Skeleton Songs
Doppelgängers, Fetches & Ka
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
From ancient Egypt to modern web comics, döppelgangers haunt us all. Join Alexis and Lottie as they discuss the ins and outs of these look-alikey ghouls, from Scottish fetches to Capgras syndrome via Dostoyevsky, Silent Hill 2, neuropsychology and scary mirrors. All with a sprinkling of gothic literature.
Oh! And if you run into a doppelganger in a graveyard, pray that it's the right time of day.
