What are doppelgangers? In paranormal folklore, they're thought to be the apparitions of living people that spontaneously appear and just as quickly vanish.

In this episode, we feature the true story of a man whose friends and family have witnessed his appearance in unexplained locations. After that, we hear the story of a small group of security guards who discover an unearthly presence lurking on the sixth floor of a 100-year-old building.
