Hey guys...just thought you all could help me out. I am wondering what the name for your identical twin is called, its a term often used in the paranormal world b/c its meaning I think is more than an indetical twin but I cannot find anything on it. Its a WEIRD word like gingerheimer or something like that. Can anyone help???? Thanks!!

Are you thinking of doppelganger?

n. A ghostly double of a living person, especially one that haunts its fleshly counterpart.

Also, for your information, "doppelganger" is a German word that literally means "double walker."
