DOPPLEGANGER??
I am into the word "Doppleganger". I want to write a blog on a subject that could be described as a "doppleganger".
My problem is that I'm not sure doppleganger is the appropriate word to use. Yes, I've looked up the definition of doppleganger and it says " a ghostly double of a living person....the word dopple means "double"...the term in the vernaular refers to any double of a person, most commonly in reference to a so-called evil twin, or to bilocation...etc."
But I'm still confused. Could doppleganger be used for a deceased person? For someone who was NOT evil?
I will explain in my next blog why I am asking these questions. Any thoughts are appreciated.

...David Lynch is big on dopplegangers... my understanding of the word is "an imperfect copy", but i could be wrong about that...
dopplegangers are usually blamed for mischieveous goings on.
Like accidently hitting the caps lock? or a doppleganger at yer typpad?
