It's like an episode of Orphan Black. A woman who discovered another woman that looked exactly like her has discovered an additional woman that could also pass as her twin.

Niamh Geaney, who met up with her real-life doppelganger in April after launching an online campaign to link up "twin strangers," has found a second person that really resembles her.

While Geaney's first lookalike, Karen Branigan, weirdly lived only an hour away from her in Ireland, her new clone, Luisa Guizzardi, lives in Italy. So the 22-year-old travelled all the way to Genoa to see her face mirrored on yet another stranger. This time, she spent time with Guizzardi's family and friends before meeting her in person. One friend, Andrea, had a startling effect on her.

"When I met Andrea, he said that myself and Luisa have the same presence or aura," she said. "I broke down and cried." She then met Luisa's mother, who starting crying herself.

Geaney said she was nervous before meeting her second lookalike, but within moments, she was noticing how alike they were, with similar gestures and movements.

"So great to meet you and meet your face," she said.

The Twin Strangers project allows anyone to submit a photo of themselves and a description of their features. They'll then receive notifications of any close matches.

Geaney found her first twin stranger earlier this year. She's looking for another five.

Fits with the theory that there are only a thousand real people and the rest are special effects. xp

Once she finishes establishing her ring of assassins they will make big money killing people and robbing jewelry stores and eyewitnesses will be thwarted in police line ups. smile

Years ago when I was in the navy on the USS Enterprise (aircraft carrier - lots of people) I had several of my work mates swear up and down there was this one guy they would see once in a while who looked exactly like me.

I never personally saw the guy. There were roughly 6,000 people on board and he worked in some other department / area of the ship. But people would cross paths once in a while in hallways or on the mess decks and my friends saw him. And a couple of them were close enough friends I believe they were telling me the truth and not just pulling my leg.

Fuzzy Dragon

There was a guy from Ohio (in SC) who moved down here a few years ago that looked like a slightly younger version on my uncle. He had been called by my uncles name and my uncle his. He even fooled my mom.

Wintry Dragon

I did encounter a couple of close ones, never up close. I once showed my mom a picture of one them and she thought I was that person.

Well, this reminds me of last years cashiering, when I found 13 pairs of doppelgangers in my line throughout the summer.

Man, I don't know if that's downright spooky or really interesting.....Dopplegangers are a strange concept for sure! eek

I think I've gotten pretty close to those who look like me, but it's often on tv and never in my actual life.

Kawaii Shoujo

I remember my uncle sending a photo of a guy that really resembled my father and it was taken not long after my parents came back from their trip.

Invisible Player

A friend sent me a picture of a girl he saw at a parade. She had cankles, I was not happy. I have very nicely defined ankles.

My mom came across my doppleganger on a very unfortunate sexy pop up. It was bad....she woke me up by throwing things at me....

Now it's only a matter of figuring out which one wants to kill you and take your place. Or maybe its both.

Don't know the movie. Was just referring to doppelganger myths in general.
