From Wikipedia: "Recent scientific experimentation has duplicated several doppelgänger effects when electrical stimulation was applied to the left temporoparietal junction of the brain of a patient". There may be a natural explanation.

May be in these experiments we can just say that our minds has a capacity to do things that we could not imagine. Like what some scientist said that we only use 10percent of our brain. I wonder if it is true and someone can use his brain 100 percent I wonder what kind of ability he can do.

Your aunt's experience doesn't sound like a depersonalization disorder to me. Depersonalization is a kind of hallucination, but your aunt's experience sounds like a different type of visual hallucination...if it is hallucination at all. It could also have been a doppelganger. I have never met one, but I believe that they do exist. Some time ago I heard a story about a man who also met a dobbelganger. When he saw the dobbelganger he got very surpriced and he was also very curious to find out more so he changed his original plans and followed the dobbelganger. If he hadn't changed his plans he would have gotten involved in a accident and he believes that the dobbelganger saved him from the accident.

If we look at the universe, try to understand it and how it works,all of these silly things will disappear from our mind.Universe is too big and powerful to accommodate spirits,ghosts etc.Everything is in our minds,fill it with curiosity not with fear.

Sometimes I what to experiences these vague things too. but I can say even when I'm not scare of it I think it will make me ghost bumps. anyway depersonalization disorder is a personality disorder based on its sources.

I am not an expert on this, but all I know that doppelgangers are omens of misfortune and evil to befall someone who was copied. It is scary and I am happy to say I never experienced this yet.
