Oh that’s a bit tricky, since there are a few different things that could be going on here.

Like what?

Well the most likely explanation is that it means you recognize someone from a different city, who happened to move to where you live, or who you are currently seeing on the news for some reason, but in a different context from the original incident.  Another possibility is that you are recognizing someone who resembles someone else you know.

So is there psychology behind seeing doppelgangers?
