Irish woman finds third doppelganger in worldwide search
Niamh Geaney has found her third doppelganger – not a bad find in a pool of 7 billion.
The Irishwoman set out to find as many of her doubles in April after making a bet with her friends.
Using the website Twin Strangers, Geaney scoured the world until she found her first doppelganger living in her homeland Ireland Karen Branigan.
She found her second living in Italy, a woman named Luisa Guizzardi.
Now, the 26-year-old TV presenter has found her third lookalike, a 26-year-old woman named Irene Adams.
She also lives in Ireland, on the west coast in a town called Sligo. And the similarities, they said, are startling.
"Aside from the facial and physical similarity (the way our eyes crinkle when we smile, the way our nose crinkles, the way our hair is the exact same colour etc) we both actually move the same way," Geaney said.
The twin strangers even look more alike than Geaney's own flesh-and-blood sisters.
Geaney is now determined to find her remaining four doppelgangers, a number based on the theory that every person has seven lookalike strangers running around out there.
That's one in every 875 million, or in Geaney's case – just another four in 3.5 billion.
