Davies reveals that we have a spiritual form within us that can occasionally separate itself from our physical body and appear at a near or distant place, where it is mistaken for our real self, and examines this strange alter ego.

"Double" Exposure,
This review is from: Doubles: The Enigma of the Second Self (Hardcover)
Intelligent and well-researched while easy to read and enlivened with a dry sense of humor, "Doubles: The Enigma of the Second Self" is a top-notch book on the subject of doppelgangers, wraiths and OOBEs.Personally, I was disappointed that Davies believes doppelgangers are mostly some sort of astral projection, because it's a little less interesting to think that they're purely human-derived. But he makes a good case, and the khu vs. ka theory was enlightening. "Doubles" is not what I'd originally hoped -- a compendium of accounts in which a doppelganger was shown to be a separate entity acting in its own interests, and the shockhorror that ensued -- but there are some good doppel-examples cited, even if they are OOBE-related. While I've always been interested in OOBEs, I thought doppelgangers were a separate thing, since they often seem solid and real and can talk and act independently of the original person. But this book does give compelling evidence as to how (and why) a projection can take form, and that the levels of consciousness/interaction depend on how much energy it still has after separating from the body. Davies also goes into other interesting ideas as well, like were-animals being half-OOBE, half-dream type things. That might be a little "out there" for most people, but if you're reading this review, you're probably a little "out there" yourself! ;)
