This story never actually happened to me but my friend told me about it. I"m not sure where she heard it.

There was this guy and I think that his name was Tim it was his mother"s birthday so he bought her a card. On the inside he wrote,"to Mom, Happy Birthday, Love Tim. He was at the train station and was just about to get on the train that would take him home to see his mom when he saw a mirror image of himself. There was a man standing a little ways away from him who looked exactically like himself. The only difference was that this man had a mole on his face beside his eye. Tim was amazed and to his dismay, the man began to walk away. Tim followed him and even got on the same bus as him, But as soon as he got on the bus, the man disappeared forever. Tim was pretty mad because he had missed his train so he would have to take the next one. When he finally got hime on the next train, he learned that the train he was supposed to get on had crashed and everyone had died.

He told his Mom about the man he had saw and she seemed shocked. Then he gave her the birthday card he had bought for her and signed Love Tim.

When she looked at the card she turned deathly white Then message on the card now read, Love Tim and Ted. Tim was puzzled and asked his mom who Ted was.

His mother told him the truth. That Ted was his TWIN BROTHER who had died at birth. Ted was shocked and asked his mom if Ted had any birthmarks. She told him that he had a mole on his face near his eyebrow.

Ted realized that it must have been his twin Ted who saved him from dying on that train.
