Different Feeling
“It was just the funniest thing I’d ever seen ‘cause it literally was like looking in my reflection, but then the reflection would move and do something I wasn’t doing. … I don’t know how to describe that and I don’t think most people can relate to it, but it was a very, very weird feeling,” Doug said.
Not Just It
Meeting each other was not the only surprise for Doug and Howard. When the two started to talk about their respective lives and families, it was astonishing to hear about the similarities between those as well.
Co-Incidences
Both Doug and Howard got married in 1992, and both of them hated condiments. Both the brothers had kids and their kids loved playing hockey. Even their wives were very similar.
Indistinguishable
“They’ll probably get mad at me if they hear this but I think they’re more similar than me and Howie,” Doug said about his and Howard’s wives. “They both were runners. They both were successful in their fields and they both are pretty type-A personalities. I don’t know, I think they’re similar in a lot of ways. And you can only imagine that’s probably because what we both were attracted to…”
Strange Acts
Both Doug and Howard also remember that a lot of strangers recorded and shot them when they were children, and they had no idea as to why. And even though they were adopted at the same time, none of the parents were told of the twin.
Unaware Of Plans
It soon came out that both Doug and Howard were unaware of a follow-up study that they were a part of since their childhood. However, it was not as clean as it seemed. They had negative intentions and a lot of children suffered because of it.
