Friends Who Notice They Look Alike Discover An Overwhelming Truth
Most of us have been told, at some point, that we look "just like" someone else. What if this kind of uncanny resemblance turned out to be more than just a coincidence? For one Virginia woman, she simply laughed off all the talk that she and a friend were lookalikes — at first. But as she dug deeper into her past, she discovered a shocking truth that unraveled a generation's worth of secrets.
A Big Move
In 2004, Rachelle Dyer, a Seattle-based elementary school teacher, moved her family nearly 2,500 miles to Virginia to take a job as an assistant special education teacher at Tallwood Elementary in Virginia Beach. She knew there'd be plenty of changes — though she wasn't ready for all of them.
Twin Left Behind
It was a big change for Rachelle, who left her twin sister, Kristelle, and her adopted family behind in Washington for a place where she had no relatives or friends to speak of. But the faculty at Tallwood quickly took a liking to the new teacher — though it was for a reason no one expected.
Lookalike Teacher
Apparently, Rachelle looked almost identical to a former Tallwood teacher named Shannon Nicoll, who was now working at nearby King's Grant Elementary. Rachelle didn't see it at first, but the more photos of Shannon the faculty showed her, the more she noticed how similar they looked.
Never Met
Word of the uncanny resemblance eventually reached Shannon, who couldn't help but admit that she and Rachel did look very much alike. But all of these comparisons were, of course, just a matter of opinion. The two had never met!
