That would be just super, but I'm afraid that has never happened.

There are I think two kinds of double-lynches: intentional and unintentional ones (denoting to the vague idea of "common consent" of the villagers).

The intentional double-lynches tend to be those where there is a commonly shared belief that someone is acting too weird / non-participatory to raise concern etc., but none would like to "waste" a lynch on them. So with a double-lynch people can both aim at a baddie and to remove a problem hoping to get at least one from two - or at least to get some information. Sadly the wolves surely love betting on this game...

The unintentional ones tend to be those where someone just goes on with her own idea being confident her candidate is the one to lynch and she brings in the crucial vote, or someone miscounts the votes at the last minute and produces a double - or a wolf who claims to have miscounted the votes and lynches two innocents... or whatever.

They can be good to clear out some suspicions, especially looking at the relations of the lynched one to some other suspects on the next Day when the roles are revealed, but it has it's downsides as well.
