Hmmmm, “Gaze Detection” or “Spidey Sense”? I vote for “Spidey Sense”, because we all know that “Spidey Sense” is real!

I always think of a story my grandfather told me about walking a remote part of the Florida swamps. Something immediately told him to turn around. When he did, the biggest snake he had ever seen was hanging from a tree (at eye level), about a foot from his face. He still says how weird it was that something inside him alerted him of that danger.

That’s creepy Denise! I don’t buy all of what this guy is saying. I think there are true situations where we feel we are being watched, or somethings not right within our environment because our body is alerting us of a danger. Like a creepy snake or a creepy person, something in us knows!

Sorry, this is a really ignorant explanation. Poor choice. It’s patronizing and factually wrong.
