Upcoming show on Friday: That feeling of being watched

spying_2534506b

I have spoken to many witnesses and have experienced that feeling of being watched but what causes this?

“The feeling that other people are staring at you is hard-wired into your brain, even if no one is paying you the slightest bit of attention, scientists have found.”

I am sure most people have experienced this feeling or will at one time in their lives, is it hard-wired into your brain as science suggests or is there more to it? I am going to be bringing on a special guest who was kind enough to take the time to speak with me and has agreed to come on the show. I was fascinated listening to what he had to say.

Join me Friday night!

    Hey Wes, could be entertaining. Someone told me a long time ago, that women, always seem to know when they’re being watched, (ogled); with good reason. It’s a survival thing I guess, being pre-programed from the hand of their Creator. If women didn’t have that, or refused to discern that inward warning, or, still small voice, there would be a lot more crime against them. Men, on the other hand experience similar warnings, but for the most part, it’s going to be in an area where danger, perhaps unexpected, may be near. He may not even be aware of it, but there’s just something that isn’t quite right-and he may know this.
    These types of “warnings”, have happened to me more times than I can remember. The funniest one happened in Northern Minnesota, when I was about 17. I had gone out side to relieve myself, next to a huge red pine tree. Just wizzin away, when I felt something — just not copacetic, like I was being watched. Still doing my business, I curiously peaked around the tree, only to see the cutest yearling black bear cub, staring right into my eyes! Instant stop!!! In the mili-second before running full tilt back to the cabin, I was wondering where in the heck his big-hacked off mamma is! (I was really quick on my feet in those days, and was sure I would still be tackled with the bone crunching bites; but I didn’t have time to think-just react. My dad laughed himself silly, and after I calmed down and got the adrenalin out of my system, well, I guess I laughed a bit too.)

      I agree David D, about the Creator. He did give us warnings, more so for women, I told that to one of my male co-workers and he doesn’t really believe it, AND he’s a cop of all things! lol. But that’s how I knew something was watching me during 1 of my own encounters, because shortly after that it made that awful noise! Aside from that, maybe our brains are used to certain sounds like dogs barking, crickets chirping, etc and when a bigfoot is near (that we don’t know about yet) all those noises stop and perhaps we think, ‘are we being watched?’…just an idea but I think that God gave us that ability to help warn us of danger! I can tell ya this, I’ve come across all kinds of wildlife and none of them gave me that feeling of being watched! Except for my strange encounter which I can only relate to bigfoot!

    Hi Wes,
    I took a masters class a few years ago and a guest speaker/author spoke for several hours about just this human ability. He said we all are a little psychic and have these survival instincts. We even tested it by conducting an experiment. We paired up and took turns looking or not looking at each other and try

    Trying to sense if you were being watched. 150 students did this ten times and had a combined score of 68% correct response. So if humans can sense other humans staring at each other than we should definitely be able to feel such a dangerous being sizing us up with malcontent. I will try to get the author and send you the title if anyone’s interested?

    I 100% believe this to be true……from personal experience. It was late a night, somewhere around one or two o’clock in the morning. I was headed west on I-20 in Mississippi. I needed to make a “pit” stop and the next exit I came to had no businesses, but I decided to take it pull off and take care of the issue. I had no more gotten out of the truck and a feeling of “I HAVE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE” came over me. I jumped back into the truck and beat it out of there. I could not shake that panicked feeling for a good while, even after stopping at the next exit that had a truck stop and well lighted. I honestly feel that if I had not gotten out of there when I did, something bad would have happened. I really want to hear what this guest has to say about these things.

    This is nothing to do with Go or our creator giving us a gift, it is simply the way our brain works. We can do more than one thing at a time, but for the most part we are concentrating on one thing and solving that issue. Our brain however is always processing everything and the uncomfortable feeling is our brain saying ‘ Errr did you not just hear that, and by the way there is a funny smell’. Should you not be concentrating on this’. Sometimes whatever your brain is pointing out could be new experience for you and therefore this feeling can last a while because you have not yet established this is danger, but your instinct is telling you something is wrong and it is time for fight or flight.

    This feeling can also come about because of something I came across in Ninjitsu years ago when I practised the art. We would stand behind each other and at a totally random time go to strike the person in front on one side or the other. With concentration and practice within six months I could sense them coming, react, dodge or even counter their move without looking. I once saw Brian McArthy (10th Dan) take on 15 black armed black belts totally blind using this very technique without been struck once. Without sounding all Yoda, it was explained to me that all things have energy flowing through them and with practice our brain can feel it. Linking back into my first paragraph, I honestly think we all have it but because we no longer live with predators in the woods we do not use this skill and it is not as acute. When I go hunting, and after several days being careful, quiet and stealthy I notice my sense is much stronger but as I have not practised Ninja in twenty years I can no longer do the same trick so it does go when not used.

    I was at a party once, and only knew a few people there. I was chatting with a friend when a wave of panic and nausea washed over me out of nowhere. It was both emotional and physical reactions. I looked up and was drawn right to the glaring stare of a man clear across the room. I have no idea who he was, but the malevolence in his face and eyes was terrifying, and everything else in the room blurred and faded, with my focus stuck on him, like tunnel vision. I left the party immediately. When I listen to an encounter story, it puts me right back in that room and I can feel his stare. I think I would pass out if it was ever from a sasquatch!

    I definitely think it’s our primal animal instinct kicking in. Or what we have left of it. The author of Them and Us explains this rather well actually. I believe before we became what we refer to as “civilized”, we were probably hunted to a certain degree. Probably easy pickings for our larger close relatives such a Neanderthals and more than likely by Sasquatch at some point. If Aborigines from Australia and Natives from the U.S. and countless other places have stories of these animals kidnapping, stealing, eating and just overall terrorizing them, I could only assume that we were targeted by these types of animals for a certain amount of time. But when this happened, I’m sure it effected, horrified and traumatized our ancestors to such a degree that a piece of that still sticks with us to this day. Which I’m sure accounts for some of our folklore and stories about giant, hairy, vicious, horrible monsters coming after us and taking people and children that wander to far or misbehave. And maybe that could explain a portion of why people are so fearful and horror stricken when they see these animals

    A couple of years ago I was at my cabin in the Chequamegon National Forest in northwest Wisconsin raking leaves outside when I felt somebody something was looking at me. I was by myself and there was no one up at the lake on which my cabin is located. I turned around very slowly and saw a beautiful red fox like 10 yards behind me just staring at me. The fox then walked up a few stairs onto my deck on the cabin and proceeded to walk about 30 yards which was the length of my deck toward the woods. The fox looked very healthy. He proceeded to spend about an additional one hour with me as I continued to rake and then walked off into the woods. He showed up again a few hours later when it was dark outside and I had the outdoor floodlights on. I was outside on my deck and he walked up the stairs onto my deck and was about two feet from me and I told him he probably should go back to his foxhole. I motioned to him with my hands that I had nothing to give him and he turned and walked off into the dark. I saw him off and on over the next few months. I never saw him whenever there were other people with me. By the way, I have heard what sounds like a woman screaming extremely loud at night at my cabin. So loud that I have goosebumps.
