Can you feel when someone is staring at you...?

Answer 1

yes I can., especially if its you =)

Answer 2

A common belief is that people can tell when someone is staring at them, and some parapsychologists contend this is a form of distant mental influence.According to parapsychologists, a commonly reported form of distant mental influence on human beings is "the feeling of being stared at," which is closely related, historically, to the notion of the "evil eye." Considerable folklore endorses the idea that gazing at someone carries special powers, favors, or influence. Folklore aside, contemporary opinion polls confirm that the feeling of being stared at is known in all cultures (Radin 1997).

A typical occurrence is that of a woman eating alone at a diner who suddenly becomes agitated. Then the hair on the back of her neck raises and she gets the feeling that someone is watching her-someone behind her. She turns and, sure enough, a young woman is staring directly at her. This type of situation is reported over and over and raises the question: Can a starer's intense focus affect the human nervous system?According to some parapsychologists it not only can but does, and they insist that it has been confirmed in several laboratory studies, (e.g., Braud, Shafer, and Andrews 1993a; Braud, Shafer, and Andrews 1993b; Schlitz and LaBerge 1994 and 1997; and Peterson 1978). Wiseman, on the other hand, in a series of studies (Wiseman and Smith 1994; Wiseman, Smith, Freedman, Wasserman, and Hurst 1995) as well as a study carried out with Schlitz (Wiseman and Schlitz 1997) found no evidence of psychic functioning. In fact, psi (extrasensory perception) proponents are the only ones who seem to obtain evidence for psi while skeptics do not and, as Wiseman notes (Wiseman and Schlitz 1997), this fact may provide strong support for "the experimenter effect" (Palmer 1989), i.e., the experimenter somehow controls the outcome of the study. Such an effect, however, would be as mysterious-if not more so-than the alleged "staring effect" itself. In another context Wiseman (1999) suggests that the positive results might well represent a "file drawer" effect, i.e., people who failed to obtain impressive positive results simply filed the study away and didn't bother to report it. Nevertheless, Blackmore, who is a severe critic of parapsychology in general (Blackmore 1996), has stated that most contemporary parapsychologists believe this phenomena to be true and offer it as valid proof of psi.

Yes (n looking @ u also). It's "our" 6th sense by nature that we have developed. Many times (as a teenager) I felt something weird on my guts, I couldn't explained it but deep inside, I knew some1 or something was staring @ me...A year went by before my fam. & I moved 2 another part of the city (NYC) when my beautiful next door neighbor aproached me (5 minutes before we closed the moving truck doors) n confesed 2 me that 4 a long time she had a crush on me n that she used 2 look (staired) @ me through her bedroom window (curtains)...Well, all I have 2 say is that she's my fiance' now....Thankx 6th sense...lol... Kind of spoky @ the same time 2...
