Re: That feeling you get when you know someone looks at you...

I have always wondered about that strange feeling you get when someone

when you are just looking casually somewhere else, into space... And
then you suddenly get this instinct feeling to turn your head
sideways, and it's like by magic your eyes just find and meet that
person's, where you just suddenly become aware that someone is looking
at you and unconsciously you look back at them, and then a second
afterwards you realize they were looking at you, too.

And it's even more strange when it happens the other way round; like
taking the scenario of driving on the road, when I'm in the car and
looking at someone else; another person who is in the car driving
alongside the one I am in. And it's freaky, how you look at them and
they suddenly turn their head towards you, as though they had felt
your presence all along and knew you were looking at them.

So the big question I've always thought being: Why does this happen?
And does anyone else have this sort of experience? Most people I know
have had the same sort of thing happen, lots of times as well. May be
it could be something like the eyes send out some kind of light, which
the receptor's body is sensitive to, or it might be an electromagnetic
ray which hasn't yet been discovered in science, or something amazing
like that. Could anyone else please tell me, if they know why it
happens, or can guess?

however much the study shows that it was coincidence, i have woken up
because of feeling watched. even though someone enters the room
quietly and does not create any other reason for you to become aware
of their presence, a person still often wakes up. i think the study
might be skewed because of the expectation that arises from being in a
study group. unfortunately i have no idea why this occurs.
