What makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up? Is it just imagination?
The last couple of nights I have just had the most creapy feeling that when the lights go out there is something there that I can't see. My heart runs so fast, I get out of breath and almost to a panic. All the lights come on in the house.
Do any of you have that kind of feeling ever? What do you think causes it, or is it just one of those inexplanable things? Is there something in the dark, watching us?

nothing is actually watching us, unless you have paranormal activity already around you or int he house. Other then htat, just relax and let the positive vibeds flow gently trhought you. Or this will make you paranoiyac

I'm used to having ghosts around. they kinda make themselves know. I have one in the closet that I think is afraid of the dark...he keeps turning on the closet light. lol
it just happens when i'm walking around the house..or after i crawl into bed.

I agree that unless there are other examples of paranormal events, it may be nothing. No disrespect intended. I'm more afraid of the humans watching. lol

Then it is could be something that you are not used to spirit wise. Something you can barely detect. I am used to feeling ones that are faint, but it could be one that is barely there and watching you or one that is just something you have problems detecting (and did not know it). I could ramble on but A) I can only say what I am used to and B) I I still need to know more anyway.


Plus we all get that way sometimes in any case. Just calm down and let things be.

i know that feeling. i had it last night in fact. i heard things that were abnormal for the noises in my apt. i almost thought somone had broken in. i am used to ghosts and spirits but this was nothing like that. and it felt malicious. i didnt tell my girlfriend about it because it really made the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. and when that happens, she gets scared.

i tink its possible for places to have some type of energy around even if its not usual for that particular place. i agree that you should jus let it be. try not to get worked up abuot it.

I dont know if im really being watched there I know there are spy satalite always in space lookin over everyones business all the time but in my opinion I wouldnt worth the time to have those type of things watchin me at all.

I have the feeling of being watched in my house frequently as I have found two spirits here: a young woman and a boy. The young woman was here when I bought the house and the boy joined me from an antique wardrobe that I purchased.

I also got the feeling of being watched while in the Midddle East in the Army I am sure I was under observation by less spiritual beings there. ;)

Your instincts could just be picking up on something...

Maybe there is something there, just faintly, and your letting yourself know? that could be what's causing your fear.

Or, maybe, it's your pre-cog telling you something will, or could, happen in the future...

I wouldn't say to ignore it, just try not to let it scare you and pay attention to your surroundings.

I had that feeling before and I tried to ignore it. A few weeks later I decided to pay attention to it and I discovered that it was a spirit. Depending on the vibes you get from the general direction can also help to give you a way of handling it. If it doesn't feel threatening then relax. Its there for a reason that doesn't involve hurting you. If it feels threatening then I would try to get rid of it by asking it to leave. Usually they do. You might also be empathic and picking up on past energy.

i have had this feeling many times since my daughter's father has died. it would stop for a while then start again i am not the only one in my family that has sensed something the odd thing is when there is nothing his mother is having those feelings of being watched

There are spirits in this world, but only a few can actually feel them or even see them... yes, I do believe that there are unseen forces in this world, call them what you will, but they are there. Call it paranoia or whatever, but I know that they are there. There are both helpful and mamonovalent ones. It all comes down to what you believe and what you have experienced.

Something freaky that I have noticed, and maybe I'm just as ordinary as anyone... When I enter a house, a room or a generally finite space (nothing the size of a national park lol) I can always sense what feels like the electricity from a television left on. Whenever I get that feeling, I know someone is nearby and I have never been wrong about it. Like I said, it may not be a big deal, some people can feel energy...

Well I know a lady killed herself in my house. But I want to know how and I haven't found anything on her death... I was wondering if anyone knew where I could look or what would help? But I don't even know her name so that makes it hard...

those feelings are usually trying to tell you something
if they persist i would start doing a little detective work
into the house or paying attention to people who live nearby

it may be somthing watching you despite what everyone else says. there are things out there that have nothing to do with any other paranormal activity and can be there and yet unseen perhaps some one is watching you astrally and your apprehension is not a good sign i would beef up your magical defences around your house and try to purify the air
set sage burning and such

Well, I know how you feel, because I've been feeling the same exact way for the past year or so...I'm wondering if I'm just being really paranoid. But in any case, I personally think that my mind isn't just playing tricks on me.

I think their is something always watching us, at all times...

i have had that feeling before and it is really wierd and disturbing. i believe that soemthing really is watching us when we recieve that hair-raising feeling...and believe me it is true

I am not sure why but, sometimes I get the feeling that I am being watched...and 90% of the time...I am...LoL

CryingMist, I find your statement very broad..please can you specify were you get your facts from? Or is it in your opinion that there is no-one in the netherland watching us?

Sounds like a poltergeist to me. As long as it isn't creating any serious problems, you should probably just try to ignore it and hopefully it will go away on its own.

I always feel like I'm being watched but I think that just may be because I'm paranoid. But if your feeling is so strong you may be right.

I used to feel like that quite a bit in the last houise I lived in. But now it is a good feeling.

eather it means that your being wached and or (what i always thought it ment) someone is talking about you, polting against you or talking bad about you

I would say it is just your overactive conscious, hun.
It's possible there's "something" going on, for sure. However, most who experience these feelings are subconsciously (read that clearly - subconsciously) giving themselves way too much credit. Just trying to convince yourself that there are 8 billion people in the world just like you will do the trick fast to remember we aren't really that cool.

Like I said, though, it's certain possible.

It could be a fear that has built itself within you. I fear that I am being watched when I'm at home, but that is something that comes along with my ocd.

I understand how you feel. Some times the feeling is stronger in other places. And most strong at night. Perhaps it's the fear of not being able to see as well in the dark.

I have had similar experiences and find most are precognitive... however there are things in this world that can't always be known or understood, so I think you need to try and either forget it or get some help in understanding it.

to know that your being watched is scary enough but when your in a very closed space and you have no way of seein out you know that no one can see you but you still feel a presents there with you is truly a scary thought

We all get that feeling from time to time...

We are never alone........so we should get used it to that fact. Phantoms fill the skies and they constantly watching us. Our only defense is to remain oblivious and get on with our lives.

some also may have a higher level of awareness, this would be the reason that we experience the sensations of being watched..

I've had that feeling. I can't explain why it happens but I've felt I was being watched and no one was ever there. I just take it as my imagination running away from me but you never know, there maybe something to it.

some of us are watched more then others and yea i do get those feelings although im not scared of them i just get a nice surprise everyonce and a while lol most watchers or spirits or what ever is there with you usually arnt there to hurt you so dont freak

they usually say that the reason your hair stands up whether it is on your arms legs back or back of neck is to protect your skin from something touching it. you never know it may have been a spirit getting close and your hair sensed it and was protecting you. but what could hair protect.

I used to have the feelings. It could be something paranormal trying to connect with you. I have felt nothing of the sort for a few days. I have had my abilities bound because of personal reasons. I am glad I am unable to recognize this now though.

Things happen but just be calm almost nothing come to attack without having a reason

I think we all get the creepy crawlies on occasion. I find that when I am not in familiar surroundings, I am more apt to feel that hair raise on the back of my neck! Walking through a really old graveyard at night is a good way to experience this!

....sometimes an entity is trying to gather enough energy to appear so tha tis why we feel that way some times

good point i agree there

Nothing is watching you.
I mean the dark can be a scary place,
And I would understand why.
But,
I get the same feeling,
But I look at it as if some kind of game.
What I do is...

I sleep with a strange object around me and lead myself to beleive that who ever's "out to get me" cannot touch that thing.
Like they have some kind of alergic reaction to it or something.
I know it's weird but it workks...
For me anywayys.

I refuse to go to a graveyard any more by myself, unless it is one I am familar with. i've had many bad experiences with them. I hated cring over a grave of someone when I saw their life flash before me.
I'm not afraid of the dark, I'm afraid of what is in the dark. While the boogey man might not be in my closet there are things in the dark that will and can hurt. The feelings of being around stuff like that is intoxicatingly scary.

yea i have things come to me all the time. And i can sence were they are and who they are and why they are here. at my bfs house though i have a man in his 30s who comes to lay by my side in bed but he wants to kill me. Weird but it doesnt actully bother me that much.

I've had conversations with the dead, if that is what you want to call it. I've had intuitions. I've even fallen asleep driving and woke up with my car running sitting in my front yard. I'm not afraid of "ghosts" I'm afraid of the stuff i don't know about.
The feeling you get when you walk into a house, a room and your throat clogs up, you can't breathe and your heart is racing. It could be daylight out, it could be pitch black, but you can feel eyes burrowing into you, and you can't tell from where. That is what is scary.

maybe your sencing a badness with into house or a room... eather a spirit or something that happend in the past

Yes I have the feeling of being watched most of the time and do not really worry about it and yes it is a very eerie feeling.The thing about it is we are always being watched , whether we believe it or not or perceive it. I just let it go until something grabs me, because there is no use to make a mountain out of a mole hill, so just relax and enjoy the feeling that someone or something has found you interesting enough to watch and unless it tries to harm you I would not worry about it.

I can't really say that I've ever had the feeling of being watched, but have felt the sensations of an energy presence.By that I don't necessarily mean of a supernatural kind, but of excess energy from others and even Mother Earth herself.I wouldn't suggest that just because you have that feeling means anything ill-boding towards you,unless you get the sickening feeling in the pit of your stomach accompanying it.

I get that feeling all the time, especially at night but i don't think i am actually being watched by someone

ive had it when i was sleeping at home but when i went to my grandparents house the last 2 nights i didn't feel anything

i think we are watched by vampires and witchs and werewofle the fight about what you are going to be like if the vampire wanted you to be a vampire the witch wanted you to be a witch and the wereworlfe wanted you to be a werewofle. they would fight about it so hope your a vampire lol

There really could be something in the dark watching you dear. I have lived in homes before where I felt the very same. I did not sleep alot. Is this a new home?

When I was taking my Master's level in Reiki there were four beings that were watching us. I sat on the couch and looked at them. My teach looked straight at me and said, "You see them too?" And yep I did. Two were Native american, one male and one female. The othere two were not as clear. But there they were there. Don't know if they were watching me, us or just there for another reason.

I agree with my Lil'Bro RedZombie.We have things that run the Desert Wastelands,that are not mortal or desert creatures.I to have felt watched I have made friends so to speak of,as I don't bother then they leave me alone.As I am Shamanic I can vouch for watchers.Some are just there to watch over you,but if you are apprehensive, do burn some sage,and put up defences.It is easy,message me here on VR I'll help you with that.Someone could also be scrying on you that ha happened to me and is also easy to fix.
KA

i have that feeling all the time. for me it is because i am thinking about someone so much that it feels like they are with me. i always feel like they are up in the vents watching me. it always makes me very self-conscious. i think to get rid of that eerie feeling you could try to think of something funny and not a person, an inanimate object. not even what someone said becuase then you might start thinking about them.

maybe theres a ghost that wants itself to be known. or a loved one maybe. watching over you.

cold air

It wouldn't be cold air. I'm used to the cold. The house stays 62 degress constantly. if I get hot I take a cold shower or grab and ice pack. My body can't handle heat.

It is all in your head.... if you walk by yourself on a dark alley at night, you`re alone, you start to think of different 'scenarios'... i guess it`s pretty obvious to start and 'think' someone`s behind you and is about to stab you in the back or something... fear makes all happen... i had many times the feeling of being watched, but i always found a rationable explanation for all

actually if you are in an alley way there is a perfectly good chance that their could be somewhere there. whether they mean to harm you or not is a completely different subject. there could very well be a neighbor lurking in the shadows, but that doesn't mean they're trying to scare you or harm you on purpose. maybe whoever it is doesn't even realize you're there and are simply hiding because they had the same feeling and then saw your silhouette.

i have had this problem numerous times.its just merely my x being here with me.

Are you the only one that feels this all the time?

sometimes something eather bad or good is going to happen

well it could be a few things I pay attention when it happens :)

The old saying if a ghost is about ur hair on ur neck stands up, u get chills and u do feel that sense that u r being watched have u seen or heard anything unexplainable

Good point Dragon spawn, keep an eye out

I have always believed that it depends on the person in question as to what makes their hair on the backs of their necks stand up. Sometimes it is for a reason and others it is because they expect something to happen, therefore their body reacts to that anticipation.

As for whether I believe if there is something watching us in the dark. I think there are almost always spirits and entities around watching us at different. I become paranoid because I get the "you're being watched" feeling quite often. But as for the dark, I am terrified of it. I always see shadows of things moving, if not more. I freak out when I am in the complete dark without someone I trust, examples being my mom or my boyfriend and I almost always have a working or undying flashlight around.

I always do I'm constantly being followed by my grand parents everyday

all kinds of different things cause the hair on the back of my neck to go up, from arousal to drinking too much coffee to things of a more spiritual nature. i find that if i stay aware od what is going on around me, as well as what's going on in my life, i find the answers to that particular situation.
sometimes i strongly feel as if i am being watched, but most the time not. i have had a lot of dear ones pass and consider it them checking up on me from time to time. i find it comforting. ;)

If you have talked to the dead before then it is very possible that you have one following you or maybe their trying to gather energy. But talking to the dead can invite others too sometimes. Like a wraith or shade/ shadow or even lesser D*m*ns/. Maybe you can tell I dont even like talking about some of them. I had a huge problem with all 3 of them in the past and because of it I never let any room in my home have a light off for very long. The best thing to do if your getting those kind of vibes is clear the house just in case. Smudge the whole house. Put up protection symbols and barriers in all the entrances and exits including windows. That will get just about anything out. Once you clear the house start sealing from the windows and work through the whole house until you get to the front door last that way you dont seal in something there. If you seal your home you have to do it to every doorway including closets and bathroom doors. Every doorway. If you want a great barrier write your barriers in runic and gaelic. I personally use only runic barriers.
Also if you think you have a shade / shadow or witch then barrier the backside of your mirrors too.

I like to think deceased loved ones are always with me watching over me

its nothing but just that its playing on your mind and you become concious about it. its all phsycological.

I totally disagree. I think it can be all in your head but I also strongly believe we are being watched from above.

Alot of the people above I'd have to agree with. Sometimes its nothing but just being paranoid. Sometimes its the other worldly items. And sometimes it could be more. Best thing I can think of for you to do is try to figure out which it is. If it is really something other worldly, then try getting in contact with it in some way to figure out why its there and its purpose. And sometimes, doing nothing is the best method as well.

I've had the feeling that I was being watched ever since I was a kid and watched my first vampire movie. Since then I even sometimes have to look twice as my mind makes me think that I see someone something peeking around corners at me. Kinda freaks me out sometimes lol

i get this feeling all the time to be honest. Its your sub concouse mind thats doing it and its just energy in the air thats causing this. I know nine times out of ten now if its paranormal activity or just me thinking to much about something as we do have spirits in the bedroom and living room so i dont feel so worried no more bu it is quite scary, heart racing, mind working over time, body tempraure rises, hairs stick up on end.

YES YOU ARE BEINF WATCHED ... we all are

i think we are all being watched at some certain time in our life and i do not know by who are why they decide to choice a paticular person or why them at the time

I think we are all being watched, all the time- by those we knew, people we don't know... it depends. I have had a connection with a lady I never knew in life. It started back in 1992, and we've been connected ever since. I feel her moreso when I am across Lake Ponchartrain (on the New Orleans side).

yes it is very possible that someone or something can be doing this to you i have had a few things l;ike that happen to me befor yeh its kind of spooky cause you dont know whats gonna happen or how but its kool to have had that exsperience i feel someone is always around us

I have lived in my house for the last 6 years and when we bought it it was in need of restoration, I felt nothing, not untill resently, I am ok upstairs but when i am down stairs I have this 'being watched feeling' I am not sure why this could be as like I say it is only recently, it happens not just at night but any time,
I have two boys and they feel it to.

I usually only get the feelinh I'm being watched when someone is staring really hard.

i get the feeling qiute alot, i think im porbably just paranoied and as im already frightened my mind plays tricks on me makeing me think that i hear things or something moves. its horrible.. i know its not real but it seems so real.

IndigoBizarre, that is really interesting- what do you mean by that exactly?

Well, if you alredy believe that you have spirits in your house then that would make sence to this feeling- I have often felt the way you descibed, but I think that is due to our inherent predator/prey instinct, that can be intensified when were stressed- for example, why do you think that some people are scared of the dark? Its self-preservation that still lies around in us, or at least that is what I think.

I think maybe you should try to figure out why you are feeling this way when you are on your own- maybe try some meditation to try and think through your problems, ans see if something there could be making you panic.

I would have to agree with most here I think that we are being watched in one way or another. I from personal experience have seen some of the ones that watch me whether it be spirit or real. Of course that is just me.

I often get the feeling Im being watched or someone is standing behind me to turn and find no one there.. i have heard something walking around upstairs in my house when ive been the only one home..I was always told its not the dead we should be afraid of its the living that will hurt you

there r many spirits that walk with us here,but,,,,,,,u r in charge of how u handle it,,,,,,,,,,,,try going to a native store and asking for smudge sticks they will sometimes alleviate the stress around u and perhaps your visitors can relate to u as u would like

Its basically like our 7th sense, (yes i did say 7)
Its the same as when you think/ feel someone is talking about you. You could definatley call it intuition.
Its a sense of what is happenign around and near you. You cant necassarily see but you can feel somethign invading your personal space.
I'd suggest a book

"The sense of being stared at and othe aspects of the extended mind" By Rupert Sheldrake.

Its definatley an interesting read... :)

For me I feel presents most of the time.There are spirites around us all the time.A lot of us aren't open minded enough to feel them.The one's around me are loud sometimes,Like slamming doors or whispering and moving things around it pretty awesome.I always say you shouldn't be afraid of the dead,it's the living you should worry about.....

well in my opinion there is always something watching weather it be spirits karma or energy there is always something

Perhaps there is something watching you. Or, maybe aan undigested piece of meat. Fear of the unknown,that includes the dark, is what causes these feelings. But of course there are things in the dark :)

Sometimes I feel as if I'm being watched or as if I hear something or see something. But I've drawn out a solution to y I feel this way. Sometimes I feel as if there is a parallel world that sometimes colides with our world and when it does...I hear things, see things, and feel as if someone is watching me. So what I do is I close my eyes and just imagine myself in a dark room with no lights. It helps.

im not being watched

It is very possible that a ghost may be visiting you. Don't be afraid. Begin speaking to him/her and tell him/her to find peace and go to heaven. Tell him/her to leave your house.

enchanted you are very right , i was just aout to say almost the same thing

honey I get that feeling alot and when i feel as though something bad is goimg to happen i run like hell to get a light on and then I am ok...

When something like that happens and whether you like it or not I find the best way is to speak out and say you are aware of their presence, use your guides and tell them if your uncomfortable and to leave you be

it happens,i get it some say its for little kids but what can u do i mean what is there to do ! but u always wake up an so its easy

hah, yeah I only get that when I am home alone for over 12 hours..i go a bit nuts becasue I like the feeling of another in the same house with meh...I dunno its kinda odd I guess..but comferting sometimes.

it's never happened to me but I know what causes it.
