Monsters

It’s weird that fear can be passed down genetically through your DNA. Think of how we all fear that thing in the dark. That monster. Because of our ancestors getting eatin by bears and wolves and giant cats. Or how you can pick up on being watched or hunted. If you’ve ever been in the woods or mountains or something and you got a sudden urge to gtfo. It’s an eerie feeling. Btw never ignore that feeling. If your gut says leave. You’re Probably in real danger. It’s like a sixth senses. I hope before I die we get some kind of scientific idk explanation for how Thats passed down or how it works.

Haven't you ever felt that feeling of being watched, only to spin around and someone's staring at you (and looking away while appearing embarrassed). Several times I have been thinking hard about something, say, chess moves and just happen to set my gaze on someone and they spin around like that. OTOH, one time when I was in the military, I was in the head (bathroom to you civilians) brushing my teeth with a towel wrapped around my waist and I got a very strong feeling of being stared at. I looked around, nobody was there, no stalls on the commodes to hide in or anything. Then I noticed an open window about 7 or 8 feet from where I'd been brushing my teeth and I looked outside. There was a platoon of maybe 30 woman marines listening to some ancient master sergeant WM barking something, and the ones closest to this old crone were standing at attention, but the further they were from her, the more likely they were to be staring up at my open window. As I watched them, they slowly began to turn their eyes back to the front. I'd been lifting weights a couple of years at the time and was pretty ripped, or were they just hoping the towel would fall off.

In my case Iv found the way to use that feeling or to catch people looking is to be completely absent minded. I was once walking through the woods alone. And for no reason I just turn 180 degrees and stare directly into this persons eyes that was in the woods with me. I didn’t hear them or anything. It still weirds me out thinking about it

I have had that, and the reverse where someone turns their head around to look at me just after I look over at them.
