I'm looking at you!

Do you had an experience of turning around feeling that someone is looking at you from behind, and as you turn around someone is indeed looking at you?!

I have experienced this so many times in totally different scenarios and it's really quite interesting to know that I may have an extrasensory perception powers. Haha.

The latest incident was last night when I was asleep. I was lying on my side facing the cabinet, and as I opened my eyes feeling strange, I found that Reycres, my perky roomate is staring at me from the mirror. Although I can't be sure whether he was indeed staring at me because it's quite dim in the room, I can tell that he's awake sitting on the upper deck of the bed looking at my direction. He then suddenly flipped his wrist to check the time. Strange!

So since I am a slacker at work today, I googled "feeling someone is looking at you"

I found out that there was one study made by Mr. Rupert Sheldrake that discusses that it is innate with humans to sense whether we are being stared at. According to him, the sense of being stared at was deeply rooted in our animal nature and is widespread in the animal kingdom. This sense play an important role in predator-prey relationships under field conditions. According to him most people claim that they can made others turn around by looking at them. Interesting!

So it's not the extrasensory perception powers that I believed I posses after all!
