"...the phenomenon of knowing when one is being stared at. Right, Bill?"

Ummm...no, sorry Ebbie. I have of course turned around and found myself the 'object of attention', etc....but I can't ever remember 'knowing' first. I don't even 'know' when I'm about to get a phone call, or when company is coming.

I have reached for the phone and had it ring and discovered the person I was about to call was calling ME.....maybe 3 times in 50 years. Usually nothing happens....but that is not nearly so interesting and memorable, huh?
There is a VERY well documented process in human psychology of tending to 'connect' events that occur contiguously in time & space. Sometimes they are actually related, and sometimes not. (We learn that touching a hot stove with a bare hand usually leads to unpleasant results...and with that set of events we can even explain why...but to a 2 year old it is ONLY a 'happens'...without a notion why.) But if we walk under a ladder and soon thereafter spill some paint, we wonder if they are related.
Now it may well be that walking under ladders has certain built-in dangers, and stories of 'bad things' happening to those who walk under ladders may be well-founded....but walking under a ladder and then getting bad news in a phone call is streching the idea....and spilling paint 'may' be totally irrelevant.
   Still, human nature WANTS an explanation, and avoiding ladders becomes an attempt to avoid bad news. Of course, if you are juggling 47 different presumed connections, you can 'explain' almost any event by referring to one or more prior acts or events. (I don't know how many cracks I stepped on as a kid, and my mother's back was fine until she died.)

So..... when *I* turn around and find someone looking at me, I shrug...it may be that I sub-conciously noted that someone else was look at the person staring at me...or I heard something...or maybe I just guessed right. We remember when we guess right, and don't keep track of when we don't.

Now, *if* someone can reliably make detailed predictions about stuff they seem to have no way of knowing..like SINSULL and impending death.. it is worth investigating, but that 'may' have been a few coincidences. Since it no longer happens, there is little we can really say or examine.

Anyway....all that and the implications of all that are why I leave these posts in threads - to urge folks to examine their own motives, evidence and thought processes.

...and...*sly smile*...,Bob Ryszkiewicz - I have no chairs against and doors in my mind. I AM open to ideas...with decent proof. The opposite of blocking doors is throwing open ALL the doors and giving credence to anything that stumbles in. There have to be some rules & standards.
