WhatTha?
How many times in your life have you "sensed" that someone was looking at you, so you turned your head and looked, and, sure enough, someone was indeed staring straight at you...

What exactly is going on here?

This has happened to me numerous (NUMEROUS!!) times in my life. And I'm sure it's happened to most of you. It's almost like we feel a "tap on the shoulder." We turn... and someone, indeed, is staring at us.

What exactly is going on here?

It does happens everyday of our life.
The real question is:
Did you sensed someone in your back looking at you?
Or only in your 90 degress vision?

yeah i feel that every day.

i am working on something with my head down,

then i get this tingleing sensation on my back, and my brain just goes "whoa! is someone watching me?"

and i turn around, and yep yep some1 is!

i wonder why we feel ppl eyes staring at us when our backs are turned. the expression "eyes on the back of your head" comes to mind.

Being a slouch is an element of vanity-based humility maintenance in the interest of equality within the oneness.

To answer the OP's question: yes, and oh yeah, and from ANY angle. Let me ask you this? Do you get a slight burning sensation too; before you turn to see? Just curious. Take care, Jody

Timeless synchronicity. Now, if someone in a perceived reality shift shouted, "Hey, stop staring at me last Tuesday!", that would really be something.

Can you sense when someone else detects photons reflected from you? No.

When you're sitting down or doing whatever, chances are you look up around you all of the time without thinking, you don't even take notice of yourself doing it. Then on the odd occasion that you do look up and you see someone looking at you, you do take notice.

It's like with clocks, a lot of people tend to check the time constantly without taking notice, but when the clock reads "11:11" or some other 'special' time, then they take notice and so think every time they look at the clock it reads that time. It's all about the selective recalling of memories.

Yes, this is what I am referring to. When you have your head down, or you are looking straight ahead... and think you are totally alone... you don't even know anyone else is present... but you are suddenly distracted by a "feeling" that comes over you... a feeling that you are being watched... so you turn your head... and you are shocked to see that, indeed, someone else is present, looking at you.

Or here's another scenario: You are seated in an audience. Suddenly your attention is diverted from the speaker on stage. For the purpose of this example, let's say the speaker on stage is at the 12:00 position. You feel something like a "tug" or a tap on your shoulder. You turn around and look over your shoulder. All eyes in the audience are on the speaker. However, behind you, totally out of your peripheral vision, at, say, the 5:00 position, is an old friend who has spotted you, and has been looking at you. What made you "feel" the old friend's eyes on you? What pulled your attention away from the speaker, and made you turn around to took?

Yes, sometimes it's as if I have eyes in the back of my head. I can't say it happens to me every day. But it's happened to me numerous times in my life.

nice answer raptor X7 but it is not the only answer there are other things that we don't know yet , but here is an other answer to that question :

you are using device that you realy don't know what is its full powers and abilities , i think that you all know that when you move ur hand or any part of ur body ur brain send signal to it to get moved or when u get hurt the place send signal to the brain that this place is wounded and some more and more but in the end u dont feel anything of that and u even did not see ur brain to know if u have one grin2.gif anyway the brain have alot of abilities that we all dont know them yet and it is responsable for alot of things but in this subject ur brain have the ability to send and receive signals but some ppl have this ability more then other i mean stronger as they might start to notice it and that mean they put thier legs on the first step or by natural as they say it gifted as some ppl born with good health and other born with bad health and sometimes u r in state that make u easier to send or receive that signals .
