    Years ago, I lived deep in the countryside. The nearest neighbor was a few miles away. One night I woke up and, though I didn't hear or see anything, I KNEW someone was outside the house. I walked around the windows, checked the locks, didn't see anything, and eventually went back to bed. Next morning, there were candy bar wrappers littered outside my car.
    Never happened again, and never figured it out. But what I'll always remember was that strange certainty and knowing that someone was there.

    • @Mallowolf
      @Mallowolf 4 месяца назад +261

      Maybe the fact that you didn’t hear anything woke you up. Normally insects and nocturnal animals are going about their lives making noise. UNLESS a predator’s presence makes them lay low. Your subconscious may have picked up on the unusual silence.

    I think the "waking up in the middle of the night feeling watched" thing is such a good horror concept, unfortunately though it has never seemed to work on me. And I think I can attribute that just to one fact---I own two cats. I wake up OFTEN and roll over to lock eyes with two gigantic pupils staring into my soul and purring so loud that's probably what woke me up. It's like that for a lot of horror honestly. Something touching my leg that slipped out from the covers? yeah there's a cat licking my foot. Walking past a piece of furniture at night afraid something will grab me? it will, to bite my ankles. Monsters in the closet? yes there are, they're peeing on the carpet again.

      My cat has actually been a huge help with stuff like this. I briefly took a medicine that was causing me auditory hallucinations. Sounds of someone banging on the door or walls and yelling my name. But I was able to realize pretty quickly that it wasn't actually happening because my cat never reacted to the sounds. I think she would help in a similar way if I woke up in the middle of the night and felt watched. Surely she would be reacting if there was something there? So if she's acting normally im probably fine.

    I think I once read that it has something to do with a heightened Amygdala response in certain people. If you've ever just been in public, thought you were being watched, turned to look and actually saw someone staring, it's supposedly because your peripheral vision actually picked it up and signaled to the brain "Hey, contact, two o'clock." Great video , by the way! I'm glad I found your channel.

    as someone diagnosed with psychosis, the feeling of being watched and judged, especially when I am alone, persists and is near constant and inescapable. at one point, I felt that god was watching and judging me through anything that had the appearance of an eye, so he could see me through other people, through dolls, through masks, through animals, even through the eye looking patterns in the trees. it was and is debilitating. i feel like Truman from the truman show, except everyone around me isnt actually in on it, and im one of the only people aware that something is observing us, and we are all performing for an invisible entity, judging us. I realize on some level that it is delusion, that I just have extreme paranoia, but the feeling persists. i never feel that i am truly alone

    I live with my parents. My bedroom sits on one side of our house while I pretty much never step into the complete opposite side to do anything but laundry. It’s just my side and the middle, where the common rooms like the den and kitchen are. Whenever my parents are out of town for an extended amount of time, a part of me becomes convinced that someone has just taken up residence in the other half of the house and is watching me. I know it’s not true so I live in general peace. But at night I keep the light in the living room on until right when I go to bed, and whenever I leave my room to go to the bathroom I’m worried the imaginary person will have left their designated side of the house and intruded on mine, and that I’ll find them standing in the living room, or like… right outside my door. The paranoia’s not nearly as bad as it used to be, I’m able to brush it aside more easily. But boy do I hate having to venture into the other side of the house to do laundry, lol. The mind is a strange thing. My sister told me that when I was in college she often felt the same way when they left, so it’s not just me, thankfully.

    Not even a quarter through the video yet but i thought I'd add to the "sixth sense" thing by saying I've found one of the best ways to remain hidden while partially concealed is to partially close your eyes and or de-focus your vision from the individual you're hiding from thus preventing noticeable eye movements and more importantly preventing them spotting your eyes at all.
    I think the most easily identifiable part of a human when it's visible is the eye, everything else can be glossed over but there is absolutely no mistaking an eye for anything but an eye.

      Alternatively, humans are hardwired to spot eyes or faces where there are none. It's a known phenomenon but I forgot the name of it. It's probably part of a survival mechanism where we recognize patterns that are either a threat (predator, enemy) or an advantage (social link).

    That ending perfectly described part of my experience with derealization. Getting the feeling of being watched but it's actually a dissociation of my mind from my body. Add in social anxiety and that constant self-analysis starts to feel like it's coming from someone - or something - else. Very disconcerting.

    To throw in my two cents, I personally don't see sleep as a design flaw. Now, this obviously differs from person to person, but for ME it has always been an escape. A refreshing of the mind, if you will, from the madness of reality. My sleep and my dreams, no matter how scary or weird, keep me sane from day to day life.

    “Scopaesthesia” in my experience is fundamentally not real. I’ve been a private investigator since I was 19 and I’ve followed and documented peoples every action, person they talked to, the clothes they wore, the conversation they had for days, weeks or even months in a few cases. I’d even sit next to them at restaurants, follow them through parks, follow them from state to state, have extended conversations with them at bars and they never had the slightest inclination. If you feel like someone is watching you it’s either paranoia or someone is actually watching you and they did something stupid and gave themselves away

If you're stalking people in the city its a lot easier since you're just another face in the crowd, and people generally aren't worried about being observed or followed, especially if they aren't alone.

    one of my very favorite things about tma is the role of the audience in the story. i’m really glad that you addressed tma in this essay, all jokes aside, because it’s really fitting to your message in this essay. throughout listening to tma, i was consistently struck with uncanny guilt, especially when the fourth wall was addressed. it’s no surprise that a podcast that focuses on fear would at least acknowledge the audience at least once. that one time annabell cane said, “you have no idea who’s listening, do you?” made my skin crawl because i knew she was talking about us. if we stick around through listening to people go through extensive trauma, through fights and personal moments, through their own deaths-who’s to say we don’t become what we behold? i’ve always held the theory that the eye that the characters worship represents us, the listeners. different aspects of us. our own fears and desires projected onto their universe. and this includes even the authors of the podcast. through listening, we become the ceaseless watcher-the crown of the fears.

    Very insightful commentary about religious guilt! It's such a longstanding trope in the spiritual life, there's actually a technical term for it in Catholicism: _scrupulosity,_ the tendency to form and/or suffer from scruples, i.e. irrational and excessive moral expectations. In some ways I'm kind of bummed that so much religious horror, and specifically Catholic horror, is taken up with demon possession, half because most films get possession laughably wrong (no, Hollywood, demons can't jump from one person to another via touch; you're thinking of electricity) and half because there's so much more to be had from Catholic theology that could make really great material for horror.
    Also, re Magnus (which is awesome and you should never apologize for referencing it!), although there are dozens of episodes that are genre-busting levels of outstanding, one of my favorites (and coincidentally, one smack in the middle of season two) is Episode 60, "Observer Effect." The pure menace of two simple words typed onto a piece of paper next to a mirror -- BEHIND YOU -- absolutely gutting, 10/10.

    I had a period of a few years where I had frequent bouts of what you're calling sleep paralysis hallucinations in my early 20s. I was never paralyzed, only very sluggish one time. I almost disagree with calling them hallucinations, because you don't "see" them with your eyes. Half the time it was so dark or my vision was so hazy from being asleep I couldn't really see anything, the images that threw me out of bed were in my mind and I had to become consciously aware that my real vision and what I saw were separate images. My interpretation is that your working memory keeps a spatial visualization of the place you're sleeping and under some circumstances, you become conscious of that visualization while your brain is still dreaming and there's a bleedover effect.
    All that said, the one really spooky one I had where I was extremely sluggish when I awoke had a proper visual of a dark figure standing in my doorway that I watched fade away as the paralysis wore off. I don't know how to explain it, but it felt feminine even though it lacked identifying features. I distinctly disbelieve in all woo aside from aliens, so take this as you will: I only ever experienced these waking nightmares in the 3 years following my ufo sighting, seen fuck all in the last 6 years.

Not feeling paranoid about whos around the corner or in the dark closet, but feeling as though everyone knows my exact movements, and everything I do. To the point where it feels like there is constantly someone over my shoulder, monitoring everything I do.
    Which has lead to feeling as though I have zero privacy. But I got over that. Not because It's gotten better, but I've simply accepted this feeling as a part of life.
    It's like how those people are overly aware of God watching them, except I'm overly delusional about Everyone watching me. My dad, mom, siblings, friends, God included. Even if they aren't anywhere near me, I feel as though they are watching me, and know about everything I do behind closed doors.

Thinking back on it now and knowing he was completely correct in feeling that way is honestly so much scarier/more tense. The way you talked about it here made the podcast seem scarier than it has in a while, which is really appreciated lol!

    Isn't the entity that's always watching you your own self? We all seem to judge ourselves, our thoughts and our actions. Everything we do is wrong, or can feel wrong. A lot of people have negative thoughts or confidence problems. Even if you think you're safe and your brain isn't judging you, it's always there. Just observing you, every action, every step you take, every word you say. You're always watching yourself, even though often life would be way easier if we didn't. We'd have less stress, less worries, less problems to think about. Another perspective is that it's evolutionary. Our brain is always critical of our own actions, whether we make a good decision or a mistake. It's always observing, in order to find out what's wrong and what can be learned. That way our survival chances go up. So maybe it's a good thing, our insecurities eating away at us because we're always being observed by ourselves, just so we can learn.
    Edit: I did not know you would end the video with this theory, but it only confirms my suspicion. I'm glad that I added that it doesn't have to be bad, maybe it's for our own selves

    I don’t usually comment on videos, but I never thought Catholic guilt would end up in a video about a horror topic. The first time I ever went to confession I had a massive breakdown over the unholy thoughts my teachers told me would send me to hell. Eventually I left the church.. and I didn’t realize until I was older how important the freedom to think freely is. My mental health improved substantially. Sometimes though, I do still wonder if something somehow is listening to my thoughts and I’ll have to face repercussions for it. I love your videos! Keep up the good work!

    I've been going through your video essays and watching all of them, and I LOVE all the ones that I've seen 😭 ik full well that my anxiety disorder will not love this one (my main issues are constantly feeling like I'm being watchdd and thinking something bad will happen if I fall asleep) but genuinely I'm gonna watch it anyway bc ik it'll be worth it 🙏🙏

    I think, like a lot of things that we really shouldn't have had to learn to endure, people would eventually start to develop jokes, coping mechanisms, that weird nihilistic sort of gallows humor people get about other messed up things. My buddy and I are always goin on about "I hope the NSA is learning a lot about -whatever topic we're discussing that day-" and like. If there was a god, or the Eye was real, or aliens were there, or surveillance became a bit more mask off, we'd likely have to develop these mechanisms to cope. It's messed up, but that's usually what our brains try to do.

    I had that once while jogging late.
    Shined my phome flashlight and left immediately after seeing a big boar at the treeline.
    It was just eating apples and occasionally looking at me, but it was intimidating.

    Not knowing that you’re being watched is considerably better than knowing it in my opinion but the process of learning that you’ve been watching is worse than both.

      Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you

    I read a comment on a different RUclips video that side the reason we get the feeling of being watched is because we've already seen who was watching us in our side vision and just haven't noticed it in our front view yet.

    The one time I experienced sleep paralysis I hallucinated Garfield was watching me from the ceiling, and I was so terrified I nonsensically said "God?" before processing what I said, and bursting into laughter.

    Found my absolute new favorite channel to listen to while drawing (I love the thematic and how you work them!) and it was solidified by the fact I heard "something supernatural watching you" and I went "Omg the Eye from TMA" and it was about God, BUT THE EYE BEING BROUGHT UP 5 MINUTES LATER I'M LAUGHING
