Everybody’s stalking?
My sister told me a horrifying story last weekend that involved something called “organized stalking.”
My sister was riding the bus to work one day when the woman next to her struck up a conversation about the book that my sister was reading: Middlesex.
Innocuous, right? Wrong.
“That’s a book about a hermaphrodite, right?” the woman asked.
“I think so,” my sister replied. “I haven’t started reading it yet.”
“I was sexually assaulted by a hermaphrodite,” the woman said.
This is where most people would nod, become uncomfortable, and quickly put on their headphones.
But my sister– being a very nice person– probably looked concerned, prompting the woman to continue her tale.
Apparently, this woman believed herself to be the victim of organized stalking, which is a form of group intimidation—to the extreme. The hermaphrodite was only the beginning.
Victims of organized stalking believe that a group of people has set out to ruin their lives. My sister’s bus buddy thinks that American Airlines is also in on the plot—rifling through luggage for information on potential victims.
Here’s some signs to look for if you suspect that you’re being stalked in an organized fashion, courtesy of multistalkervictims.org.
Symptoms of organized stalking:
__ You find that all of your family, friendship,
and business relationships are going sour
and you have done nothing to cause this
__ You find that “accidental” blocking of you as you walk or drive about, by strangers, has increased dramatically and every day brings several “blocking” incidents. E.g., someone slips ahead of you at the bank machine or
grocery checkout, or with cars in unexpected
places in parking lots. This is about blocking
*far* more often than that which occurs in
normal life, and not the usual occasional
occurrences.
__ You find that financial transactions, purchases,
mailing things or receiving things in the mail
or by courier seem to have lots of “problems”,
more so than in the past
__ Telephones frequently have static or tones or
echoes; you have lots of “wrong number” calls
__ You find that you are having trouble staying
asleep at night, possibly waking up at exactly
the same time every night
__ Knocking on your door, but finding no one there
__ Neighbors seem to be able to “see thru walls”,
shown by sounds from them which “follow” you
__ Repeated evidence of breakins, small scale thefts,
and sabotage both at home and at work
__ Postal and or electronic mail are often delayed
or in some cases blocked
__ Postal mail from your box is strewn around and
damaged
__ Tradesmen always seem to have “trouble” with any
work you hire them to do, make a mess, are late,
overcharge, and in some cases even cause damage
to other things not originally needing work
__ You seem to attract “crazy drivers” on the road
much more often than in the past
__ Automobile repairs often result in other things
being broken which were not when the car went
in to the shop
__ You seem to have much more trouble with noisy
neighbours than before this stalking started,
such as door slamming in apartment buildings,
or oddly timed use of leaf blowers in detached
house neighbourhoods
__ You find strange synchronicities, such as a
neighbour who starts leaving for work at
EXACTLY the same time as you do, over and over,
happening frequently
__ You find kids of all ages often doing annoying
things at a much higher rate than before the
stalking started
__ You find dirt and food spots showing up in your
home after you’ve been out, and you know this
dirt was not there when you left
__ Are you in good health according to your doctor,
yet having unusual illnesses and symptoms?
Such as chronic ‘flu’ when no one else has it?
Or unquenchable itching with no rash? Or sharp
stings with no apparent explanation, especially
while in bed? Or sudden fatigue which almost
cripples you?
__ You find that since the multiple stalking
started, computers at home and work always seem
to have something wrong with them, and others
with similar machines don’t
Ok, according to this list I am most certainly being group stalked. I mean, my computer habitually goes crazy and turns itself on, kids are constantly doing annoying things around me like screaming or sneezing and I am unusually tired all the time…
But, well, that’s not wholly unusual, right? NONE of these things are wholly unusual. According to this list the whole world is most likely being stalked.
Paranoid, anyone?
Still, search for “Organized stalking” on Google and 6,700 pages come up—some seem legit, but many seem completely insane—like the one run by a woman who thinks that stalkers have trapped her cat on her bed using magnetic fields. O…k…
So, organized stalking: Is it a real form of intimidation or egomania?
But, more importantly: Should I start flying Southwest?
