I know of no controlled, double-blind, randomized, scientific study has shown any statistically significant evidence that anyone can sense when other people are looking at them. And people I know, who do claim the ability exists, invariably demonstrate a lack of understanding of probability and statistics, confirmation/selection bias, and numerous other investigative methodologies.

Yes, I didn't consider animals. They do seem to have a higher sense of some sort.
I'd need to look at the research and data. But, when I visit this thread I'm like "yes" one time and the "possibly" the other.

I wouldn't discount it. Mind you, I don't discount much.

If I had go for a definite yes or no. I'd go for yes.
