Why do I feel an unusual sensation when someone is staring at me in my back?
Why does feel like either someone is tapping you in your back or we have to turn back with a weird feeling when someone is looking at you behind you? Has anybody ever felt like that?

yep-i think its a "6th sense" kinda thing...But wouldn't you rather know someone is there instead of them sneaking around?

Test after test has been conducted on this issue and noone has ever demonstrated a relaible ability to know when someone is staring at them behind their backs. We all sometimes FEEL as if people are staring at us. And, often, if we turn around we will meet someone's eyes. However in many instances they looked up because their perepheral vision caught the movement of you turning to look.
The tendency to often feel as if people are staring at you behind your back is a symptom of "Paranoia".

It's just due to our 6th sense. Just like the dogs and other animals that sense the danger around it by its smelling sense, we are also having the precogniting sense of danger or other things by the power of our brain and soul.
Try staring others from their back.They will definitely turn and see u.It is due to the passing of your mind waves through the waves widely spreaded in the universe and your waves affect their mind waves and make them turn back

In fact I read that because of this sixth sense police are trained not to stare at the guy's head when they are trailing someone.

yea, it's your "sixth sense." everyone has it, although some are more sensitive to it than others.
