I just recently found out that this type of harassment is called gang stalking, after several years of confusion. The fact that I am not the only one experiencing this phenomenon is both reassuring and deeply disturbing. Apparently anyone can become a Targeted Individual or TI.

People who have experienced this form of stalking report similar incidents, such as being followed, being exposed to repeated stimuli. The repeated stimuli is usually something which occurs frequently in life, and in my case it includes coughing, beeping, having cars drive up and down your street and having neighbors act like complete weirdos, in addition to many other things. These stimuli are designed to get your attention and make you realized you are being watched.
Long before your stalkers let you in on their secret, a slander campaign was being spread about you. The whole idea of this perfect crime is to make you appear crazy to the community. Typically anyone you tell won’t believe you, because it is designed to look like mental illness. The style of tactics used depends somewhat on location and the individual targeted. Each city has its own style.
