Sorry for the delay getting back to you mightymoose. In order to give you an answer to this I feel it necessary to give you an overview of gang stalking before attempting to explain my own personal experiences of harassment. (this was taken from the website fightgangstalking.com). This website is legitimate, it has a lot of good information and if you have doubts about gang stalking from reading my reply, I suggest you visit this website. There are thousands of people that are experiencing this, and the cases of it appear to be growing.
Gang stalking (also known as "organized stalking") is covert organized surveillance and harassment of a targeted individual by multiple perpetrators. The goal is to systematically isolate and harass the victim using tactics whose cumulative effects amount to psychological torture.
Organized stalking of a targeted individual employs methods used in counterintelligence operations – such as electronic and human surveillance, slander, disinformation, and a variety of intensive long-term psychological operations ("psyops") methods.
The Stasi – communist East Germany's infamous secret police agency – monitored and terrorized citizens with the same tactics. They referred to the process of destroying targeted individuals as "zersetzung" which translates as "decomposition" or "corrosion."
The most fundamental explanation for the low-profile of gang stalking is that counterintelligence operations – by definition – are performed covertly. The FBI's original version of operation COINTELPRO remained undetected by the public until stolen secret documents were leaked to the press.
Security contractors are required to have active security clearance in addition to counterintelligence training. For example, job ads posted by security-intelligence contractors for "surveillance role players" (domestic spies) all require an active security clearance and counterintelligence training.
Tactics Which Create Minimal Evidence.
Subversion tactics used by perpetrators include many tactics from the original version of Cointelpro, and some which were further refined by East Germany's Stasi. For the most part, the tactics are all chosen because they are known to be effective forms of "no-touch torture." The idea is to destroy the victim psychologically and socially and financially by forms of criminal harassment which create minimal objective evidence from the perspective of witnesses and courts.
Victims' accounts tend to be dismissed since their experiences sound like commonplace occurrences – because that is indeed what they are: strangers who are rude, neighbors that are noisy, businesses which deliver bad service, drivers who cut-off the victim in traffic, pedestrians who bump them as they walk by, etc. These are things which happen to everyone. But for gang stalking victims, these things happen constantly – which becomes a form of real psychological torture, the intensity of which must be experienced to comprehend.
Methods used against targets.
a) Classical conditioning.
First the target must get sensitized to specific sounds, colors, patterns, or actions. such as certain Colors, by associating them with traumatic events. For example, a perpetrator driving a red car drives by the targeted individual and throws things at the Targeted Individual. These patterns are repeated making the target weary of red cars. For me, everywhere I go there are people that look at me then reach for their cell phones and hit a button. This would happen with people in cars surrounding my car, people walking past me, everywhere I went. Sometimes they will even take pictures of me.
b)24/7 Surveillance
This will involve following the target everywhere they go. For me it started when I was leaving my former employer's at the end of a day. A motorcyclist was waiting there and followed me all the way home (35 minute drive). After that, I noticed I was being followed by cars everywhere I went. I would try turning down different streets, and the cars would follow. Now whenever I leave I am stalked constantly by cars with out of state plates. The cars with those plates follow close behind, move in close to the side of my car partially in my lane, and may cut me off. If I just stop my car on a street or even a highway, they will stop right behind me and stay there instead of going around me.
c) Isolation of target.
This is done by recruiting neighbors, friends, and family members and via slander campaigns, and lies. Usually by telling them the target is under investigation.
d) Noise and mimicking campaigns.
Disrupting the targets life, sleep with loud power tools, construction, stereos, doors slamming, etc. Talking in public about private things in the targets life. Mimicking actions of the target. Basically letting the target know that they are in the targets life. Daily interferences, nothing that would be too overt to the untrained eye, but psychologically degrading and damaging to the target over time.
e) Every day life breaks and street theater.
Flat tires, putting dirt on targets property or throwing dead animals in their yard. Mass strangers doing things in public to annoy the target. These strangers might get text messaged to be at a specific time and place, and perform a specific action. If might seem harmless to these strangers, but it could be causing great psychological trauma for the target. Example. Blocking targets path, getting ahead of them in line, cutting or boxing them in on the road, saying or doing things to elicit a response from targets. Etc.
I know there's a lot of information here, but because the perpetrators require the actions to be covert, it is difficult to explain what this is like for a targeted individual.
