I tried my first experiment at stalking people. West Edmonton Mall seemed a great place to try it. I began by just trying to follow the person in frog of me and staying in his “blind spot”. Close behind the person seems best. But some had a sense that I was there. I must have been too loud or obvious.

Certainly, people walking a mall would have a “stranger radar” on. I definitely need to work on being invisible. I could stay further back. It did work if the person was not a head swivler. Even if they liked to window shop I could stay unseen by being slightly off to the side away from the windows. Others were like deer and constantlyobed their gaze around. I couldn’t follow them long.
I was surprised when I realized I was being followed and didn’t know it. This happened when I peeked in an angle window or the person suddenly ducked into a store. I caught myself wondering how they materialized. nnSo, I definitely need more practice with “owl eyes”, “deer ears” and stealth. But it was a fun start.
