Sharing their demons on the web
For years they lived in solitary terror of the light beams that caused searing headaches, the technology that took control of their minds and bodies. They feared the stalkers, people whose voices shouted from the walls or screamed in their heads.

When people who believe such things reported them to the police, doctors or family, they said they were often told they were crazy. Sometimes they were medicated or locked in hospital wards, or fired from jobs and isolated from the outside world. But when they found one another on the internet, everything changed.

It's real and is simply pathetic
This is real. Sadly the dialogue has been hijacked my some genuinely mentally ill people with rot about electronic harrassment, mind control and, God help us, lizard people or Illuminati. In my case it was not some mass conspiracy because I have the secret to the Holy Grail etc. I simply refused to have a relationship with a man who bugged my house, then got his mates to follow me around and talk about the goings on in my home, how much he loved me etc. So a mentally ill stalker with technology.

gangstalking
It would be commendable if Vaughan Bell would further research the phenomenon of Gang Stalking. Many people who are being gang stalked are well educated have done a considerable amount of research regarding these stalking groups. Most do not believe in aliens and mind control but are well aware of the devastating effect of years of targeted harassment can have on a person’s life. Technology has brought the sick game of stalking to a new level that was not possible 15 years ago. It’s sad that people who are having their reputations and lives ruined by these criminals. These harassment groups claim to be operating official investigations even though no warrants or criminal charges have been brought against the targeted individual. They will often intimidate and threaten anyone who questions their authority. An investigation into these groups by an unbiased party would be welcome.

Vaughan Bell has never studied Gang Stalking
Just a quick update on the New York Times article. I have just spoken to Vaughan Bell, one of the key psychologists mentioned in the article and he was kind enough to clarify that he has never studied Gang Stalking. The research that he did, fully focuses on Mind Control sites. He has never studied Gang Stalking or the Gang Stalking World website more specifically. I think one of the things that Sarah Kershaw did in the article, that many people do is that she lumped in Gang Stalking, Electronic Harassment, and Mind Control, all together. http://gangstalkingworld.com/Forum/YaBB.pl?num=1226834804
