Thanks for the links. I’ve seen the first.
I have much evidence that people know when they are being stared at.
What exactly do you mean with “evidence” and with “stared at”?
Various events over many years by many different people.
Did you run your own experiments? If so what was your setup?
Nah, just observed this effect. Also, books written by Jason Bourne types advise not to look at your quarry or your quarry will find you. I guess you’re supposed to use peripheral vision.
What statistical evidence do you have for ESP?
A video by a stats woman who was involved with the experiments. The results were significant beyond 0.05 but the people who ran the experiment didn’t believe the results even though they ran the thing. Of course I lost that link a long time ago.
The subject draw a complex picture that was shown in another room but somehow left out a shack in the foreground. The testers made jokes about this shack but the rest of the picture was pretty much complete.
Willing to place a bet that this will not pan out in a controlled setting.
If we take a person into our attention that stands right in front of us, our breathing rhythm tries to sync with the other person. We hear the breathing patterns of people around us, and react to them.
While experimenting around with my body I have managed in the past to accidently made a person sitting next to me felt stared at, without my eyes being focused on them. The person couldn’t really explain why they felt that way.
If you care about extra sensorial perception you would need to eliminate audio perception. Likely also also olfactory cues because the would be the next channel where the information might be communicated.

Videos in general are not strong evidence. If you want to be taken seriously on LW, then need to refer to the actual scientific papers and understand what they say.
Scientific papers still often don’t replicate and a single paper with p>0.05 is certainly not enough to establish ESP, but at least that’s a start.
Of course I lost that link a long time ago.
Why “of course”? Get Evernote and actually take note if you read interesting things and safe the links.
