The feeling of being watched or scrutinized can be deeply unsettling, often dismissed as paranoia. However, in some cases, that feeling is grounded in a disturbing reality: you are the subject of an investigation. Whether it’s by law enforcement, a private investigator hired by a spouse or employer, or an insurance company, investigations are often designed to be covert. The goal is to gather information without alerting the subject. Recognizing the subtle signs is your first line of defense. If you notice several of these indicators, it may be time to consider the possibility that you are being investigated.
