A character knows that they, and any companions with them, are being watched by someone (or someones) despite no one nearby appearing to pay any attention to them. The character may credit Spider-Sense, Telepathy, knowledge of an Ancient Conspiracy, the presence of someone in a Conspicuous Trenchcoat, hidden cameras, or similar tropes, or they may break the fourth wall by making note of a Camera Trick like Eyedscreen, Rack Focus, or a Tracking Zoom. If the characters realize they're being watched via security cameras, then this trope may lead to Destroy the Security Camera. Use of this trope often results in other tropes like I Can See You, I Know You're Watching Me, Spy Speak, Trouble Entendres, Talking through Technique, and We Need a Distraction. |

The Penguins of Madagascar: The entire episode "Tangled in the Web" is a "being watched" moment. (There are webcams everywhere.) The same episode starts with a close-up of Skipper saying something to the effect of "Ever get the feelings someone is watching your every move?" The camera zooms out to show the other three penguins standing very close to him in circle, all staring at him. | |

Heralds of Valdemar: Herald-Mage Vanyel Ashkevron convinced the vrondi, a type of elusive and generally harmless minor spirit, to watch any non-Herald that used "true" magic in Valdemar until he or another Herald-Mage told them to stop. Given that Ashkevron was the Last Herald-Mage for several centuries and the spirits were nearly impossible to ignore, block out, drive off, or even properly locate... most mages either fled or cracked within a week or two of crossing the border. | |

Given that there's exactly two of them, their species and Nikita's own connection to the Norse pantheon, that's not a far-fetched conclusion. | |

In the Highlander series: Immortals always know when another Immortal is nearby. They can sense each other's Quickening. They are also indicated to be able to sense the latent Quickening of pre-immortals as well. Duncan keeping Richie around before he became immortal is strongly implied to be because of this. At least some immortals also knew by the later seasons that the Watchers were, well, watching them, as knowledge of the group started to spread. |

In Shibumi, the protagonist Nikolai Hel is capable of sensing when someone is watching him. It is not really telepathy and he isn't wholly sure how he gained that ability but he speculates it is a result of his senses being sharpened to cope with the lack of external stimulus after spending several years in solitary confinement. Considering he has several other Charles Atlas Superpowers, it's probably not as strange for him. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: The rules for Scrying spells allow the person being observed to notice the scrying sensor. As far back as AD&D 1st Edition, being spied upon by a magical crystal ball gave the target a chance to detect that they were being observed. Module Q1 Queen of the Demonweb Pits. When the PCs arrive in front of Lolth's giant spider ship, they will get a feeling of being watched from the windows (which look like giant eyes) in the head of the ship. Dungeon magazine Issue #21 adventure "Jammin'". After the Player Characters board the spelljammer ship Halcyon, they will constantly have the feeling of being watched. This is because the spectre captain of the ship is keeping them under observation continuously. Issue #57 adventure "Cloaked in Fear". If the Player Characters enter the Hargast town cemetery at night, they have the feeling of being watched. They are: the main villain of the adventure, the cloaker monster Tzisactsren, is keeping a watch on them. |

Rise of the Minisukas: Shinji has the feeling that he is being watched... and he cluelessly wonders whether Mayumi might tell him who is watching him, since she is constantly staring at him. When Toji asks Kensuke if he ever gets the feeling that they are being watched, his pal chalks that feeling up to being watched by the bodyguards monitoring their friend Shinji from a distance. Then he greets one of them, who greets back. |

Pretty much the main plot point of Chaos;Head. Almost every time something weird happens, or that the point of view character(s) sense that they are being watched, someone or something will say or read "Sono me dare no me?", which roughly translates to "Whose eyes are those eyes?" This phrase was first used by Nishijou Takumi, as he kept having paranoid delusions (among others) that he's being watched. Then he finds a patent showing how to read minds from satelites in outer space, and the fourth New Gen case has this exact phrase written in blood, which sends the phrase into in-universe Memetic Mutation. Whose eyes indeed. | |

Turns out the crew was killed by one of their own in a psychotic breakdown over her brain-dead boyfriend, and she attacks Shepard and co. when they pull the plug on him. Ashley says as much if she's brought to Ilos, and she's not talking about the geth swarming the place. A few minutes later, it turns out the VI Vigil was listening in on them. |

In Nebula, the sense everyone gets that there's something out in the dark watching them helps make an already tense situation (Sun's recent Hair-Trigger Temper and Thousand-Yard Stare, Jupiter's increasing lack of subtlety in his plans to take over the solar system, Earth Hearing Voices that no one else does) worse. The fact that something really is watching them doesn't make it any better. | |

For most of Season 1 of The Magnus Archives, Jon is a clear Agent Scully - he claims that nearly every statement he reads is bogus, even when he's presented with undeniable evidence to the contrary. In the season 1 finale, Martin confronts him, asking why he insists all the stories are fake when they're obviously real... and Jon confesses that he actually believes all of them. He's just been feigning skepticism because he feels like something has been watching him read statements, and that whatever is watching him will get very angry if he admits that the statements are credible. He's completely right. The Magnus Institute is a cult that serves the physical manifestation of the fear of being watched, and by reading statements, Jon has actually been feeding it. | |

Warhammer 40,000: In Dan Abnett's Gaunt's Ghosts novel Sabbat Martyr, Baen says this to Varl. He's right, because Pater Sin and his psyker-Creepy Children are walking between them while psyk-cloaked. In Traitor General, the scouts on Gereon know they're being tracked just before the Nihtgane show themselves. In The Armour of Contempt Mkoll and Eszrah recognise that there's someone out there watching them who the latter gets to see and is strongly implied to be MkVenner, while Vadim and Caffran have a similar sentiment at their part of Gereon. In one of the Eisenhorn short stories by Dan Abnett, a veteran soldier twice has this feeling, which is good enough to make Eisenhorn ready weapons and get into cover. Good job really, as they get fired on almost immediately. |

Then it suddenly opens and a Marine guard is on the other side and he goes down to see if there is anyone there, but he finds nothing.

In the Star Trek: The Animated Series episode "Beyond the Farthest Star", while the Enterprise away team is on board the alien ship, Dr. McCoy says being on the ship gives him the creeps and that he feels like something's watching them. He's right: there's an intangible alien being on the ship that's trying to return to the Enterprise with the team. | |

An inversion of sorts takes place in The Warriors when Mercy tells the gang that she's noticed they're being watched. She's then informed that the gang knew all along and, thanks to her, their enemies now know they've been spotted. | |

Doctor Arcana, in The Cabinets Of Doctor Arcana, makes it very obvious that he's watching the protagonist throughout the entire game and occasionally comments on things they do. The trope comes in because the protagonist is completely alone in the manor, and the doctor's involvement is supernatural. | |

She overhears one of the the lab tech say they'd get better results for Satomi's field tests with live data, rather than simulations. Damian doesn't even bother looking over his shoulder, he simply smirks and tells him to start with the girl that was spying on them, from the doorway. | |

Cole could sense nearby alien fugitives in Tracker (2001), though lodestone and being on Earth a while dulled the sense somewhat. It’s also implied that Cirronians are drawn to other Cirronians, which is why he and Mel, who was revealed as a Half-Human Hybrid, were drawn to each other when Cole first came to Earth. | |

At the start of the series she's not comfortable enough in her powers and her companions keep telling her It's Probably Nothing, but as the books go on she and they start trusting this sense more. | |

While they are having lunch in a community kitchen crowded with hundreds of people, Elijah Baley is informed by his robot partner Daneel Olivaw not only that they're being watched, but that several of the people doing so took part in an anti-robot demonstration that they broke up the day before. Of course as a robot he has perfect recall of their faces and can pick them out of the crowd easily. | |
