Gang stalking

For bullying or harassment of an individual by a group, see Mobbing.
For real-world stalking by a group of people, see Stalking § Stalking by groups.

Gang stalking or group-stalking is a set of persecutory beliefs in which those affected believe they are being followed, stalked, and harassed by a large number of people.[1] The term is associated with the "targeted individual" ("T.I.") virtual community formed by like-minded individuals who claim their lives are disrupted from being stalked by organized groups intent on causing them harm.[2][3]
