Gert van der Graaf became obsessed with the singer - moving to her neighbourhood and turning his house into a shrine to her. But what causes a person to become a stalker? Criminologist David Wilson will be explaining the psychology of a stalker’s mind and sharing his own story of being stalked.

    I’ve been stalked by an ex. It’s so frightening as you can’t predict what they’ll do next. Looking out the window to check, looking around yourself if you brave to go out, and struggling to live normally is all part of having a stalker. Thank god he left me alone in the end as he moved on to newer victims.

    I was a victim of stalking by my ex partner 2019-2020 . Luckily for me, I managed to have a police officer who completely understood the crime of stalking. In Dec 2020, he pled guilty to stalking with intent to cause harm and was jailed for 18 months. I was also given a lifetime restraining order for me and my children. I'm glad this week is raising awareness to stalking as a crime as its ridiculously difficult to prove.

    It's a long time ago now (over thirty-five years) and two colleagues and I were stalked by a sacked ex-colleague. He was sacked for gross misconduct. He only stalked the female members of our team. The police were absolutely useless and their advice included changing our phone numbers, moving house, changing jobs, putting our children in different schools. It was an awful time. It did end eventually when our stalker left the country (to avoid arrest and conviction for an unrelated matter).

    I'm being stalked at the gym by a creepy guy. He acts friendly towards me but he is just always around me, watching me constantly. He knows my routine, times his own sessions around mine. He is always interrupting my workouts to talk with me about nothing, he tries to exercise near me all the time, he has begun to ask about me through other gym members, he tries to always touch me. He doesn't seem to speak to anybody else at the gym either, but seeks me out or waits for me to finish an exercise then appears out of nowhere to hold me hostage with another pointless conversation. He is always around trying to walk by and make eye contact. Even when I am wearing headphones, he'll tap me on the shoulder to interrupt me yet again. The guy is obsessed and is beyond annoying. He has even started to use the same lockers that I keep my gear in to cross paths with me and even tries to leave at the same time I do also. It isn't a coincidence when it happens over and over again.
    He is obsessed and I dread seeing him. Trust your gut always.

      ​​@@b.e.d.e.m.An update. Well I began to vary my gym routine times and days to shake him off which has helped but the guy seems to be able to come in almost every day somehow. I also began exercising with friends and noticed that if I am with other people, this stalker keeps his distance. I have also distanced myself from him, deliberately ignoring him and not making any eye contact with him whenever possible. I have told a few people about him and he seems to have sensed my change towards him. I will continue in this fashion and hope to starve him of any attention or contact whatsoever. I did catch him trying to follow me home too. He looked embarrassed to see me catch him in the act, as it was clear that he had no business in the area and then made up some embarrassing excuse as to why he was in the area. I must not drop my guard and continue to starve him of any meaningful interactions. Stalkers are selfish, creeps, only interested in getting their fix and by any means necessary. Never underestimate them, ever.

      Maybe you can tell him ONE time and firmly: "I am not comfortable with you interacting with me in any way. Leave me alone." Try and record it if possible, but then never speak to him again and be sure to document (make note) that you said that-when and where, and document every other incident after that! So then you have it for police. That's all I can think of to try.

    My abusive father stalked me and my mother after she divorced him when she discovered he was cheating. He would break into the house and stand over our beds for hours. I slept with a knife under my pillow in case he tried to hurt me since he had made it very clear early in my childhood that he was willing and able to do so. At the time I normalized it because my father was always stalkerish (following me around in the car if I left the house during one of my parent’s fights, texting me incessantly while I was in school or at work, etc.) I’m only recently starting to unravel how abnormal his behavior actually was. I got a PFA against him and moved out of the state so he no longer knows how to locate me, although he does call me on occasion with an unknown number so I can’t block it or properly report the call. I still fear the day he might try to find me again.

    Stalked and harassed online by my former friends partner. Honestly felt like police couldn't care. I reported it and they said they'd send a crime reference over within 30 minutes. They also told my partner to report it due to it affecting her. I never received my crime reference. Next day, my wife calls the police to report it and while she's still on the phone she gets the text message with her crime reference. I had never felt so low at this point. Just goes to show they didn't give a crap because I was male. I did contact them the next day and they gave me my reference, but I felt like whats the point. One of the reasons it took me 3 years to even report it.

      Sorry you are going through that. And absolutely there are a lot of problems within the legal system, when you report. Everything from weak powers, to the attitudes of individual cops.
      I hope your situation resolved. However, if it didn't, you do need to keep contacting the police - if only to register new events. You also have to record a diary yourself, of everything that happens.
      Eventually, there will be enough of a record, for them to take action. It should be a quicker process, but the reality is that it isn't. And unfortunately, victims have to be assertive with the police. You have to keep pushing, until you get a cop who understands.
      I know that feels exhausting, but you owe it to yourself. Best of luck with it all. Sorry again it's happening to you.
