In 1993 while living in an apartment voices where heard, doors continuously slamming, apparent references over radio both DJ and songs. Third person clips that appeared to be directed at me where mentioned by radio station disc jockeys and television news and talk show jokes. People at my job would talk about things I had said; they would repeat things that I had said over the phone to other people. A bizarre pseudo dating game was discussed by people saying things to each other about me in third person like, "she is coming tonight". My boss at Pony Express Courier came out saying things like, "They're sending 5 big guys over, he better meet her tonight". Even my friends denied every aspect of knowing or contributing to third party discussions in a very condescending way. Neighbors would yell obscenities at the house such as "fuck you asshole", or "he thinks they're coming for him, that's ridiculous". Often words where heard where people never existed.

Initial contact appeared to be projected from a speaker within the house and subsequently dashboard of the car. Initial verbal contact began with John, an FBI agent he claimed, accompanied by a man and women who said they worked for a newspaper. Passing trucks would appear to talk to me by appearing to downshift or up shift saying, "fuck you". Verbal commands where always contradictory, very precise and demeaning. While driving around the country they would say "you pick a direction and we tell you to go the other way". After weeks the conversation degraded to being called a piece of shit, asshole, wimp, creep, pervert, jerk, repeatedly, 100's of times per day. Soon after initiation they stated they were the: FBI, Police, Channel 11, a radio station, and a host of TV celebrities among others.

In the first year conversation was often projected from my self-thought/self-talk to others around me; no mental check and balance. Often there was a transmission to others around me but which I was excluded from or was heard globally by everyone including me. With women alone they would say, he's thinking about rape; with men, he's gay. Women's eyes would water while men would cringe. A huffing sound, like a barrel stove, was sometimes heard in large crowded public areas that seemed to amuse people around me. Sounds near large inductive electric motors would appear amplified in the ear. Also on trains or near ductwork with moving air. Teenagers walking down the street would say, "better call the cock patrol" or "here comes OLE slurpy", or "fuck him". People around me would sometimes repeat what the voice said, or respond to an opinion they stated in short staccato verbiage. Red faces and smirks with quiet conversation where the norm statewide throughout the first year, later giving way to complete disgust. Word substitution often occurs while engaged in conversation from one on one conversation with people, distorting the meaning.. Remote three-space projection of words from areas where people may be, appearing as remarks spoken or yelled.

Disparaging remarks induced in the auditory system from people walking by such as "fuck you" or "asshole", when they actually said nothing. Constant conversation was perpetually distracting while trying to work. The people had shifted from saying derogatory remarks to passive body language of, we know who you are and we don't like you.

I begin fighting by getting a computer and getting on the net and learning that I am not alone. The verbal abuse has lessened. During exercise they would say, "we're giving you heart failure", "feel that pain", "we can make you stop", "put your arm around that girl".
