Are you asking whether or not it's possible that some god is watching you pee, or that aliens are watching you poop...or?
As for the notion making your mind race...that probably has more to do with our deep seated paranoia - we're always wondering/worried that someone or something is watching us - at least on some level. It;s one of the reasons we project conceptual "entities"onto forces, or imagine that there is some equivalence between them..IE, that they both "watch" - as we watch. Truth of the matter, is that gravity isn't watching me... and neither are a crushing majority of known entities.
The ones I don't like are the ones who watch you spank the monkey. That's just not right.
