I have interacted with them irl and on the internet. The first one I ever knew (or knew of) was my ex-sister-in-law. She was convinced that the government, the Pepsi company, and her ex husband were conspiring to make her kill herself by driving her crazy and/or kill her directly with poison.
She believed that every helicopter or airplane was tracking her, as was every car or truck—particularly any deliver truck. She believed that the Pepsi company was poisoning their drinks but, of course, only the ones she bought.
Ok, so why did she buy them? Why didn't she switch to Coke? Or stop drinking pop altogether? Well, it's because she found a fool-proof method to get rid of the poison: she drank it and then vomited it back up and then drank it again.
It got so bad that she moved into a cabin on a mountain with their daughter that had no plumbing and no electricity. There was an outhouse, but they never used it because the government/Pepsi/her ex could have traced them with their feces and urine. They urinated in jars and defecated out in the woods.
Someone finally figured out where they were and the cops and child protective services were called. When they got there, they discovered that not only was she drinking regurgitated Pepsi, but she was making her daughter drink them, too. The daughter was about four years old and she (crazy mom) had filled her head with all of this wacky conspiracy nonsense.
When the cops were interviewing her, they asked her if what the daughter said was true. That is, is she drinking regurgitated pop and forcing her daughter to drink it also? She said, "Of course not!" and then immediately took a swig of the Pepsi she was holding, vomited back into the can, and then drank it. When they went into the cabin, they discovered the cupboards filled with urine-filled jars and the fridge filled with cans and bottles of regurgitated PepsiCo soft drinks.
Curiously, after they put her on anti-psychotic meds, the government, PepsiCo, and her ex started leaving her alone.
Now, I thought that she was just paranoid, delusional nut. I had no idea that there are networks of people with the same or similar beliefs out there who call themselves Targeted Individuals.
The T.I.s I've talked to only are absolutely impervious to reason, as you might imagine. Every word you say to them (whether a refutation of their bizarre claims or a request for evidence) is, to them, proof that you're in on it. You are one of the conspirators or you work for the conspirators. In their lingo, you are a perp.
If you want to be simultaneously saddened and entertained go to YouTube and search for "gangstalker confronted." These are videos of TIs confronting every day, ordinary people and accusing them of being agents (gangstalkers, in their lingo) of the nefarious conspirators who mean them harm. What you will immediately notice is that any reaction of the person being confronted is taken as being proof that they are guilty of gangstalking.
Do they laugh it off? Guilty! Do they play along, thinking they must be on a hidden camera TV show? Guilty! Do they ignore the TI? Guilty! Do they get angry? Guilty! All reactions are taken as being proof of the alleged fact that it is a gangstalker they are confronting.
Ironically, I was once stalked by the gangstalkers. I joined one of their groups on Facebook and I posted a poll asking them if they thought it was possible—just possible—that at least some self-described Targeted Individuals are delusional and/or paranoid and/or pathologically narcissistic. Not only did the vast majority claim that it wasn't possible but they accused me of being a perp and began a campaign of sending me hateful private messages and putting me on blast (that is to say, posting my personal information on Facebook in multiple places telling lies about me). This harassment went on for several weeks and close to 100 TIs were involved in it.
