The Sanity Hunters by Maxine Harris Gangstalking is a umbrella term describing a series of techniques utilized by a group to instill mental instability within a victim with the intent to discredit, sabotage, harass, extort and even drive a victim to suicide. A victim of gangstalking can have their reputation, credibility, careers, relationships and entire life put into ruins.Techniques such as mind games, perception manipulation, organized stalking, covert harassment, constant surveillance and possibly electronic harassment are used to push a victim to mental instability.Proving one's targeting can be very challenging, and there is very little law enforcement support, which allows gangstalking to be extremely effective.
