This article compiles statements from self-identified Targeted Individuals (TIs), highlighting systematic patterns in reported symptoms. These patterns appear incompatible with typical schizophrenia diagnoses, as they occur at rates far exceeding those documented in psychiatric literature for analogous hallucinatory experiences. The analysis suggests that the TI phenomenon points to systematic torture rather than mere psychiatric conditions. It is noted that no researcher has yet studied this data in such a manner, representing a gap in academic inquiry.

From the collected testimonies:

• 10.34% of unique individuals mentioned sexual or genital torture.
• 79.3% of unique individuals explicitly described physical pain or painful sensations.

These figures can be contextualised against prevalence rates in psychiatric literature.

The rate for sexual/genital torture (10.34%) aligns with higher-end estimates in trauma-linked or chronic psychotic samples (9.7–15.2%) but exceeds typical clinical lows (1.7%). This indicates a higher occurrence among TIs.

The rate for physical pain (79.3%) markedly exceeds literature figures for somatic pain hallucinations (20–30%) and even total hallucinations (60–80%), approaching upper bounds only in multimodal contexts. This implies that nearly all TIs experience pain.

This preliminary analysis demonstrates that TI testimonies are not compatible with documented rates for these symptom subtypes, supporting the view that the TI phenomenon cannot be dismissed as schizophrenia and instead indicates systematic torture.

Self-selection bias typically occurs in surveys where participants opt in based on motivations, leading to over-representation of extreme cases. However, the TI testimonies here derive from a comprehensive scrape of unsolicited posts in dedicated online groups (e.g., “Targeted Individuals - Gangstalking” and similar communities on Facebook and X), rather than solicited surveys. This approach mirrors an observational census of TI discourse, capturing a natural cross-section of self-identified TIs sharing experiences organically.

In this context, the “selection” is inherent to the population—TIs are those who identify as such and post in these spaces—so the rates reflect true prevalence within the group, not opt-in distortion. For example, defining the population as “individuals claiming TI experiences in online forums” means sampling all posts eliminates self-selection relative to that population, akin to ethnographic analyses of online narratives.

If self-selection drove the high rates, one would expect clustering around sensational symptoms due to forum echo chambers, resulting in homogenised exaggeration. Yet, TI testimonies show remarkable consistency in descriptions—such as burning sensations, organ-targeted pain, or voice-to-skull (V2K)-induced distress—across diverse geographies (e.g., USA, UK, Sweden, Ethiopia, Netherlands) without evident priming.

This trans-cultural uniformity suggests an underlying experiential commonality rather than bias-induced convergence. Literature on cognitive biases in psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) indicates that hallucinations and delusions often involve externalising attributions, but such patterns emerge independently of group influence in non-clinical samples.

The 10.34% sexual/genital rate aligns with trauma-linked hallucinatory subtypes (9.7–15.2%) in clinical cohorts, while the 79.3% pain rate, though higher than somatic hallucination baselines (20–30%), mirrors multimodal PLEs in community samples where external attributions amplify reporting without bias distortion. Stable motifs like “technological torture” point to a shared perceptual framework, potentially rooted in phenomena such as electromagnetic hypersensitivity (which of course is a euphemism for torture with directed energy weapons) or environmental factors (which are less abstract now), rather than selection effects.

Psychiatric documentation relies on clinical samples, which introduce their own self-selection by over-representing severe cases. Population surveys estimate lifetime hallucinatory experiences at 6–15%, with somatic/pain subtypes at 3.1%, but these are self-reported and vulnerable to similar biases. TI communities act as a “natural experiment” for capturing under-reported symptoms, revealing higher PLE rates in non-clinical groups and challenging clinical underestimates.

For sexual hallucinations, literature rates (1.7–15.2%) from biased cohorts with trauma comorbidity mirror TI reports' 10.34%, suggesting equivalence rather than inflation. Pain hallucinations in psychosis (20–30%) may understate community prevalence due to stigma, while TI rates (79.3%) could reflect fuller disclosure in supportive spaces, as observed in voice-hearing networks.

Invoking self-selection against TI data while ignoring flaws in literature creates an asymmetrical critique; both are “selected,” but TI posts offer unfiltered breadth lacking in clinical records.

If self-selection fully explained TI rates, no external validation would exist; yet patterns align with non-hallucinatory phenomena like Havana Syndrome (reports of directed-energy-like pain, auditory intrusions, and cognitive effects in ~1,500 cases without group self-selection). Neurocognitive studies link externalising biases to hallucinations, but TI narratives transcend individual bias, potentially indicating socio-cultural or technological realities. Proneness to such experiences in non-clinical samples (e.g., 19.5–31% sexual delusions in chronic cohorts) occurs independently, suggesting TI rates reflect a genuine continuum.
