Always feel like somebody's watching you? Well, it turns out that's actually true in P.T., one of the scariest tech demos of all time.

If you've still got the illustrious P.T. on your PlayStation 4 and you play it often, you might have some ideas on what Lisa, the game's terrifying female enemy, is doing when she's out of frame.

As YouTuber Lance McDonald has uncovered, apparently exactly what you think she is: she's following your every movement.

"In P.T., it's common to hear noises as if Lisa is right behind you, or see weird shadows moving around in front of you, but when you turn around, there's nothing there. I hacked the game to allow the player to see behind them without actually turning around and..." McDonald tweeted alongside an image of Lisa hovering behind the player, proving that she's always right behind you, in fact attaching to the player's back after you pick up the flashlight.

She actually attaches to the player's back as soon as you get the flashlight, here, I demonstrate how you can see some strange shadows. I then lock the camera in place and walk forward, showing how she's always there... following you... pic.twitter.com/zarhwjNmZz

Creepy, right? Yeah, it turns out just never really shake Lisa, which makes P.T. even scarier, as if it weren't already terrifying in the first place. 

For context: after months of trying, I’ve finally patched P.T. to get manual control of the camera and get a look at some of the weird stuff that happens just outside of the players’ view. I’m excited to show you weird, new things from a lost game. https://t.co/rsI336zIzS

McDonald's camera hacks have already lead to some very bizarre content, and we can't wait to see what else is in store. It looks like he's going to have a blast getting to the bottom of things. It looks like that means lots more of weirdo Lisa and her constant following you. What other P.T. secrets are we still in the dark about?
