How can one feel that they’re being observed or followed?

Question

It’s pretty common in movies, that kind of “sixth sense” where people can feel a presence around them, that may be observing or following them.
It actually happened to me in real life a couple times, where I was right about that guess.
Do humans have a “sixth sense” in real life, is it just a placebo or are we just really lucky figuring it out?

I wonder if the research into mirror cells could provide some insight into that? [evidence for Mirror systems in emotions](Www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2865077/)
