Followup on creepy boss guy following me around
This was my original question with the followup below:
My boss is more then 50yrs old and lives with his parents. He does not have a lot of social skills. I have caught him following me around the office and looking at what I am doing, like what mail I put in the outbox or who am I talking with or where I am going in general. His behavior is creepying me out. I can do my job without even talking or speaking with him for weeks and have tried to stay out of his way to see what would happen and it seems this makes his behavior worsen. I find it creepy to come out of the women's restroom to find him leaning against the wall near the men's waiting for me. He then joins me and walks back with me into the office. He watches my emails through the network server (only mine as he moved my and his email to a separate server from everyone else) and watches the websites I go onto and programs I access.
What is the best way to handle this guy? If I tell him to back off, he tells me I am paranoid. And yet this continues.
Follow-up: I went through the official HR channels and filed a complaint. His answer to all of the situations were all 'I have no recollection of this event.' The result has been that it is a he-said, she-said situation and they are backing him as I have no witnesses. At this time, they are also keeping him as my supervisor and as you can imagine he is quite happy with a cocky attitude now.
I am so on edge, I can't sleep through the night and of course, I am desperately looking for a new job. But, in the mean time, he is being shoved down my throat with the 'you have to be able to work together' explanation. I have not at all let this effect my work, which is highly regarded.
But, I really need help in figuring out the best way to handle this as I have really desperate thoughts running through my head and during all this time.
Any advice?

Start keeping a journal. Everytime he does something creepy, record it in that journal (please don't keep the journal on your computer.. he could find that. Do a hand written thing, secretly as possible)... you can even ask other people you trust to write down the things they observe and sign and date it. Keep compiling the information. In a couple of more months, file another complaint.Tell them you have been keeping a personal record. See what the outcome is. If they ignore you again, keep doing the same things and file again. You need to be able to communicate to the higher-ups that you are scared and feel threatened. If HR does not handle it, go directly to your boss' boss with a written letter of complaint. Good luck.

Your boss is harassing you, You need to report it. There is a fine line against professionalism and plain harassment. Contact the branch manager, Every boss has a boss and you need to take this to the next level. Your bosses actions can very well get him fired, You've told him to back off he didn't listen therefore he has had his warning.
File a complaint.
