No. I think the only thing that could possibly be considered to be 'lurking on' someone would be something like a louse/nit, as that is the only thing that could physically be 'on' you.

The answers above are both correct. You could also use lurking with a location.
He was lurking in my driveway when I came home.
He was lurking around the corner.
While we all talked at the party, he lurked in a corner.

I think "lurking NEAR somebody" or "lurking AROUND somebody" would make more sense :-) Keep up the good work!

It's not grammatically correct, but it sounds like great slang so thanks, I am definitely going to be using this excellent turn of phrase :)
In common usage "lurking" is not a verb that is used to describe something happening to somebody. We use "lurking" more to describe a way someone is acting. The usual connotation is "doing something suspicious" .
"He was lurking around. I think he was looking at me."
