Often, when I walk or drive under streetlights, they flicker out. It has happened with house (inside) lights 2

Question

Is it possible that someones body could cause some kind of electrical thing.... It is becoming more common and people are noticing.

Answer 1

i honestly dont know. thats weird.

Answer 2

TR,Im sorry but you are very wrong about it being an illusion, or just noticing the ones that flicker...

If im to relaxed it wont happen...but when my energy is high, excited, angry, stressed, i can walk up to every single light in my street, and they will all flicker as soon as i stand under them...soon as i walk away, they stop...if i walk back to it, it will start flickering...i have demonstrated it, to just about every person i know...they all find it amusing, including me...The higher my energy is, the more they flicker, almost blinking on and off, it looks like a lightening show...Its happened im my sisters place, when i was very angry, i was standing on the stair case, yelling at her and all the lights on the stair case actually flashed on and off, then every room i walked through, the lights flashed...she got scared and kicked me out of her house.....Its not a coincidence, and its not an illusion and its not the gas in the bulbs...I can go outside tonight, with people with me, and it will happen all the way down the street, one light at a time...I have often wondered what the connection is between myself and the lights, why it happens...Then if i get one of my friends to stand under the lights, nothing happens...they just stay normal....soon as i go stand under them, they start flashing...its got everyone intrigued.......

EDIT..street lights react alot more to indoor lights, (inside the house)..with the street lights it happens every time, but its only happened a couple of times inside, when ive been really stressed....and its not paranormal, i used to think it was, but its not....Though paranormal activity can effect electrics, but not like this...

Answer 3

Trust me.  It has nothing to do with you.   You just happen to be at the right place at the right time.

It happens to me also.  But I know I am not the cause.

Answer 4

yeah, it happens to me also.

"Oh my, am i killing the lights???"

no, it's just chance.

apparently the lights last about 5 years.

when they go out, they don't just go out.

they flicker off, then light again, and flicker off again.

so when you pass one in this state, there's a reasonably good chance you'll see it go out.

the more days it takes to replace the bulb, the more lights will be in this state.

as for house lights, i've not noticed that.

but it could be that people are going to bed.

or saving electricity when they're out of the room.

have a nice day.

Answer 5

It's called SLIders. "333" does it too. She can tell you more.

Answer 6

This is a common illusion. Streetlights very commonly flicker, or turn off briefly and turn back on. There are several reasons why this might happen -- the light is going bad, the photoelectric sensor is bad, etc. The illusion comes into play because we only notice the flickering streetlights that are close to us and don't notice the rest, hence giving the illusion that only the streetlights close to us are doing this. Same with inside house lights -- you're not going to notice this going on with other houses, only the one you're next to.

Norwalk: Generating Our Own Electricty

October 29th, 2007 · 20 Comments

Bill Krummel, as chair of the council’s Public Power Committee, is calling for a meeting the last week before the election to discuss how to get from point A, the idea to point B, doing something about it.

    The chairman of Norwalk’s Public Power Committee has invited 2nd and 3rd Taxing Districts officials to City Hall Tuesday night to share their experiences in the municipal power realm.”I want to find out more about the two districts in the city that distribute their own power and generate some power, and see if we can’t work out something that would use their base and expand it to the city,” said Councilman William M. Krummel, chairman of the committee.

    South Norwalk Electric and Water, as well as the 3rd Taxing District Electric Co., buy their electricity through the Connecticut Municipal Electrical Energy Cooperative and sell it to customers at rates lower than do their private competitors, according to district officials.

    CT Jobs George E. Leary, general manager for the 3rd Taxing District, and John M. Hiscock, general manager for SNEW, have agreed to attend Tuesday night’s meeting, participate in discussion and provide information about their electric systems, according to Krummel.

    The Public Power Committee is scheduled to meet Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. in Room 101 of City Hall, 125 East Ave.

    The Common Council formed the committee last year to explore whether the city should form a Norwalk Power Authority to combat rising electricity costs by private electric companies.

    The committee, however, has not met for months, and may lack the dollars needed to perform a feasibility study. Earlier this year, the city approved $50,000 in its 2007-08 operating budget for the study, which has yet to begin. To date, several firms have answered the city’s request-for-proposals, a first step in finding a firm to perform the actual study.

    Former Mayor Bill Collins, who raised the idea of the city pursuing municipal power, said the process has been “painfully slow” and that $100,000 will be needed to perform the feasibility study. The 3rd Taxing District has committed $25,000, making $75,000 available. The 2nd Taxing District hasn’t committed any dollars yet, according to Collins.

    Collins, however, believes that there is broad support for the city pursuing public power.

    ÃƒÂ¢Ã‚€ÂœWhen I first raised this about four years ago, there was a lot of yawning. Now, when you stop and talk to people, there’s so much support, even across party lines, for obvious reasons. People are getting killed with their electric bills,” Collins said. “It’s got public momentum behind it.”

    So far, the 3rd Taxing District has agreed to commit $25,000 toward a feasibility study, according to David L. Brown, district commission chairman. Brown some people at the 2nd Taxing District think that public power “probably wouldn’t work” for the city.

    ÃƒÂ¢Ã‚€ÂœI’m willing to spend some money to see if it can,” Brown said. “I think there’s a lot more benefits to have a citywide electric facility.”

    Michael K. Geake, a 2nd Taxing District commissioner and at-large council candidate, has pitched municipal power as a way to save the city money and put those savings toward repairing infrastructure. Geake, however, opposes put 2nd Taxing District money into a feasibility study. Asking the district to do so amounts to asking the “lowest-income taxpayers in the city to subsidize lowering the electric rates for the highest-income rate payers in the city.”

    ÃƒÂ¢Ã‚€ÂœThe 2nd Taxing District is the lowest income district in the city. It will get absolutely no benefit from the Norwalk (Public) Power Authority,” Geake said. “We have our own power. We won’t be getting a cutback.”

    Councilman Douglas E. Hempstead, a member of the Public Power Committee, said the city should not give up on exploring public power. At the same time, the idea will require more dollars than have been allocated, according to him.

    ÃƒÂ¢Ã‚€ÂœAt this particular time, unless there’s more money put into the pot, it probably won’t move forward. It’s a question of priorities and funding,” Hempstead said. “It doesn’t mean we should give up on it. (But) without the next step, we’re kind of treading water here.”

As a SNEW customer I disagree with Mr. Geake. SNEW is holding a deposit of my money and plans to pay an uncompetitive interest rate on it. They could certainly spare $50k and join in on a joint public power investigation that would benefit SNEW customers.

Answer 8

As you can see there's no consensus among YQA Paranormal folk as to the nature of this or whether there's anything to it at all.

Fact is you're as qualified as any of us to decide the answer to your question for yourself, as many of us have decided for oursleves.

We'll all take a vote on it, or humanity will someday, and whichever side gets the most votes will mean that's how things are.

Answer 9

maybe you have some kind of connection with the paranormal world and your just now discovering it

Answer 10

Deenie has posted an informative link about this phenomena.

On a more general level yes people can effect electrical items. Below is a link about the Pauli effect that many physicist (including Pauli) believed in that they have no way of explaining with traditional physics.

Answer 11

I've heard it could. You might want to mention it to a doctor.

Answer 12

Welcome to the club!  Get used to it, it happens to a lot of us.  Ever notice that it is linked to your mood!?
