There are so many cases of unexplained phenomena, and just one story can leave you in awe. One such incident will seem almost unbelievable. A 53-year-old American housewife told this story to a researcher named Hilary Evans, who has long been engaged in the study of the phenomenon of people who can influence street lights:
“For a long time, I could not believe that the street lights go out at my approach. I first drew attention to this oddity when I started to attend lectures at the college in the evenings. Several times, as soon as I turned on my street, the lights at our house went out. I did not say anything to anyone because I thought there was something wrong with the lights.
Then I began to approach the house from the other side of the street, but soon, the lights there began to go out too. I thought it was a striking coincidence. Once, for example, I was walking home with a friend and suddenly, as we were passing by, four lights went out. Once we walked away, all lights lit up again.
It’s still going on, and few believe me until they see it with their own eyes.”
Evans works with the Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena (ASSAP) and receives these kinds of stories from around the world.
From the early 90s, as a matter of fact, she has collected such testimonies and has profiled them in an ongoing project referred to as (SLIDE) or Street Light Interference Data Exchange.
She says that unlike other paranormal phenomena, this phenomenon, called Street light interference, does not depend on belief or disbelief of the people themselves. It just happens and leaves its “victim” in confusion and sometimes even fear.
Although these testimonies vary in contents, many are still being recorded and continue to baffle researchers.
Electrical engineer Bill Beaty thinks that it could be possible that people who experience this phenomenon are actually similar to “walking generators“. That is, their bodies produce a significant amount of static electricity, which can affect the operation of street lights.
Many people produce static electricity by shuffling their feet on the carpet. It’s just one of many examples. Beaty said that some people are able to produce electricity, “getting” electrons from the air with each breath.
But if breathing can make us electrically charged, why don’t the electrical appliances turn off and on around us? Beaty said that maybe some people have some kind of ‘virus’, which is not discovered yet and changes the lungs of individuals so that they begin to work as a sort of internal power station.
In addition, Beatty admitted that he understands that this theory sounds like complete nonsense.
“There are lots of very strange, incredible things. Some people manage to find the explanation for them and then get the Nobel Prize.”
And yet, some of these phenomena don’t get any feasible explanations, leaving us to wonder and speculate for a long time. Sometimes, we even just write them off as oddities. In this case, I think the jury is still out.
What do you think? Have you ever experienced this odd phenomenon or do you know someone who did? Have you noticed that street lights turn on or turn off as you approach them for no obvious reason? We would love to hear about your experiences. Please share them with us in the comment section below.

Not only do street lights go out, when I am in a state of anxiety, electronics and motors of all sorts malfunction, including: computer, car battery, washing machine, car radiator, indoor lights, store computer registers, etc. The more anxious, the worse it becomes. Also running or no water issues also occur.
The same exact thing has been happening to me for years. It started around puberty and gets worse when I'm in any heightened emotional state - good or bad. Sometimes it is completely random. Let's just say my friends and family don't let me anywhere near their expensive electronics!
Electricity Waves - Energy Travel over a Long Distance
energy wave, demonstrates that human electricity may also transmit to great distances.

Electric force can transform into different types of energy waves, such as heat, radiation, radio and micro waves; and these energy waves can travel a long distance.
A changing magnetic field will induce a changing electric field and vice-versa, the two are linked. These changing fields form electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves can travel not only through air and solid materials, but also through space.
The human nervous system can create electric energy waves that can be measured with scientific instruments. The human body produces infra-red radiation that, with night vision equipment, can be seen from miles away.
I have noticed for many years that streetlights will go off as I'm driving up to them. This particularly happens if I'm stressed. I have done some research on this and it is called street light interference phenomenon (SLIP).
This is real. It has been happening to me for years to this day, still. About 15 years ago I had multiple UFO sightings over about 2 years. After this, I started noticing street lights turning off as I approached them. I don't know whether the UFO's are connected. Maybe? I thought I had something wrong within, but thanks to the internet I have found inner peace. Now I laugh.
Me too, Laugh that is,
