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.

My mother could not wear a wrist watch as something in her body would make it go fast and the time was never right. I even gave her a necklace with a watch on the end but the same thing happened,it went fast.
Was it a quartz watch or an automatic?
So at first I thought it may be a coincidence thinking it was something to do with sensors or something, only because it would happen within a certain distance of approaching. Here the last couple of years though I have walked a lot, and when you see a particular light go off every time you walk by it, you wonder. I would walk down two different streets and kept a visual on two particular lights some distance between them. Cars would pass, others would pass on the same path, and these lights would stay lit until I would walk by either way within the same approach, and would just turn off. This happened over 20 times at least, and only under deep focus of my path and knowing that it happened before it just started happening a lot more in different places. Enough to where a couple of friends I had told this two have experienced it with me ....Never felt like a special power, but more of a connection, I have worked in electrical field quite a bit, so a lot of electricity has passed through my body...also a lot of times lights brighten after I have walked in a room that was dim and I am straining my vision to see, lights will suddenly brighten for a brief moment....
Yes! This has happened to me too! The street lights go out when I get within a certain distance of proximity as well as the lights getting brighter suddenly too.
I have come up with a name for this phenomenon.
"Blue tooth minded". I have had similar experiences. The first time I noticed my extremely forceful energy was years ago. I walked into a room and a picture fell from the wall and a osculating fan's engine seized up. I didn't look into it too closely. Noted as a strange coincidence. I even question the memory to this day. More recently I noticed that on several occasions while listening to music on a cell phone with speakers connected via blue tooth skip songs. Randomly and only in a group setting. I have no control over this phenomenon and am unaware if it was I or another, or power in numbers
IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE WHO HAS EXPERIENCED (Personally or Professionally) & UNDERSTANDS THE FOLLOWING. ISN'T TOTAL B.S. &/OR MENTALLY UNSOUND WHO HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH THE FOLLOWING & CAN HELP???
I have experienced many if not most definable & witnessed abilities that describe what is known as a PK (Psychokinetic) Agent. While most are seeded sub-consciously & when physically manifested are extremely powerful (It is a terrible thing to be afraid of one's own power).
As well; many are consciously active abilities w/ an undeveloped active & inactive switch, in which these abilities manifest to a greater or lesser degree, either semi-controlled -OR- @ random & w/varied range in Intensity/Magnitude, Range& Distance, but most are always on even if slightly... (due to a near fatal Event) My training was interrupted as I was being taught control these gifts & events for my own well being & the well being of others.
As in the past; one ability in particular has manifested most times defensively; effecting real world physical reality, & offensively it has manifested with tremendously destructive effects, & is the most unstable & random of the broad array of abilities exhibited.
PLEASE...ONLY CONTACT IF YOU KNOW THE RANGE OF ABILITIES A PK AGENT CAN POSSESS. | (HAVE HAD EVENTS PERSONALLY/ -OR- EXPERIENCE w/THOSE ABILITIES PROFESSIONALLY} & ARE SURE YOU CAN ADVISE!

This is the first time I have looked it up because I am scared it was something like a spirit and I didnt want to look into it if its evil. sound weird but I would rather not no if it is. It has happened to me for about 10 years that I have paid attention to. It does it so much that everyone I have been around a few times has seen it but they say they have only saw it happen when there with me. I no its not a normal thing but am scared to look in to it and the only reason I did is because it has been about 10 yeas like I said. so If it is a spirit it can't be bad if it hasn't hurt me yet right?
if u are talkin about for example me my friend and his phillipino father were talkin allowed when i felt a confused feeling and was sayin things in my head wich the father would say something about how my soul and his were related an then as soon as i relized that it was happenin it stopped asif i interupted it from progressin then the fathr got the thouts goin again but i couldn't keep the passing of energy going partialy because i noticed it please write back
It is the quantum physics of your soul. I have had similar experiences with approaching street lights and they turn on and off when I was in a state of thinking deeply on a matter of thought and the intuition would sort of guide me by the conformation of the light going on or off. I now go out with the intention of connecting my energy with these light energies called street lights so I can further develop this ability. Check out Kyron of magnetic service on youtube. Hope this helped :)
My boyfriend shared this article with me tonight and it absolutely made me feel less crazy. I have had the same thing as this woman going on for upwards of 4 years. I've always referred to it as my "streetlight phenomenon" and those who I've been close enough to to share my experience with have dismissed it as coincidence or a figment of my imagination. I have always known that it was not coincidence though. It happens to me far too often. As soon as I pass under streetlights- they go out or turn on. I've also had a whole street of them flicker on or off as I turn onto it before. I'm overjoyed to know I'm not alone!
great amount of bioenergy, increased bio magnetical field. In yoga this would be associated with the strong activation of Muladhara chakra (the root energetic center)n meaning these people have a lot of vitality which could be used to heal others and themselves.
