Talking about electronics. It happens to me that when I walk down through some street lights, they turn off. It don't know if those lights have some kind of sensor or whatever, but that's strange, since they turn off or turn on based on their light sensor. How could I affect that?

I've heard about this phenomenon quite a bit, and I know two people personally that this also happens to. I don't know why it happens, but it seems logical to posit a possible electromagnetic cause. Whitley Strieber mentioned at one point that this is something that can happen to people who have been abducted, but I don't know how accurate that is, or if its the only explanation. Besides, in the Cassiopaean transcripts, it seems that just about everyone who ever asked (or was asked about) had some history of abduction, so if the two are connected this should actually be pretty common OSIT.

This used to happen to me quite a bit, too. I could never figure out just what the deal was. Having lived out in the country for several years where there are no streetlights, I haven't really thought about it until you brought it up. I have to admit that not every streetlight would turn off, just specific ones would.

I thought the same, but I've been wondering what's the source of that electromagnetic influences. If it's the body, how does it generate it and why it affect streetlights?

:O Aw... well, I always suspected to be abducted, but it would be great to discover the accurate reason behind that phenomenon, only if there's something else behind it. I searched in the web but I didn't find anything about it.

Yes, I forgot to point that. It also happened to me with certain streetlights in the exact moment when I'm down of it or two meters near. Lights don't like me.

Weird stuff...

Re: Strange

Theres a humming sound where am at in the south of Fr.. It stops and goes with intervals of 10 seconds or so. There was also humming in the state of NV., 30 miles east of Reno (and 30 miles from Fallon Naval Air Station) as well just a steady humming like a transformer sound having current run through it ......? very noticeable ..............but not quiet annoying, in both places. Odd.?

There are a few places where mysterious humming is heard, with no explanation of what is causing it.

If you go to sott.net and type in the word humming in the search engine, you will come up with several articles about this mysterious sound.

Re: Strange

Thanks Nienna Eluch ! Something interesting is that while living in the Bay Area in Oakland CA. I had a small home in what was referred to as the Millsmount area or district in the south of Oakland . This house was on a hill over looking the valley and across from an old rock Correy. ( red flag) Eventually the Corry closed and holes were back filled and it was was turned into a realestate development partly fund and owned by the city of Oakland. This area and valley called Millsmount was also sitting on the Hayward fault line that runs north all the way to and under the University of Berkeley football stadium and goes south to Fremont and who knows where? AT times at night i became aware of a sound that sounded like high voltage being discharged at intervals and that did not resemble humming but pulsed electrical discharges as if like the comment that i have read in the transcripts about vaporising rock with 4th density technology to cut tunnels, as this was my first thought on the activity, and always at night and constant. Again very odd indeed ?

Hi Mjolnir --

Just wanted to let you know, I wasn't trying to alarm you (if that's how you felt, I can't quite tell). The abduction connection is just something that I have read about before when this streetlight phenomenon was described. If I have a chance, I will try to find the references I mentioned -- I unfortunately don't remember at all which books I read about it in (there were more than one), but if I manage to come across the information again, I will post them back here.

I was going to sit this one out, but this bit:

hits too close to home.

Brenda86: Perhaps you are hearing 50/60 cycle hum in your home wiring? One way would be of course to measure the frequency, etc. but that's hard. Another way might be to experiment with switching on more load to see if the timbre of the hum changes. Try silent loads like light bulbs. Have a friend or two switch them on and off so you can concentrate on the sound and whether it changes. We recently concluded some tests where we determined that even though a typical household extension cord is nowhere near an effective antenna length 'required' for broadcasting 50/60 hz efficiently, it does ooze a lot more power than we thought, meaning that the idea that open wiring can do work on itself is valid, and one form that shows is sound. Also, the PGE waveform at our place has more of a triangular shape than a sinusoid, meaning that our residential wiring is literally sprayed with higher frequencies. Not very smart of PGE, unless they are thinking with their dollar head.

Mjolnir thank you. It happens a lot with me. For years now. My working hypothesis has been that the heat radiated from my body - convection or not - is tickling a poorly designed photo-electric sensor in the streetlights. Recently, I was walking behind a building beneath a row of lights, and someone approached me from behind with a concerned look. The question was in effect, "What are you a walking Stephen King novel? The lights have turned off one-by-one as you walked by." I hadn't noticed. And again, my height, my baldspot, all pointed to me to my simple idea of a poorly designed photo-electric sensor, again. Interesting to hear others are having the same experience, and yes I have no clue why.

How about another?

I bought some of those LED based solar recharged lawn lights and lashed eight of them to my balcony. It's nice. They charge up during the day, and give several hours of soft light at night. Strange thing is though, that they often turn back on later in the evening. It has happened a number of times now that they pop on when someone is right at the point of passion in a conversation. It doesn't seem to matter whether we are on the balcony or inside with the doors closed.

Hi Potamus. I've got a question. Does WiFi connections create that humming effect? I've got a WiFi antenna in my roof but I also experienced that humming sometimes. I used to think that I could by due the music I'm listening but since I don't listen music really loud (because I'm very sensitive with loud sounds) I don't know if that could be a cause, even with cellphones wave frequency.

At the beginning I thought it was just coincidence, but when it happened again I thought "Uhm... wth is going on here?". But that sensor isn't supposed to be in the top of the pole that holds the light? I find that it's quite out of range to be affected by your own heat. Otherwise it would be affected by sudden climate changes and they didn't as far as I could see. That's one of the weidest things I ever see. :(

It's okay, just surprised and don't worry about it. I was looking for some related information but I didn't find anything...

Re: Strange

K, so i'm revisiting this thread because i just discovered a strange scratch on my left shoulder. I have no memory of having my shoulder scratched by anything. It's a real thin mark, like someone had dragged a thumbtack over the skin. Now, to be serious, i'm thinking i could've gotten scratched by some little plastic piece being stuck in the clothes im wearing (got new stuff for christmas) y'know, you take out the tag and sometimes that little plactic piece gets left behind? But I also should check the area I was sleeping in, it coud be anything. I just think it's funny when you find cuts on yourself and don't remember when they happened.

That happens to me a lot, and I just laugh at how strong my dissociation is at times. You would think something that causes pain would shake us out of our slumber, but for me at least, it's almost like a trigger for dissociating. Makes me think that people with a high pain threshold are just really good at dissociating. At least that's what I've realized about myself. ;D

Re: Strange

I wanted to add to this that for as long as I can remember, I have had street lights frequently turn off as I approach them. Sometimes household lighting would also do this.

When I was a kid, I noticed that I was thinking about things like the devil or spiritual mysteries and when the lights would go out, I had to control my fear, as I felt that this was happening intentionally to scare me. I would often wonder what was so different about me to make this happen.

I have a few blank spots in my childhood memory that I have never been able to reconcile but have always felt that I was molested, although I could never figure out who might have been the perpetrator. I used to also have a recurring dream starting when i was around 7 years old of being chased by a flying saucer in our back yard while with my older brother. I remembering all of a sudden not being able to run, as if the ground turned to deep mud. Incidentally, my older brother also feels he was molested. I don't know if he has experienced the street light issue.

When I dated my current partner in high school (we only recently got back together), we both experienced street lights turning off, but she also experienced telephones ringing as she would be near them.

On two occasions a bank of 2 pay phones started ringing while we were leaving school in the evening after a drama rehearsal, one then the other as we passed by them. I had the distinct impression there was something evil at the other end and didn't want her to answer them but she picked one up and there was nothing there.

I don't think these are normal activities in the sense that most people never experience them. I have to wonder why these things happen to only some people. It can be truly frightening when you are young and slightly less so with age.
