cliaz Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Anyone ever have this happen to them: You are driving or walking down the road and right as you pass under a street light, it goes out. Then the next day you are doing the same thing and go under the same light and it does out on you again. or when a street light is already out, you drive or walk under it and it pops on. You seem to always be right there when a street light goes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtomicCEO Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 It always reminds me of "The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul" where that happens to the main character. Every streetlight he walks beneath goes out. Turns out Thor was doing it to him. Don't mess with Thor's girlfiend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimC Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 when a street light is already out, you drive or walk under it and it pops on. With Cliaz I wouldn't be so certain it wasn't a motion detector light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cliaz Posted July 18, 2006 Author Share Posted July 18, 2006 http://firstcoastnews.com/news/topstories/...x?storyid=61258 this is all i could find on it besides hundreds of blogs You’re driving down the highway at night and out of the corner of your eye you notice the highway lamp pole turn off its light. Weird you think to yourself. But over the course of time you start to notice it more and more. What exactly is going on? What you may or may not be experiencing is something researchers have termed “street light interference” or SLI for short. Some paranormal researchers have deemed that our bodies have the capabilities to interact with different light sources and affect their ability to turn on and off. Personally, this has happened to me since high school. I can clearly remember one time when I was driving back from my girlfriend’s house after a fight and coming onto the highway at night. Upon approaching the onramp, in the foul mood that I was in, I noticed that a whole row of lights went out. I thought nothing of it at the time. I couldn’t associate it with anything. Plus, I was ripped at my girlfriend for ticking me off. Now, individual lights turn off around me while driving (and while I’m driving different cars too..so much for the “misaligned headlights” theory). Not only do they turn off on the highway but they also turn off on backroads. It hasn’t happened yet inside a house or other structure..only when I’m driving. I really have no explanation for it. I can theorize it’s this or that, but who really knows. I’m spiritually in touch with myself enough to think that it’s loved ones who have moved on who are just giving me a quick hello, or, we’re still here with you. I like that thought better than anything else. I’ve talked to some people who have experienced this (as my father has as well), and some people cannot wear battery operated watches. Again, this points to something logically towards how our bodies act as conductors or capacitors of energy. You ever rub your fingers on the carpet, or dragged your feet on the carpet and then touched something metal? Yep, static electricity. Our bodies were designed to hold certain amounts of electricity, thus acting in some ways as a capacitor. The next time you’re driving at night, pay some attention to the street lights around you. If you see them turn off (consistently during the week, or inconsistently), feel free to come over to http://www.realghostpictures.net and leave me a message to discuss what happened to you. I’d love to talk about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wirehairman Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Guess I'll beat Big John to the punch and pop your ghost story bubble. Street lights are activated by a light sensor. They turn on automatically when ambient light levels lower to a predetermined level and turn off when the light levels increase. If you're headlights reflect from the pavement or surrounding buildings in such a manner as to make the sensor think it is daylight, the lights automatically turn off. Certain styles of headlights are more prone to the phenomena. As for streetlights turning on when you walk beneath them, . Do you have a dark cloud following you around?

cre8tiff Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I shed some light on this. When I was a teenager, we thought is was hilarious to shine spotlights on streetlights and turn them off. We used to do it as cars passed to freak them out. You are a mutant, just not that kind of mutant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the sensor is above the light itself and a vehicle's headlight would be insufficient to affect the abient light required to shut it off.

Typically, but some types of headlights or misadjusted headlights can reflect off surrounding structures, pavement, etc. sufficiently enough to trip the sensors. We're seeing it happen more regularly with the new high powered halogen lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
