One of the most common questions I get asked is, “Why do I interfere with streetlights ? They go out when I go under them and it happens a lot.” Actually, there are several things that can cause this phenomenon.
If you ask a guy who is into electric, they may tell you that most of the new lamp posts are high intensity and high energy. They also have automatic shut down switches with heat sensors built in. The electric people claim that while driving by a streetlight in a car, the energy being put out by the distributor through the spark plug wires (100,000 volts with high current) is enough energy to put the bulb into a shutdown state. They say the bulb filament can act like an antennae which would attract the current to throw off the light’s energy.
According to the electricians, if a lamp goes out when you walk by then it is because the lamp has reached its critical shut off point for a few seconds. It takes time to walk by the lamp so it is noticed when it happens. They also state regarding new equipment, like CD players or televisions and radios, they shut down because of the electrical emissions from our brain waves. So these low level electrical units are susceptible to human brain emissions.
Okay, these are good explanations, but I kind of have a little theory of my own. We are energy beings and all things around us are made of energy. Now, scientists know that people can throw out a lot of energy since they believe it is kinetic energy that causes poltergeist activity. So why couldn’t a person’s energy blow out a street lamp or make it flicker?
When there is a poltergeist haunting, the scientist will reason that there must be a human contributing factor. They will claim that someone in the house is using psychokinesis which is the power to move things with the energy generated in the mind. During 1948 in Macomb, Illinois there was one haunting case where the energy did not move things but caused them to burst into flames. When humans have the energy to do something like this, blowing out a street lamp looks like child’s play.
Many people tell me that these things happen when they are in an agitated state, or if they are thinking about it, or in heavy thought and not really paying attention. So this makes sense. If a person is mad or upset the energy levels are a lot higher and would affect things around them. If you are driving by a street lamp and think about the ones that have gone out, by having done this you are directing energy to the lamp that can interfere with it. If you are not paying attention and it is still happening, the energy levels are high so they have to go somewhere.
Now, there are currently several studies being done on this phenomenon. Many researchers say that they will believe there is something to this theory if a person walks down the street and each light goes out as they go under it. This has not happened to any test subjects as of yet. It is usually just a few or random ones that will go out. The scientists stipulate that it has to be more than five lights consecutively before they will look at it seriously. They also say it has to be something that happens all the time.
We are emotional people and our energy reacts to our emotions. It would be impossible for this to be an occurrence that happens 24-7. That would be like asking for an electromagnetic storm on a daily bases. These occurrences happen sometimes, not every day, nor 24 hours a day but at random times which actually makes them more believable as they have not been purposely set up.
Personally, I make street lights go down, make TVs go statically nuts. I also can’t hold a credit card or I’ll destroy the magnetic strip and it won’t work. So do I believe people when they tell me these things happen to them? You bet I do. It is easy to explain when you think of quantum mechanics: if proton A does not recognize proton B, nothing happens. But when proton A does recognize proton B then there is a reaction. So, our energy, proton A meets the street lamps’ energy, proton B and hey, there is a reaction.

I was riding my bicycle across the Golden Gate Bridge and listening to talk radio. This was a week or two before 9/11 (not that it’s connected, but it makes it easy to remember when it happened). The announcer was tired of his usual political talk. Through the course of an hour he brought up UFOs, racial profiling, and nymphomaniacs. I thought that that was a ridiculous mix of topics, so as a joke, I shot off this e-mail to the host:
M,
I was once racially profiled by aliens. I know because I was wearing my Roswell T-Shirt. The Grays abducted me from a lonely, night highway into their flying saucer and forced me to have sex with an alien nympho. I think it was a female.
A couple days later, during the day at my job with my eyes wide open, the face of a Gray popped into my mind – eyeball to eyeball, smack in front of me. This was a vision, clearly in my head. I thought of smiling, but momentarily felt entranced with the steely stare and couldn’t.
At the time, the image was so absolutely still that when it was over, I thought that someone with a particularly strong mind had projected a picture into my head. It was all extremely interesting, but I couldn’t let myself take it too seriously.
So, I told the story to friends, cloaked in a Dear Abby parody letter. I wasn’t trying to deceive any of them, just to raise smile. I ended it with this:
“Nothing like this has ever happened to me before. Abby, I think I angered the husband big time. What should I do?”
Sometime, in the next couple days, the image came back, but at a distance, and I felt the Gray being a bit upset – as if it didn’t like my Dear Abby joke. Over a few days, I finally got her (the Gray) to agree that my humor was in fact funny. I think I even got a slight smile out of her.
For the next year and a half, street lights shut down one to four times a week while driving past them. As the Gray’s presence receded, so did the street light phenom.
Stranger things have happened.

The same thing happens to me. Especially when I’m irritable, frustrated, or at a level that’s not my usual self. I first started noticing it last fall. My brother was staying with me and my roommate. I was especially irritable that night they both knew it. It happened twice that night. I went to turn on a lamp in the living room and it went on and then right back out. I then went to turn on the front porch light and it went out. It was kind of funny but freaky at the same time. My roommate took over after that. It then happened one, by one, in the garage (including the big one over the top), the back porch, the front porch again and you get the picture. I was at a friend’s house a couple of months ago, standing outside with everyone around a fire. The outsde garage light started major flickering for awhile and then went back to normal, but didn’t go out. Everyone thought it was weird. Tonight, I turned the front porch light on and it did the same sort of flicker dance and then went out.
Hence my search.

Its been happening to me to lately but mine also includes flashes…. This morning when I got up I saw flashes of light, it happens in other places as well and its almost like a camera flash. The street light by my house as soon as I come out of my mother’s house it goes of… and just this morning when I was making breakfast the light above me went out. It has also happened with me on a street down town and another while I was driving….. Do you think the two are connected???
October 31, 2007 at 9:10 pm |
I noticed this happening to me starting in 1985, just after I received Jesus in my life. The first time it happened I just thought something was wrong with the light. Then I was out walking on a bridge one night to fish, and the lights, one by one started to go out as I passed under them. It stopped when I stopped walking, my friend asked me what was I doing to them.
I noticed lights in the store would go out, in church, parking lots, and driving by them at night. I do not know what I attribute this to, but a guess it has to do with spritually somehow.
I spoke to my wife and older son about it, and they did notice that this does indeed happen to me. I just decided to look this up and see if it happens to anyone else.

Hi Amanda,
To answer your question, yes, sure do. The flashes are common with haunting or kinetic energy. They can be high energy fluxes.

The first time I noticed it was about 1994. I walked under a lonely stretch of the road and a tall street lamp went out as I walked under it. Spooked me out, but I dismissed as mere coincidence.
Last two years I started to notice drinking glasses breaking up at eateries, coinciding with my heightened mood and heated conversation.
Two months ago, while walking down a stretch of open lit pathway stairs through a newly constructed site to a neighborhood cinema, another street lamp went off as I walked past. I was spooked, and reminded of same incidents in 1994.
Then during a new apartment renovation last month, brand new good condition, well-installed halogen bulbs kept blowing up. Electricians were called in, replaced all, still, more blow outs. Then few days ago another otherwise stable bathroom bulb popped (seperated by a wall) when I was “emotionally interacting” with my visiting husband. I wondered about the link. Yesterday, I returned to my old home, and again while smooching away with my man, felt the annoying glare of a halogen bulb in the bedroom, thinking “I should redirect that light so that it doesn’t point at the bed”. Next minute it was blown.
Hence I google it. Glad to know it happens to many!
Thanks for the blog entry.

the same things happen to me. i will be just driving and one random streetlight will go out. its always the one i have driven under, no one else. once it happened twice in row, one right after another. i saw once on t.v. a woman was struck my lightning once and survived and ever sine then she has notcied street lights going off. ive never been seriously electrocuted before so this doesn’t make sense. i NEVER look for it, so its not the “red car” theory. even just recently my friend and i were in the car and she noticed a street light go out that we had just driven under. it startled us both because we were both like “whoa! why did it get so much darker?”lol no one else was on the other side of the road or in front of or behind us. its just too wierd bc its always when I am directly under it! like wat r the chances? every single time. like no one else. it just started happening the past months and its happened about 20 times. so random! but im always wanting to know why things are the way they are and why things work the way things work, so this just makes me wonder and i want to know why, if possible. any ideas? i kno there is a perfectly good explanation for this, but i just dont know what it is yet! thanks.

Hi oac,
It is basically kinetic energy.
Definition: Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, observable as the movement of an object, particle, or set of particles. Any object in motion is using kinetic energy: a person walking, a thrown baseball, a crumb falling from a table, and a charged particle in an electric field are all examples of kinetic energy at work. Objects that are not in motion possess potential energy (the other main type of energy), which is converted to kinetic energy when some force, such as gravity, acts upon the object to set it in motion. Elastic potential energy, for example, is stored in a stretched rubber band; when the rubber band is released, the stored energy is converted to kinetic energy.

Thus, us as humans with our kinetic energy at times can affect other electrical fields.
Thanks,

Hi there, well i am 16 years old, and have noticed around me lights flicker, they are normaly random but sometimes i can tell when they are going to flicker. I say flicker well they tend to flicker then turn off. I have been trying to figure out for ages what it could be. I have also been told of 2 mediums i give off a lot of energy and i am extremely sensitive to other peoples emotions almost as if i can feel what they are feeling at times.
I would like to know how to controll it if that is possible…
December 31, 2007 at 2:17 am |
Ryan,
Being able to sense what another person is feeling, or to feel it yourself is having Empathy. This is a wonderful gift that allows the owner of it to be able to help other people. People who have the high energy fields like you do often find that they can control it better by learning Reiki.
Thanks,

I am 16 also. Me and my friend have been noticing street lights going off when we drive under them, its been going on for about a month now. This normally happens when we are scared, but the other day when she was driving all of the lights she went past her neighborhood went out. I came home and researched it to see if this has happend to anyone else, we would like an explanation please, its really creeping us out! My dad says its because the head lights on the car are pointed towards the lights making them go off. can anyone confirm this? I highly doubt that its because of “ghosts” or “energy” its simply the headlights…I hope!
Thanks,
Racheal

Thats so funny. I always thought a lampost had a little sensor on it.
i always thought that because when i used to walk home alone late at night, if id see another person walking from afar i would be scared theyd see me and the light would go off. but sometimes if it was too dark and i was afraid i couldn’t see, theyd go on. strange
January 18, 2008 at 8:05 pm |
The weird thing with me is that Every time I walk under a street light it goes out, and when I get about 10ft to 15ft away it will turn on, this happens to many street lights I pass not just one, Can this be coinidence because it is starting to scare me?
February 19, 2008 at 10:17 pm |
For many years I have believed I had a lot of electricity in my body. It started with killing watches. Everytime I wore a watch for a prolonged period of time it would stop. Then there are the streetlights. Sometimes the same streetlight will go out and sometimes turn on when I pass it. I also had an old dial type TV that the tuner went out of. I could move my hand up and down on the right side of the TV and tune it. I didn’t even have to touch the TV to tune it. Also when I walk in front of my TV I tend to make it snowy. Is this the kinetic energy I heard Slyvia Browne talk about? She says people with this kind of energy are healers. What do you think?
February 21, 2008 at 5:00 am |
This began happening to me in 2001. I was falling back into my Spirituality after leaving an abusive relationship. I started to notice street lights going out above me as I drove under. It was somewhat random, but was happening more and more and seemed to me to be more than coincidence. I don’t believe in coincidence anyway–just fate. My apartment faced a parking lot next door and had floor to ceiling windows all along my living room. Once, I began to notice the street lights and became aware that is was probable my energy–the parking lamp next to my apartment began going out any where from once or twice a night to atleast a dozen times. During heavy Spiritual discussions with a friend it would go on and off every 5 or 10 minutes. While driving with this friend in my car and one of her friends we started to discuss this phenomenon. Her friend didn’t believe me, so jokingly as we passed under the next light I said, “watch”. As instructed the light went out. I was just as shocked as the both of them because I’ve never called it.
I moved to downtown Chicago in 2004. This phenomenon has not been so active since moving. The city tends to drain my energy. Recently, my mother has been ill and it has been quite a strain on us kids. The only child living with her is my 17 year old sister 21 years younger than myself. We are both strong spiritual Cancers with our birthdays being 3 days apart. Last week I went home when my mom was released from the hospital and for the first time in a long time I noticed a handful of lights go out. When my little sister and I went for a drive together we put out atleast 8 lights together in a half hour. It was reasurring that I still got it!
March 15, 2008 at 2:11 am |
I just came home from driving to the hospital to check and see if my boyfriend was there. His phone has been off all day, and his grandmother has been in the hospital, so I headed up to see him and his family. I got there and he wasn’t there, but on my way home something really strange happened.
On the drive home it was very foggy, so I could see the little cone that every street lamp makes with light pretty clearly. I passed under the first street lamp on the road pulling out of the hospital, and it flickered. Then I turned again and one of the street lamps I passed under dimmed… alot. About 4 blocks down, a lamp only I was under for at least 5-6 seconds went out. No one was near me.
Of course I was a little upset not seeing anyone from my boyfriend’s family at the hospital upset me. I was thinking the worst happened to his grandmother and I wasn’t there with him… I don’t know. It just weirded me out.
April 19, 2008 at 10:50 pm |
Amazing. Street lights have been going out for years when I pass under them. Maybe im not going crazy.
May 20, 2008 at 3:47 am |
Crazy. At least I am not the only one! Happens to me at least once a day, often consecutive lights go out. I pretty much expect it to happen and have gotten very used to it. Now as I approach a street light I just watch it as it goes it. I used to think it could have been a coinsidence but it just happens so often and in so many different places, even in different countries! I noticed the more i think about it the more it happens. same with light bulbs going out in my house. I remember not too long ago when I had to change almost every bulb in my house! I need to learn how to control this you know becuase that could get kind of expensive !

Has anyone ever had anything like this happen? I live in Las Vegas and had recently joined a fitness center. Was meeting up with a potential lover….someone that i work with and we’re about three months into A verbal and light touch affair. (we are both married to other people) I had just drivin into the parking lot. I was overwhelmed with the possibility of getting physical with this guy and all of a sudden the entire Club shut down. The entire light system went down about 10:30 pm. I was still in th parking lot and every body out there just sat there in awe cause everything inside and out went pitch black. So as people stood around I asked if this happens often here, and the replies were no never from several regulars that had been going there for a while. They sent everybody home cause the power didnt come back on. So about 2 months later, I go to a new location that had opened up and on the way home about 1 oclock am I drive under a street lamp and about 15 of them all the way down on the left side of a very wide street go out one at at time.Of course HE was there and again I cant get my mind off of him and the mental affair still in full swing. Okay…..Today I go to the burlington coat factory…trying to get him out of my head cause I cant take the stress , of this whole mental affair thing anymore and its off and on again. The power and lights go down in the whole store. They sent everyone to the front of the store cause the power would not come back on, so I Just left with alot of other people. Npw I have had the street lits go off and on my whole life, never really thought to much about it really but now I am getting a little spooked. I have alot of static electricity no matter what climate I live in and no carpeting, this has also been a problem for me and my dog as he gets alot of shocks and people I touch. So after this all happening I am starting to think What the @##$$#> Please let me know if this sort of thing happen to other people cause again I asked two of the employees a the store if this happens often and they said they have never seen that happen before. All this in 2 months. Also the power in my kitchen has been going out for a few months. I have to call some.one to come out I think I am blowing out the switches. Someone please comment
July 8, 2008 at 3:56 am |
I have been driving in my car and several times the street lights have gone out. I just moved into my new house about four years ago and every time I touch a light bulb it seems to blow. Every light in my kitchen above where I am blows all the time so I gave up putting new ones in. Almost every outlet in my kitchen is blown when i plugged something in. I even made the microwave and a coffee maker go crazy. When I’m on my laptop computer I even make the mouse mess up.
July 11, 2008 at 3:43 am |
I am so glad I stumbled across this site. I have dealt with weird things for years. Things like: shocking everything when I touch it; cars, people, walls (yes, the drywall), granite counters, etc., I have caused numerous plugs and outlets to burst into flames when I plugged something in, I exploded a ligt bulb in the cash register at a place I worked at by simply placing an ink pen on the ledge of the machine, lightning has struck 2 homes I was in when I was little and struck around countless places I have been, I have seen literal balls of lightning two or three times, I am not allowed to touch my parents’ TV’s anymore because I have made so many lose their pictures, I have broken countless CD players, two of my cars have needed new alternators, my dishwasher and freezer don’t work correctly and my digital cable’s signal keeps messing up for no reason and then there are the lights. Out of my entire street, my building’s common lights are the ones that are almost always out. I constantly have light bulbs burning out at home too.
So…what do I do about this? It is getting expensive!!
August 13, 2008 at 7:15 am |
one thing though , i have the whole street going off on me all da time ok i see the hole thing with the sensor in da street light but what about the other machines see i work at a gas station i use electrical stuff but some times they all malfunction on me and only me like the lottery machine my register and other thing , i need one explaination bout something that happened to me while i was with my friend this was already when i got use to da whole street light and what not.., ok now for da weird part , i was telling my friend bout the whole street light thing he knew bout it i recently told him but i had to bring it up i need answers , so i was telling him that im going to cause a black out the instant i said black out the whole light in my town went out, i freaked i was like “what da hell just happened” so i need answers , im not freaked bout but is something i must know
August 27, 2008 at 9:03 pm |
OK. Lights go out every time I go out -only street lights though. Thanks to you all I’m not crazy. Is this positive or negative energy affecting this? Can it be controlled? Are there any other attributing theories – spiritual, etc?
September 5, 2008 at 1:44 am |
I’ve got a question… For the past three years or so I have noticed lights going out as I approach. No not peoples porch lights but street lights and such. Before I moved to the beach I lived on main st. in a small town. When I would walk my dog street lights would go out as I approached. After passing them a couple of hundred feet the would come back on. Maybe three or more times in a half mile walk. It also happens when I am driving. Not all the times but alot more than I would think normal. I have asked several friends if they have noticed same and I get some strange looks. Nothing else abnormal ( I’m thinking crappy love life is just that) Question is , have you heard of such a thing before or should I just listen to the voices in my head thast say pay it no attention ?? Just kidding about the voices but totally serious about the rest.

OK.. So This is the first time I’ve ever looked it up on the internet about how light go off when I’m around them (mainly streetlights). But for years this had been happening to me…and there was a time where this did happen to me EVERY SINGLE DAY… I would say almost for more than a year. It got REALLY weird for me when it would happen 3-5 times a day. Now…I finally thought by then that could not just be a coincidence. I was driving a lot back then and so now it doesn’t happen to me much because I’m not out on the road anymore. I had always wanted an explanation for it…and always wanted it to be a good thing. I’m just glad that I’m not the only one. haha.. and suppose that I give off a lot a energy.
– Thanks

I thank you for posting this information. I’m 45 now, and just getting around to researching this! It happens to me all the time. When I was a kid, I was always amused that I “just happened to be there” when the bulb went out on a streetlight! It still happens, but I’m not convinced it has to do with negative moods. Even happy moods generate an excess of energy in me – that some people can feel and see. I am learning to reign in my excitement at times so as not to scare people off. The electronics I have the biggest problem with now? Digital cameras! I used to be a fairly decent photog in the days of the manual camera. Can’t get these digital ones to work properly! Especially where flash is concerned. Sometimes, it’s downright funny. Oh. And the fancier the cell phones get, the worse they work – for me anyway. Had to throw out my LG Env Orange and go back to my old model LG.
I also find that I’m sensitive or allergic to electricity. Really don’t like being in places, especially stores, with too much emf. Even with my protections, it really gets to me.
October 14, 2008 at 8:19 pm |
One more thing: when the streetlights go out on me, I’m not in a car. I’m walking by and usually across the street from it.
November 4, 2008 at 3:50 am |
Maybe someone out there can help me out. I’ve experienced the lights-going-out phenomena and the like for as long as I can remember.
Recently I’ve been having “flare ups”. I’m draining batteries left and right, knocking out the lights in my department at work and I’ve fried two touch screen panels in the last week. It just seems to be an everyday occurrence now that I zap something or break something. I’ve never noticed that this happens with my mood, it always appeared random to me and not dependent on my state of mind.
I’ve tried every thing from anti-static wristbands to putting metal spacers through my shoe’s soles to keep me grounded. Both of which worked in years past but seem to be having little effect now.
Any insight?

Hey JM. I just found out about your request for help. Better late than never, I suppose. One thing I can tell you is to NOT wear any metal on your body. Not even metal jewelry. Makes things much worse. There’s also a guy that has been helping me keep my ‘circuits’ working. Can’t explain what he does, but he is well respected. Takes 6 weeks to get an appointment.
The most important thing, is to do whatever you have to to keep your own body relaxed and in balance. So, in addition to no metals, that means no sugar and no synthetic chemicals or drugs. Even synthetic fabrics can cause a problem. Believe it!
Oh. And here’s the guy’s info: Dr. Robert Frey 212-687-0600. I don’t know where you are, but he’s in New York City. If you call, watch out – his receptionist isn’t the friendliest person. She’d do well working for the post office or DMV! lol.
November 26, 2008 at 7:42 am |
Wow I have had this going on for more than 20 years. Anyone who knows me, knows this happens and has just come to except it. One night when I was 18, I was telling my girlfriend about this. I offered to drive around with her at night so se could see it. We turned onto a large boulevard (Ventura Blvd.) and the entire city block of streetlights went out!! But no other power was out. Now I am 42 years old and still see this all the time. I can say that certain light just go on and off all the time because I notice many are the same light over and over. But there are also many new lights that go out as well. Also, why do they wait until I am near them?
I really want to learn more about this because it is a great mystery in my life. My mother was a Psychic. I do not know if this has anything to do with it.
December 3, 2008 at 4:01 am |
Please, this is happening to me on a daily basis. The same light on my street goes out whether I walk under it, or drive by it. My kids have noticed this happening, they think something is up. Everytime, Each and everytime I drive at night, Street Lights go out when I approach. Tonite, 3 went out. It is happening more and more. What is this??????
December 9, 2008 at 6:20 pm |
I am SO happy that I am not going crazy! I have always had these things happen to me. Streetlights are probably the first thing I noticed, but there are lots of other things too. At my old job everyone would yell at me if I stood too close to the radio, as it would instantly turn to static if I got within five feet of it. Car radio/CD player? FRIED! The CD player is done with and I can now only pick up two radio stations at all. I have satellite radio in my home and I have to arrange things “just so” to get it to play, whereas my husband can just turn it on and it works. I am the only person in my whole office who has had both their computer processor and their monitor completely replaced. Also the only person who has had the overhead light tubes burn out not once but twice! I am like the Grim Reaper of light bulbs. More often than not when I go to turn on a light the bulb pops and burns out, sometimes with a nice dramatic effect. I get the whole flickering lights thing too. The worst thing is that I shock everything, all the time! My poor animals think they are coming in for a good petting and end up getting shocked; when I pet one of them I can actually see a tiny spark every time I touch his ear.
It does seem to happen more often when I am deep in thought, although it has also been known to happen when I am really sick, very tired, or even extremely happy…just glad to know I’m not the only one.
December 15, 2008 at 1:12 am |
This happen to me all the time for years in fact that why I google “streets light going off around me” It happens when I’m driving down the interstate when I’m walking it happen enough to notice it. I really don’t watch for it but out of the corner of my eye or as I’m approaching lights or just passing by them they blink out. The street light out side my house goes out now I’ve joke with people for years about light going out around me. So tonight I decidecd just to google it and was surprise to see the comments on this. When I was eight or nine years old before I ever had thoughts about U.F.O or heard of them I remember as a child waking up in my living room early morning in a chair as the sun was coming up and have never walk in my sleep again that I can recall, But in my dream that night I remember being out on my poarch and looking into the sky and seeing lights And the message I always remember is We are watching you . I’ve alway joke with my friends that how they can pinpoint were I’m at , by making the lights going out around me. I’m 48 now. I’m glad to post my thoughts and to read other posting. Right now It’s 6:50 Pm tonight So I started looking at the street light out side my house to go out. I went to my window 3 times on the third time the street light went out for about 2 minutes and then it came back on I was hoping it would go out while writing this .I have no reason to make this up it just happens I do find crop circles a phenomenon there very interesting These are My thoughts. This also happens to my son we have talk about it.

I have always noticed that street lights have gone out around me… No big deal realy and it never really got me cerious but as of late my brother’s wife has said any time she is with my brother or I that the lights go out frequently. Just and FYI he and I have never felt any ghostly presence or any thing but I also don’t think that we have ever payed the phenomenon any attention.
I’m just wondering if anybody els that notices these things also has a sibling that does too.

my name is alexis and about 3 years ago during my first pregnancy i noticed that different lights would go out as a drove by them. i didnt really catch on until the third night in a row another street lamp went out while driving under it. After then it was a constant thing and it scared me. the first three times it happened they were ALL different street lamps and different places different days but it was three days in a row. then it started to happed more sporadicly. it happened one time with my mom in the car when visiting family in san antonio too which spooked me even more. i lived in a small town and now i moved about 30 minutes away and it still happens there. i am visiting my dad right now and while driving to wal mart about an hour ago it just happened which made me think about looking it up on the internet. i was SHOCKED to see how many people experience this and i myself am surprised that it still happens after i talked about it because usually once you talk about something it stops. But i remember two weeks before my grandfather died i told my mom (it was her father) and my brother that i had a very ugly feeling and someone is going to die and i could FEEL it, two weeks later my grandfather died. I rarely vistited my grandmother too and THE one time i asked my grandfather for money i had to go and pick it up from him (i NEVER asked him for money) my grandmother fell off the bed that very same day and she had to go to the hospital. she told my she loved me and i was the last grandchild to see her alive and the last one she said i love you to. for some reason the same day i asked him for something was the last time i would see her and it was like i was supposed to see her that day b/c i would never see her again.My daughter was born on the day that my mother’s father died (not the same day just the same date) and one week after her birth my father’s father passed away. im not saying that im special or anything but i just had to get my story out there because its just weird. thank you for reading if you do

i forgot to add that when i would be lying down ALMOST asleep i would get this overwhelming feeling that someone was about to walk into the room and sure enough someone at that moment would walk through the door and the house would be dead quiet

Streetlights have gone out around me for as long as i can remember. Usually when i try to do it it doesnt work. It always seems to happen as i am deep in thought, or absent of thought. Like clockwork i can depend on it if im not thinking about it. One, maybe two on any given night i pass by them.
Tonight was the first night that it happened in any large ammount, 5 to be exact. Lately i have been in a cluttered state of mind, constantly analyzing it to no end. I was walking down the street to buy a pack of ciggarettes, and 2 in a row went out, as i crossed the street i was thinking about it and the next one stayed on, walking across the next street as my mind drifted from the topic, it happened to a post that was housing 2 lights at once(both of them going off though i count it as 1). As i walked back from the store, it happened once more, and then i attempted to do it purposefully. I walked towards the light trying to focus my intent on turning it off, as soon as i gave up i exhaled a deep breath and suddenly it went out. In my current state of mind, i feel as if am without direction, and usually regard these phenomena as a kind of tap on the shoulder to wake up. It increasingly happens with more and more regularity.
I do not worry about it, i feel it as a disguised blessing of sorts.
I feel the meaning of this will help me find meaning in my own life.
Blessed be

I just had it happen about an hour ago. This has been happening to me for over 20 years. Once in college I told some friends about it while we were on a bus and about an hour later we stopped at a 7-11 and as I walked under the lights they went off above me. I have only told a few people but it normally happens again after I tell them allowing me some conformation. I do not know what causes it and it comes and goes sporadically. My theory is that it is my guardian angel (my little sister that passed at age 3 when I was age 5 some 37 years ago). I have seen all of the scientific explainations and this makes as much sense as any of those. I have also had to replace way more than my share of lightbulbs in my homes over the years. My mother still lives in the house I grew up in and she rarely changes a bulb now that I am gone. Whether it is energy, the pure light of an angel, or merely a coincidence I see no reason to fear or embrace it. The only thing that might come from proving it is the local highway department would probably try to send me some kind of bill for reapir of the lights.

This happens to me as well. I started noticing it about two years ago, probably because before than I had mostly only lived in rural areas.
At first I thought I was kind of nuts or that it was coincidence. I could have believed that and would have believed that – or that it was just a “natural” function of the lights – since both of those explanations are easier to believe.
But lately other people have noticed this when I’m with them as well. Anyhow, it generally happens when I’m just walking along not paying attention. The more sidetracked I am, the more likely it seems that a streetlight or two will go out when I walk by. I’ve even began to notice some going out when I drive by them and this never seems to have happened before.
Sure, it could be explained pretty easily if this only happened like once a month or so, but when it starts happening a few times a day…
Hence, the google search.

Yep, this happens to me ALL the time. Just last night driving home from a band rehearsal, THREE street lights went out as I drove under them. And I wasn’t “looking” for them until the third one — I was obviously on alert after the first two. I always wondering whether it was some kind of bad omen, but I don’t think so. Like many of you, I simply think it has something to do with whatever goofy energy I happen to be giving off. I almost enjoy seeing it now!

So for years now, this has been happening to me. And there are some streetlights that ALWAYS go out when i drive under them. My friend suggested that it might just be some thing in my car that does it. So we tested it in other cars… and it always happened. And it’s not like there are going out for just any car… just the ones I’m in. It drives me crazy. It makes me want to take it as a bad omen or something. And I have always wanted to know why they do that when I come near.

Im glad I found something like this. I tend to be rational and dismiss anything I find weird as a mere superstition. I even feel dumb trying to mention this to friends, but it is happening to me. When I started noticing a light going off I changed the street I walked along and another light started going out. Now I just try not to think about it. This has been happening to me for two years and when Im not paying attention. I cant help noticing it though. Before that I was one of those crazy people that see 11:11 everywhere. Do we need group therapy?

I completely believe this has something to do with being psychic, partially psychic, or having some strange aura around a certain individual. A few years ago I really began noticing street light going out while I drive under than. I can read certain peoples mind, especially 1 female in particular whom a psychic told me was my soulmate (and pulled her name out of my head). I have experienced “feelings of doom” before something bad happens. Just tonight I forgot to turn the stove off after cooking dinner. About an hour later Im on the couch with my laptop and I sense there could be a kitchen fire tonight. The list can go on and on but I’m glad I’m not the only person this happens to….

Hi Josh
I can relate to you. I have read many people thoughts too. Actually, it sounds like they are talking out loud but they are thinking. When I was a young child my sister and I fought a lot. I would accuse her of saying mean things to me. She said she didn’t say it she was thinking it.
When I was dating I would get mad at the men because I thought they had gone out on me. Actually, they were thinking about it. You are not alone. This is a great gift we have. I hope to put it to good use.

I don’t know what I believe this is, but after last night’s event’s I decided to google this phenomenon. It started happening to me a few years ago. Sometimes walking, but most times driving. Sometimes a street light that was off would go on, but mostly they switch off as I pass. Last night I passed the first light, it went out without me even thinking about it. As I took the corner the 2nd light went out, also again not thinking about it “fully”. At this point it was in my mind and I was waiting for a light to go off again, but thinking it was just COINCIDENCE again that the first 2 went off. Then 3rd light went out and eventually the fourth. I dont know why this keeps on happening to me, it sometimes freaks me out, like something BAD is going to happen. Anyway, glad I’m not the only one.

Hi
I have been experiencing street lights going out since I was a young child. First, many would go out when I walked under them. I still experience this, now, mostly when I am driving because I no longer walk in the dark. It doesn’t matter what car I am driving, it always happens. Usually, a few a week, it just happens, I am not thinking about it. Usually, I am listening to music–not upset. I cannot wear watches. The batter only lasts one day. When I stay in a hotel the key only works once or twice and I have to go to the desk every time to have it re-set. I am a high energy person. I was wondering if those of you out there who experience this are high energy too. What would happen if several of us were all together? I wonder how many lights would go out. Also, some days I cry for no reason. Then I turn on the TV and a national disaster has occurred and many people have died. Someone out there must experience this too?
