Wow Evie every interesting article..
A story here for you.
When me and Rob my friend went to check out the house we did our investigation in we found it strange that when we went down the road and entered the driveway of the house the lights on the street went out...we went in etc and did out checks and when we left and went onto the street the lights went back on....We laughed about this but on returning about a week later it happened again same senario...so yes I think what you have put can be right.
When we drove past the lights were on not flickering on and off as I thought that they might have had a fault?

Is Street Light Interference Syndrome, a person's interference with electrical items, caused by natural electromagnetic fields or is it a psychic phenomenon?

People dealing with this condition are known as “SLIders,” a phrase coined by paranormal researcher Hilary Evans

It is not outside the realm of probability that this may be found to be a natural phenomenon rather than a supernatural one. The human nervous system is powered by electrical impulses that travel back and forth through the nerves, the spinal cord, and the brain. This creates a very slight electromagnetic field, but one that is too weak to affect anything. SLIders, however, seems to have an unusually strong electromagnetic field. When they experience a high degree of stress of emotion, the excess energy seems to be able to travel through the air and interfere with the electromagnetic field of an electronic item. This heightened energy field results in buzzing TVs, blown light bulbs, dead cellphones, and occasionally crazily blinking traffic lights.

Ah thanks for sharing, Owl. I wonder if the same applies to the radio when someone is near it.  

Hi Owl

I can confirm that we can interfer on TV STEREO LIGHTS etc, this happens to me very often because I work with magnetism, it has happened very often when I travel and I start concentrating on my wife to say a little hello at distance, she calls me to tell me that the tv went crazy and the house ligts also and could feel the presence.

When I work on a picture for instance the person can be in the states philipine what ever and when I concentrate on the person to help it happens each time that she feels strange things inside

This can seem science fiction to most but it's true

Owl to avoid that this type of thing happen in your home you need to better control what you do and send the energy only on what you are working on, it takes practice but works, I needed to control this from the begining because like you, watches etc everything went wild, this is where meditation comes in, you need to channel, concentation is very important

John

wow you guys...

this was a delight to read thank you owl for posting it up

This site crashes on me a lot lately.  Other sites don't.  It's very frustrating.

hmm, thats a tricky one evie.. i can honestly say i dont know on that one..
i mean im sure some people have strong enough energy to blow light bulbs and street lights ect but ive never seen it done before and i know i cant do it... so im a little bit skeptical on that one

Hi

I have always had a bad effect on electricity, it was a standing joke at work!Computers any electrical equipment.

I go through phases where if im on my own the lights oftern trip.Most recently when i put a light on it blows!The switch goes kind of blackened sometimes it needs replacing other times my bfriend tried it after me and its fine.
So this is very intresting to me.Good to hear others have similiar experiances
Thanks you

I had never heard of this before which is really interesting. I have however witnessed flickering lights in my home a few times but wasnt sure if it was just a loose connection or something

WOW interesting. I used to walk past a certain street light on my way home when I lived at my parents and it would turn off as I walked past it and turn back on when I was past it. Never thought of that before.

Also what is a Slider?

I can't do this on my own...however, I have a friend that it happens with constantly. But, only when we're together.  We had theorized that something about our connection makes us more potent when we are near each other, but we obviously have no real way to prove it.

Thanks so much for this post!  
I and my mother are SLIders.  Needless to say when I visit home there are tons of black outs in my parents home. rofl Indeed when Im replacing a bulb and both of us are in the room the bulb has blown as soon as I finished installing it!  
 I would also like to say my mother's mother had a 'nack' for drawing lightning and has been struck at least 5 times durring Tstorms (dirrectly and through power lines).  She's fine and still alive today.  Perhaps genetic???


Thanks again,
Harpy

It doesn't happen to me but it does happen to my brother! When he walks by lights sometimes they flicker or even go out!

I'm certain some people have this ability. I have a family member that did this unexpectedly!

I thought I was the only one! When me and my roommates would walk my dogs at night, the street lights would ALWAYS go out as I walked past. It would do it with nearly all of them, but there's one specific one that I remember because it always went out when I was really far away, and wouldn't come back on until I was far past it. I tried to tell people I thought it had something to do with me, but they said it's just a coincidence and gave their own explanations. Maybe I wasn't so crazy after all!  

I know a ton about computers, I have been studying them on my own since I was very young, took all the computer classes my high school offered, and went to school studying computer science for a year. I don't claim to know EVERYTHING about them, but some of the things I have seen just completely baffle me. I had one computer that just refused to work for more than a few days at a time, it would just crash and refuse to work for no reason at all, and it would only happen when I used it. Had to send it in to get repaired under the warranty about 8 times, and after that I just gave up on it. Also, the card reader on my current computer, which I built myself, stops working the moment I try to use it for the first time. It's been replaced 3 times, the last 2 times it was installed by someone other than myself to make sure I wasn't doing anything wrong, and it was tested out before I used it, too. I never thought about it before, but it does seem like it's related in some way. Hmm...

I cannot wear mechanical watches ever! They discombobulate within hours of setting, and yes, this happens with every watch I wear.

I never thought about the street lights but now that you mention it, they seem to turn on when I pass them at night  
Also I go through night lights really fast, they never last. I've had maybe 3 watches in my life, they always broke so I just gave up on them. Cellphones are the same, I go through one every 6-12 months or so... Also my internet goes out alot  
I used to get static shocks alot when I was younger, everything I touched would zap me...not sure if that's connected  

OH! Also my blender seems to work overtime when I use it

So glad I found this post before adding a new topic, I was looking around for some info on what was happening to me...looks like this is the answer.  

NEED SOME HELP WITH THIS PLEASE!! Its costing way to much money.

Okay so here's my problem...
It sounds like in might be a SLIder...is there any way to control this???
From what I've read about the subject "it’s something that can’t be purposely triggered, it usually happens sporadically. SLIders can’t seem to control when they trigger street lights or electronics."(http://www.profilingtheunexplained.com/psychics_mediums/sliders.html)
Also,Meditation seems to raise my  the number of occurrences that I experience rather than lower them.

Some of my experiences:
*lights flicker around me when my emotions run high.(it's kinda a cute, whenever this happens my boyfriend cks for cold spots,haven't found one yet )
*electronics(any type) stop working for no reason or get fried, if i dont touch it for a few months they magically start working again. (for this reason i have 5 computers,gotta have a back up lol)
* cellphone is always on the fritz,doesn't matter the type of phone either...ive given up replacing them and have gotten use to all the glitches.
* My main problem is that I blow out the electronics in every car that I drive!!! In the past year and a half I have broken 7 cars. Its to the point when I borrow my friends car they notice that for a few days after the car doesn't "act right". Well as you probably guessed, they don't let me drive their car anymore, a few wont even let me in LOL.

  The significance of my problem,as I have now deemed it, was fully realized this morning during a trip to the insurance office. With much reluctance my mother is selling me my sister's car, she had refused to do this in the past b/c of my problem. She was the 1st to call it out.
  So we go into the insurance office, everything is working fine before we walk in. Mom enters before me and the agent is on his PC helping her, as soon as I walk up it freezes. I sit down to wait for her, she is then directed to go the the agent on the other side of the room. I stay seated where I was until I'm called over to the other agent to answer a few questions. Again, as soon as I walk up his PC freezes too. We have a few min of small talk while he trys to resolve to PC issue, task manager won't even open. The 1st agents computer remained frozen until i got to the other side of the room. Mom mentions something to the agent about me breaking his computer...she say "she habea to muchie powaay" (moms Korean BTW). He laughs and replies "yeah,some people have static electricity".
  Mom makes me go stand by the front door of the office where there are no electronics   before I'm half way across the room(maybe 2yrds) the agent yells out "WOW as soon as she walked away it started working".

Today's events now have me concerned. Mom and boyfriend are both worried about the new car. See I haven't been able to keep a car for over a months time in the past 8months,they usually last me at least 3 LOL

Any suggestions,comments, theories, etc would be greatly appreciated, I'm just at my wits end with this.

Watches for me. Either the batteries drain very quickly or the straps always break. Now I rely on my mobile phone's clock.

Ive never heard of the term slider but I cant buy enough bulbs in this place. Maybe it the electrical wiring,however we had our breaker box replaced and it still does it. I have had other strange occurrences but never thought it could be me. Maybe static electricity.

Ive had TVs turn on before where I just go to grab the remote and it turns on. Radios always go crazy but I believe its interference where I am at or my hand is blocking the signal.

Interesting none the less. Ive never tried to see if I could blow a bulb or do anything like that though. It could be that a spirit causes it at those awkward moments who knows.

Ibelieve this is true for I've experienced it as well but I think it has to do with energy building up

Sliders are people whom have such a SEVERLEY imbalanced energy field that it actually affects other electronics. There is definelty certain a practice which can solve this problem and harmonize one's field permanently, but this is not the sole purpose of the practice itself. If any of you are REALLY finding this an extreme nuissance than doesn't hesitate to pm or reply to me.

Well what I can tell you is that I know some people whom have developed VERY powerful energies and supernormal abilities, and they never have a problem with electronic devices malfunctioning within their proximity.

The issue is not really the imbalance itself but more so the cause of the imbalance which could be any number of issues of the individual themself.   What matters is being able to have it corrected regardless of what the root cause or the specific issue causing the imbalance is.

Laetus, that's really neat.

Reading these posts made me feel so much better, glad I'm not the only one, thank you all.
After an operation when I was 18, I had internal bleeding. The doctor thought that I might not survive the operation I needed to stop the bleeding. My mom was waiting in my hospital room while I was in theatre. I had seen a man from our church running up the stairs towards my room so when I came round from the op I asked my mom where he was, she was shocked that I knew he had been as I was already in theatre when he arrived and he had left before I returned.
I think with out knowing it I had left my physical body for a while.
Since then watches stop working when I wear them but work just fine off of me. When I'm very agitated or upset the light in the room I'm in will start to flicker.
Do you think it is related to me leaving my body for a while? I would be interested to hear your thoughts on this.

I do not believe that this is a naturally occurring thing as it started with me after a NDE when I was 19.  After that it happened so frequently that I would tell people dont worry its just my friendly ghost.  It was not until years later that I actually realized it was me causing it.  I have a real problem with cars.  Strange electrical problems or over heating for no detectable reason.  I have blown two engines.  Also phones will cut off when I am stressed or I can't stay online as the internet will fail.  Lights flickering or blowing is very common or turning on or off by themselves. I truely wish I could resolve it.  For anyone with this problem, it helps to put heavy furniture in front of outlets and living in an older building helps.
