The Mysterious Street Light Interference Phenomena

-

 


Can you turn street lights off by your mere presence? No? Well neither can I but some people claim they can, the phenomena is called 'Street Light Interference' or SLI and the people who experience this phenomena are affectionately called SLIders.

So read on and find out what this phenomena is all about. 

Street Light Interference (also know as Street Lamp Interference and High Voltage Syndrome) is an unexplained phenomena where certain individuals claim that they can effect Street lighting in their local area above what would be expected by chance. This often is represented by flickering lights as they travel under them, sometimes they turn off completely and occasionally entire stretches of lighting can turn off. This works when on foot or in vehicles. Typically the lights turn on again when the individual leaves the area making it all the more mysterious. 

The term was first coined by Hilary Evans while investigating the phenomena for the Association for the Scientific Study of Anomalous Phenomena (ASSAP). Like so many phenomena of this type almost all 'evidence' is anecdotal compounded by the fact that those who claim to be able to perform such feats cannot do them on command and therefore any kind of scientific study is almost impossible. It also doesn't happen to these SLIders all the time just more often than by chance. They also report that this phenomena also extends to other electrical appliances.

What causes this ability (assuming it's a genuine experience) is completely unknown although some have surmised it my be psychic in nature. However many such persons have stated stress or anger as triggering factor to causing the phenomena to occur. This lends some credence to it being some kind of psychic or electrokinesis (as in the superhero power). Currently much more research needs to be conducted to show if there is indeed any unrecognised phenomena occurring or if it is just up to chance. 

Thank you for reading.

Until next time.

Farmer believes puma responsible for death of sheep

A North Wales farmer has told the local press that he has lost 10 sheep since July from what he believes is a puma stalking his farm animals. He states that they are killed by a single distinctive bite to the neck and if the carcass is left more is taken away (presumably eaten by the same animal) over the next few days. The attacks were in the Beddgelert area of North Wales near Snowdonia. The exact location has been withheld due to fears hunters may try to go after the animal. The farmer has also said that a neighbour has had a ram killed and another neighbour (or possibly the same one as it us not stated) saw a large cat (about three times the size of a domestic cat) light brown in colour jump over a wall back in August.  This is not the first time this area of Wales has been subject to suspected big cat attacks as in 2015 the same area of Nantmor and Beddgelert. Where more sheep had been were lost (assume killed) and a witness reported seeing a mother puma with cubs! Area where a pu

The Shag Harbour Incident

  On October 4th 1967 a remarkable event took place in which the tiny an relatively unknow fishing village of Shag Harbour and its residents would be put on the world map once and for all. The incident drew enough attention to be investigated by both the civilian RCMP and Coast guard and military Canadian navy and air force. The story is as follows. Multiple residents of the tiny fishing community of Shag Harbour began to notice strange orange lights in the sky in the evening of the 4th (approx. 11.20pm Atlantic Daylight Time) this was reported by multiple witnesses who generally believed there were four noticeable lights. The lights were flashing in sequence and then without warning dived at a steep angle towards the waters surface. However the lights did not crash in to the water but instead hovered above the waters surface approximately half a mile off shore. At first believing they may have witnessed a plane crash out at sea RCMP Constable Ron O'Brien was contacted by Laurie Wi

The Devil's Footprints

  On a cold Snowy February 1855 a strange event occurred through both East and South Devon that is still often mentioned to this day, that event would become known as the Devil's footprints. After a night of heavy snowfall the areas around Exe Estuary woke to a strange sight, a series of hoof like foot prints could be seen they stretched for between some 40-100 miles crossing gardens and roof tops. The explanation for this if lore is to believed is that the residents of East and South Devon were visited by the devil that wintery night as he wandered through the county plotting some nefarious deeds no doubt and all that was left as the witness were his cloven hoof marks.   The hoof prints were traced over haystacks, through walls and even roofs this was certainly not the works of the local wildlife unless deer and horses can climb and pass through solid objects. The Times described the prints as  the Times the footprints were described as:  "more like that of a biped than a qua
