Street lights have been going out on me for years. It's not a random incident either. I've experimented with this, and my husband walked ahead,
the lights stayed on, I walked under it and it went out. We tried this a few times. We walked many times a week and this always happened. Not with
all the lights though. Recently, walking down a flight which was flanked on either side with globe shaped lights, approximately five on each side, as
I walked down the stairs, one by one, they all went out. This was witnessed by a student who came along behind me and he gave me a strange look as
he ran by. I stood behind and they came on again, and I saw a group of students coming down the stairs, and the lights stayed on. This has been
happening to me for years. Even when I'm in car at night stopped waiting for the traffic light to change, all of a sudden there will be a dimming of
light and sure enough the street light will have gone out. It happens so frequently and for so many years, that it doesn't bother me, but it would
be nice to know why it happens. I stopped a CD player right at the moment, I thought, "That's horrible!". It was Carly Simon singing Mockingbird
(sorry Carly) I had the music on too loudly and I was cleaning my kitchen and not in the best of mood. The instant I thought it, the cd stopped. I
actually gave the CD player away. And automatic doors don't always work for me either. So many times I've had to give the door a push. I never
equated the two before. I'm glad others have experienced this. It is strange. I have a friend who experienced the same things over the last couple
of years (street lights gong out). My husband was dubious about it all (being a lawyer), but he saw it first hand. There are other things, but I
hate to sound so strange, but one other things I've noticed, is that birds on sidewalks or wherever, often pay no attention to me. I've had to walk
around them, yet someone else comes along and they fly off in a hurry. I thought perhaps I don't give out aggresive vibes. Who knows what it's all
about. Anyway, it's been bothering me and I was glad to find others who have experienced this.

AHA!!! Thank goodness I'm not crazy!!! This happens to me constantly. I can be anywhere and streetlights go out. I have ESP with dejavue all the
time. I can sense spirits sround me. I even have glimpses of the immediate future. I have always had more static electricity in my body and I get
shocked and shock others all the time. This streetlight thing has been witnessed by my whole family and it it happened tonight. Is there any tests
that can be done to determine the cause for these episodes?

Happens to me all the time and I chalked them up to being on timers to conserve power or bulb life...I also notice it at intersections on poorly lit
side streets and may have something to do with glare on oncoming traffic (light turns green the first street light nearest goes out...light turns red
comes back on and the other side goes out...)
The only time I ever wondered about it was yesterday. Had cold weather and I was doing a candy run to the 711. Crossing at my usual light I started
across and then saw that the car that was two blocks away when the light turned, still hadn't started to slow down at all. By the time he stopped and
entered the crosswalk, tires skidding. I was watching him as I walked...normal pace and calm as a cucumber...the street lights went out just as he
entered the crosswalk and I was barely out of his way...I was really pissed off even though he should have hit me (he was going quite fast and came
right into the crossing area.
it was a miss by mere inches. There are four lights at the crossing section and only the two on my side went out...
wasn't till I got back home and had a think that it occurred to me how close it was...anger is funny that way.
Still I think it's more of a coinky dink than anything.
I've read that "Abductee Sympton list" thing and holy hanna I can yes to nearly all of it LMAO...so could just about anyone.
Who knows though. All I know is that the guy should have knocked me into tomorrow and I knew it was fine.
Should mention too that I have recurrent "flashes" or panic attacks about being taken out by a city bus so I'm especially cautious as a pedestrian,
prolly a bit OCD about it really.
Lights going out at the exact moment my anger rose is a bit weird though. I did yell at him to "put your &()*^%$ cell away and slow the *()(*#$%^
down"
Not thinking it'll ever happen in that way again and I'm not interested in testing it either. Was just a weird thing.

Its been a long time since I seen this, I will try to find a link.......
Most of these lights are on a "dark sensing switch"
And I will presume that most occurances happen while ppl are in cars, ever since the switch to halogan bulbs, not to mention all the ppl that cant
seem to "AIM" their headlights, inadvertantly trip these switchs, with their cars either being on a hill, using high beems etc.... I myself have
takin a high intencity flash light, when shined on the switch it will go out(they are on the bottom side or the lamp between the bulb and arm of
fixture)
If I can find the link it should explain a very high % of most of these "happenings"

last year i went through a time where i was effected by psychosis, one night i decided to run a loop through a park below my house. i ended up
thinking that some one was turning one of the street lights on and off as i ran under it to encourage me to keep on running, i ended up running for 8
hours, made about 60 laps and the light either turned on or off as i ran under it at least half of the laps, so about 30 times or so... since then i
have explained it as i hallucinated it and it didn't actually happen or someone was messing with me... or god. through out my period of psychosis
which lasted about 6 months i would constantly see street lights go out or come back on when i was near them. since coming out of the psychosis it has
only happened to me a couple times. hope this helps.

FINALLY!!!!!! I"M NOT CRAZY.... well in regards to this anyway.
I don't comment much on here but when I saw this thread my jaw actually fell open and I had to speed read because of the excitement. Allow me to
describe how this happens to me.
Street lights go off ALL THE TIME around me. I have noticed it for about 2 years now but only just recently (about a month ago) I mentioned it to my
fiance and she wrote it off as coincedence as well. I beleive in coincedence. A light going off around you every once in a while is perfectly
possible. However, this happens to me around 10 times a week. No joke. In apartment complexes when I go out to my car at night, I 3 or 4 times out
of 10 I have to get in my car in the dark because the freakin light goes off. It doesn't matter where I park, its always the light closest to my
car. I just bought an 07 Honda Accord around a month ago but it did it just as often before and after I got a new vehicle. This also occurs driving
down a street or even on the interstate here in ATL. It doesn't happen consecutively but even my fiance notices it now. She even had 1, but just 1
go off around her recently and she took note and told me. It hasn't happened to her since, but it has to me another 2 or 3 times just since she told
me that.
Now, I don't wear a watch, but thats because the face watches never stayed up on time with me. Digital ones work fine, but I still don't wear one
because I have a cell phone/tracking device now.
As far as electronic devices blowing out with me of anything, that doesn't really happen. I work in IT so it would kind of be non-condusive if
e-devices failed all the time with me.
Ok, as far as my emotional state goes when this happens. I am not a very emotional person, I get angry but its under control so no anger issues. I
get happy but am generally very reserved so I don't think my emotional state effects it.
However, I do think REALLY REALLY hard about stuff. I have even managed to be able to turn problems over to subconcious thinking when I can't just
sit and consider it all the time. I learned how to get eureka moments all the time by giving over problem solving to suc concious processes, so my
brain is very very often working in over drive. Not to mention all this conspiracy stuff I read now starts you thinking hard all the time anyway.
In regards to sub concious probelm sovling I learned I could do this when playing that game on the Gamecube that messed with you by making the
controller not work, or acting like it deleted your game save, or turning the game upside down, just messing with you. I can't remember the name
now, but I was working on a puzzle in that game and quit and fell asleep. I woke up 20 in later with the puzzle solved I tried it and it worked.
since then, I give over tough issues to sub concious processing.
regardless, I am glad I am not alone and crazy with this whole street light thing. I know they are on timers, and I know they have power save modes,
and temp controllers. But unless I am just one of those freakishly lucky people (which in some ways I kinda am now that I consider it) it shouldn't
be happening as often as it does.
