The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

In the last 8 years I have noticed a lot Street Light bulbs automatically switching off (breaking ?) when I near them.

Sometimes they work again the next day, vaguely 30% of the time it needs to be replaced.

What is up with this ????

Could be that you are causing them to prematurally "break" as it were

Always suspect the probable as opposed to the improbable first. So it is probably nothing.

well many street lights actually shut off when someone nears them or they blink, and i think this is a law inforcement purpose, so that when a criminal at night is close to the light it shuts off or blinks, i dont know if this is true but i have been told this before

There is an interesting article about this occurence here in response to a similar question.

omg seriously that happens to me too!!!! But I've never talked about it, I thought maybe it was in my head but not as many times as its happened, no way it was all in my mind.

thats an excllent article mrd, as i didnt know this was such a big phenomena, but it still seems inconclusive, but this has actually happened to me many times when going near a street lamp on occasions, very interesting and unique thread

I can't be sure, but similar events happen to my dad and brother. They seem to have a loss of lightbulbs more than other people I know (as in flashlights, overhead lights etc.). They also have problems with their cell phone battery draining fast, and dopping more calls then my mom or I. I think that these occurances can co-exist in people called Indigo Children/Adults. My dad, brother and even myself have shown signs of being Indigo Children/Adults...so perhaps you should look into that?

Most street lights have a cycle that they go through, they reset a few times a night when they get too hot. Helps the bulb last longer.

You're stealin' the energy. Give it back!

:-P

Everyone that has posted here, their answers, make alot of sense. I have a light across the street from me, and I walk back and forth, under it, just because it won't be lit, and when I walk under it the light comes on. Then after a second or two the light goes off. I do it to annoy a neighbor late at night. (long story). Then again it could be your energy doing it. Anything is possible.

It's true the bulbs cycle off for a cool down period but most governments also have them on periodic cut offs in a series to conserve on energy costs. That's why they seem to move with you as you travel. It's happened to me many times and I've noticed it's at certain times of the day or night in different areas, where it happens.

it's just your electrifying personality, Drow, but when I read raziel's comment, it could be the "criminal" element in ya..lol
grin

That's an excellent article MrD thanks

DrowVampire I'm guessing that its not the same lamp all the time. If it was I would think there's something wrong with the cables and when your weight goes near them underground you break a connection.

Of course if you keep walking past the same lamps at the same time each day, it could be on a time switch.

If it is something supernatural : You say that some 30% of the time the bulb needs replacing after its gone out. To me this would make me wonder if you're not taking energy but giving it out - if you drain energy from a bulb it will dim or go out but come back on afterwards - if you nuke it with an overload it will go out and not come back on.

I wouldn't think anything of it. It happens. Lights may turn on off off when it notices someone there.

Its probably nothing. Maybe it has a motion sensor or something on it.

I dont know why it happens but it happens to me too.

well I know where I live they are on timers for energy effeciences and so maybe it is just that ..... or maybe it is you taking the energy anything is possible yet I would not worry about it.. :)!

This happens to me as well. Maybe your energy over powers the bulb very quickly without realizing it, making it break it the process.

it could be that you are sucking energy from around you and that is why they break.

It happens to me as well. I say that it is either mere coincedence and perhaps nothing, or perhaps you radiate alot of energy. *shrugs* an unknown phenomenon....

The same thing happens to me...but with only two particular street lamps...and I could walk near them any time of night and within me getting within 6 feet of them they switch off. The other street lights remain totally unaffected. I thought it was my imagination at first...but this is a daily occurrence.

It happens to me as well and it can be freaky at times as I have seen them change the blubs and it still happens to me MRD thanx for the article I also seem to knock out street lights that are the type for going thru traffic this well doesnt happen as much and perhaps it is due to some other fault but hell if something like this happens all you life and you at least as an adult get them to come out a change it and it still happens then what????

I just think street lights are fickle and it doesnt matter who is around...

ive never herd about that but i do know the streetlight out by our house flickers everytime a car goes by..........

Perhaps you are telekinetic. Or a big coincidence.

This is a very interesting thread. I have read somewhere, cannot remember to save my skin, that those who are vampires, both psy and sang, DO NOT mix well with electricity. I am not doubting what others have said about the lights being on a timer or have a cool down cycle, but it is what I read and it interested me and caught my attention because it happens to me a well. For that being a 100% explanation, not hardly, but it might help you in finding the answers in which you seek.

I think that you shouldn't worry. Not to take away from the supernatural examples given. It's probably the lights phasing in and out.

Oh, well, that explains it. The lamps are turning on and off as the Leafs and Candiens score goals...

LIGHT THE LAMP!

Ok, kidding.

I think I'd go with the power-down cycles theory. Cities do run lamps on timers to turn them off and turn them on in an effort to save on costs. They might also have the occassional faulty electric eye or photosensor.

Probably lots of reasons. Unless you walk down the road and the lights all turn off, consistently, as you approach, each and every one.. I would highly doubt it's you causing it.

well like Sherlock Holmes would say, when you have leminated all that is possible it only remains the impossible, so its all to speculations

doesnt work when every one turns off as you pass it

im not sure if its anything too supernatural, but you never raelly know. when i am walking i am always aware of the street lights, i always pay special attention to them i dont know why. im from chicago, here they always flicker on and off but that doesnt mean to much to me personally, im not sure what it is that draws my attention to them.

Filaments are very sensitve and your output must be unmanageable. :)

i've often wondered about this.. but i've n ever really been able to see it.. i'd be interested in what was goin on there.. anyone have anything stronger than anecdotal evidence ??
D

the answer is relatively simple, it lies in the part of the requirements for the 6th degree in the golden dawn.....a part of the test is the creation through your own art of a light source which does not require fuel...the result, is usually a mercury vapor lamp that runs off of the "subtle energies of the body" (the em field produced by the human body), since streetlamps are also mercury vapor lamps (typically) it only stands to reason that an adept passing by would cause a flare of light, and a psychic vampire passing by, would cause it to darken

Well all I can think its the energy that flows threw you. I have heard of ones being able to alter the light. Or to make static in a radio or tv. Very interesting.

Wow...In my house we joke about taking up stock in GE! I blow at least 4 bulbs a week. Sometimes those hallogen bulbs at work, sometimes street lights! I mostly notice it at home though! I have blown up to 5 within an hour! I have always wondered about this! Always had this problem! My husband is a super redneck & doesn't believe in stuff like this, but even he knows it's me & picks on me about it! I guess it becomes obvious with how often I do it! It drives me nuts! I'm glad it was brought up!

I've put some more thought into this. Why not try to make the lamp blow. That way you'll know if its you or the power company

But, according to his explaination, they're not blowing, they just turn off. And the next day they work fine.

Unless these places have municipal workers that do nothing but inspect streetlights everyday... that's even more doubful than his energies are causing the lights to turn off.

And as I said, I can see making a correlation if this happened every time he passed a light, but it doesn't as far as we can tell... so...

Keep in mind that street lights have a day/night sensor. If you're in a car and drive by a light and it goes off, your headlights most likely triggered the sensor making the light think it was daytime, so it shuts off...

my bf has streetlights dim alomst to black or flicker alot when he passes them.....i agree with the commment about bein a psychic vampire

You are obviously emitting an e.m. pulse which is causing the lights to burst.

Yes there is timer's on them as car or person goes by them. We have one on are garage it light's whole backyard and if someone goes by it ...It will go out it thru a security system we have installed.

every try to throw energy? its interesting...grin...and u can change traffic lights if you want to..might be careful with that one though...learn to control it before you start throwin though

Ive noticed that the phenomena stops once I stop throwing rocks at them...but that's me

I've had periods when this has happened to me also.

sorry, i have to go along with everyone that is saying that is a timer doing the trick, I can't believe that this many people have the ability to knock street lights out.

When I was a newbie (perhaps a premium mosquito) - I posted about the very same thing. I was extremely concerned about it; what was going on, what was WRONG with me. At the time I received a lot of nay-saying and a few people who wrote posts just like Cancer's where they just dismissed the idea thinking I was describing something that happens when I am in a car.

I have said, time and time again. No, this usually happens when I am walking.

Very upset that I was not taken seriously about the ordeal, I sarcastically commented that "Oh gee, perhaps its the light that shines out of my A** that turns out the luminescent streetlights!"

The thread was subsequently RIA'd and lost forever.

So, here we are, ready to revisit the topic again, eh? I am a Shaitan now, and so perhaps I can be trusted to help dig for answers without doing or posting anything stupid.

To revisit the symptoms: I cannot wear a watch as the batteries do not last long, Time/Temperature bank clocks break when I frequent the area, and I have noticed since the age of 13 that parking lights, street lights, flood lights on the side of buildings that are weak - fail when I walk near them. It's not like I can think "Go out" and anything happens, this just happens at RANDOM, whatever my mood, seemingly without my control.

I am still searching for answers... and I am still tolerating my best friends and my boyfriend commenting, "WILL YOU QUIT THAT!" whenever we walk together in public and YET ANOTHER light goes out.

My next move is to study Reiki, and see where that leads me....

Interesting, the lights have light sensors on them. I'm on the other side of the fence on this one. Be walking by in mid day and it come on. No others was doing it. It just might be several things.
Dust in the switch contacts, insect touch something inside the wire connections. Hmmm make you wonder....

LovesEternalDeath -
The Indigo theory is amazing! I am checking into it, I have found several webpages so far. It is very interesting and very on-topic! Also, It reminds me of the native american "rainbow children" prophecy....

How interesting, just how many people have had the same problems with the street lights. maybe you should try to keep a record of it...how often it happens and your general mood. You might end up finding a pattern. I used to blow out the whole street when I was a teenager. You might even want to try to do it conciously....I've never been able to wear a watch either.

did a bulb ever explode or break in pieces?

i just have to respond

the bulb thing is something that happens to a few people i know, mostly people with very high energy feilds around them, the bulbs some how access the energy feilds of the person and then short circuit as the energy is too much for the bulb,

a person i know cannot do anything on a pc and never online as all pcs hang a minute after he begins to work with them, and get back to normal when another person sits immedeately after

my experiences with bulbs and electricity are of power cuts , and electricity shutting down in just the area where i am , especially during heavy energy rituals involving very high energy equations, the regular pc hanging and cell phone and all other electronic device going kablooi is ofcourse the norm with individuals that have high energy fields

i havent quite gotten to the core truth of the matter and suspect that it isnt just the persons energy field but how it is run through ethereal beings in the area of the light bulbs electronic devices etc

most interesting thread for me atleast as it is a question whose exact solution i havent reached at yet


you may even notice sometimes weather changing slightly with your moods, particularly breezes , especially around trees that you pass often, almost like the breeze has a sentient quality to it, like it is a conscious force

I had a friend that had this happen too. He just figured that he had that electric kind of personality lol. We never figured out why it happen but I also remember he could never wear a wrist watch either. It never worked

See? That's what I'm talking about!
When I moved from Philly to Pitts, and new friends started to comment on it, my b/f explains, "Oh, that always happens to her." and I add, "Yes, I have a magnetic personality." and leave it at that.

*sigh* What else can ya do?

It might be because of your pranic energy. If you were agitated, or even if you have never learned how to adequately channel your own prana, that may have caused this to happen. Basically, your mood, your aura, could have been malevolent, agitated, angered, so much to the extent that the light bulbs just blew the fuse for you! `^^`

All of us have different gifts. Some of us have realized them, some haven't, and some of us don't even get them. You might give off a bigger electrical charge then most normals. This would obviously explain it. See if you can learn to tap into it.

Yes its true could be coincidental,but in magic and life there are no coincedences.
Things and events happen for a reason even though we may not know why.Most vamps are great energy manipulators.Whether it being drawing energy or sending it out.Depends on there level of control and if they know how.Whether u be a sang or psi all can feel and manipulate energies to some degree.There are many articles on this just have to look for them.

Great article MrD, but I'd still chalk it up to coincedence. *looks at Birra* or maybe when the Bears score.

The only Light bulbs that burst around me are ones in my room. I do alot of energy trainning and meditation. It's something I go through alot. Good thing Light Bulbs don't cost alot. The more expensive the bulbs are, the less likely they'll go out around me. So that's helpful for me.

I read this post a while back and realized when I would walk by as well the light would shut off. I usually drive now and never go on walks anymore. Yesterday I was walking to my car and I walk by a street light and it shuts off. No lightning, Nothing to cause it. Could of gotten hot and reset, could be a coincidence. Or could it.

i think it is more of the electrical current flowing through your body , i have had simular things happen as well most things electrical either draw from you or are getting overloaded by your presence

I have found that it happens most frequently when I am contemplative. If my mood changes... it seams to stop.

I have also noticed that there is a consistancy with which lights go off and which do not. I have also noticed that the same streetlight that consistantly goes out when I walk underneath it does not go out when others walk under it as well.

My rational mind after the first few times experiencing this (some 10 years or so ago) assumed the Loitering theory... Lights in certain areas go off to limit loitering in specific areas (ie near entrances of buildings) and yet the others do not go off because they need to stay well lit (ie parking lots.)

However not everyone walking in the same path... or driving, or cycling... in fact most people in general... do not cause lights to go off.

Saterday a week and a half ago I walked 3 miles without walking under a lit lamp... and then I noticed one that didn't go out... it purtubed me and broke my mood. then gradually more and more lights started to stay on... until I noticed that none were going off any more... even ones that normally go off when I pass under them as I got within the last 2 miles of my house.

In other words I don't have a f'n clue.

That is really strange. I've never heard of that happening before. Maybe the lightbulbs your city uses are faulity? :)

I don't think that I would make too much out of this unless it becomes a problem. In this case it could either be a form of telepathy or some kind of static electricity phenomenon involving you. Just a couple of out-there possibilities.

In addition, some people tend to have a higher electrical output. For example, I can't wear watches without them breaking within the hour. light bulbs burn out on me all the time. You might just affect the electrical part.

so vampires and electricity dont mix well? must be a hell of a lot of people on this site using clockwork computers. it is very common - used to happen to me all the time, and quite often the lamp would flick back on again as soon as i was a good distance away. a friend of mine was also "afflicted " with it. i also have problems with watches - particularly the old clockwork type (so maybe it is personal magentism). dont know what the explanation is - maybe it is just coincidence. i notice lots of coincidences in my life, maybe i attract coincidences. its just one of those oddities.

About clockwork computers. Yes, I use a computer that runs off of electricity but I have more problems with it. I have two computers in the house. The desktop has has 3 hard drive crashes. The printer often times will not work with the computer until everything has been rebooted about 3 times. The laptop just turns off for no reason at all. Files on both get lost or corrupted.

i'm an IT guy and i can assure you - everybody experiences problems like that where i work. hey - maybe it's coz i'm around. hmmmmm

good point, maybe your computer could have trojan in them, better to have it checked.

anything a seepage of water, a serg, some ass playing with the gride its bin done or evin the souls of those who died there.

Ya know I am not one to judge or disregard anyone. I have personally known people who experience these same things and Im not sure what it is.

That Happens to me too. As well as the lights many other electrical items malfunction when I'm near them. One of the most common occurrences is automatic doors. There has been many time when I have to wait until someone goes through and I sneak in behind them becuase the doors just won't open for me.
At home the hot water system doesn't work in the shower when I'm in there and lights flicker. I always blamed it on a poltergeist but now I'm not so sure. But this house or at least the shed outside is haunted.

I know for a fact that it's not a malfunction... just something that some of the lights on the circuit do from time to time. They are not broken (unless you see sparks and a short light show). Relax.

Could be that you were just drawing the energy from them causing them to break.

My Thoughts: Things happen for a reason so except what you have and the things you don't have you don't need

Theres a great deal of arguement about this one. Some people say it's supernatural, and others say it some kind of energy feild...or a faulty light. Either way, this one has been discussed previously in another thread a while back.

Can any one explain the inabilty of automatic doors to open for me though?

You obviously have to much Kenetic energy running threw your body or perhaps its something more.

yeah. I thought so too. I think its relatd to a mulifunction of the unit not the bulb.

A street light dims (sometimes, not EVERY time) when you walk under it, so it must be *you*.

Do your living room lights dim?

What about when you're in a restaurant?

The questions to ask are, why are only street lights affected?

Why aren't *all* street lights affected?

This topic would be taken more seriously if those two questions could be convincingly answered.

i was just about to pose the same question Cancer. it occured to me right after a lightbulb in the bedroom went out, and it was right then that i wondered, could this be because i am special? or that i sucked the energy out of the bulb just by my mere presence?

i concluded that it was just the lightbulb's time.

I dont think its anything but just to be funny.....I think the electricians were on crack when they did the wiring

Streetlights have on off sensors that are effected by light electrical impulses and vibrations and even sound waves. Thunder or lightning can cause them to flicker and even a human beings electrical forcefield can influence the sensors on occasion.
This is my hypothesis.

The light bulb’s time... now that is a good way to put it. I really think it's just a coincidence.

Most of the lights are in series... when one goes on or off they all go off (in regard to photosencitivity). I watch the light across the street when I am reading on my couch. It seams to stay on; and still when I go out the front door it tends to go off, or flicker.

I've heard a couple of people relate this to vampires... I don't think anyone here is postulating that it is a vampire specific phenomenon.

SLI –Street Light Interference Phenomenon

to me this is just another mystery that is hard to explain because no on realy knows for sure what is causing this to happen.

That happens to me with the kitchen light.... at least once a month.... thats too soon for a bulb to burst.... i don't understand it either

your a smart man cancer first post ive read from you and right on the money.
a not em is akin to gravity. but the answer to the why not all lights and why street lights I think might be due to them being out side and the air being humid. em travels better through water than air. also maby if I may sujest that as there are so many lights on the street and so few who put them up there sheilding is not all the same there for making it possible for the em to get through.
just and idea. I would not take this as a proof of power either I must agree. but still there are possible explanations.

that is not always true. I have shot many a light to see the rest stay on.

maybe you are drawing energy from them.

Go back and read Billy the Just's post. It's not a timer or a daylight sensor...it's the type of bulb. They heat up more than a regular bulb and in order to keep from burning out, they shut off when they get too hot and turn back on when they've cooled.

I'm pretty sure Mr. D's article will mention this as well.

i think if you put your mind to something it can happen i call what you did there was telepathec..
i am telepatehc i can move things without
Thinking..

If the lights going off was solely due to overheating, then why would it be on my 2 mile walk last night I only saw 9 lights go out; and why out of those did 8 of them go out when I was within 10 feet of the pole? Seams that the law of averages is against that hypothesis in my experience. There was one light that was going off and on fairly regularily... it seamed to go out every time a car passed.

I am beginning to wonder if it is sound related... clicking shoes perhaps.

I did note that all of the lights went off for nearly exactly the same length of time... So there must be some sort of timed reset.

Everywhere I go it's any type of light that always bursts or stops working or flickers. Even in my own house. The funny thing is once I'm gone , everything's back to normal apparently.

i think it's only normal that this happens sometimes
but you say it happens alot well then you probably send out rays that confuse the elctricity flowing inside teh lights...

this way you kinda interrupt the process of turning energy into light and the light just stopt shining

don't worry too much about it you're not an abnormality or something you just have alot of outgoing rays ( that's your aura that regultates it) probably cause you have too much energy

greetings Lost darkangel

Kglitterous - If we're really going to look at the law of averages, then we need to examine a more complete sampling. How many streetlights have you walked past in say the last year? A thousand? If you walk 2 miles each time you probably pass 15 lights and say you go 3 times a week, then you likely pass by 45 or more a week depending on how well lit your streets are. That's 2340 a year. So of that number would you say you've 'put out' 10% even? 234 lights? How about 50%...that's almost 1700 lights going out.

hmmm sounds like some one has a very high output of energy
