STORIES:

I come from Zambia and up to age 41 I experienced nothing of a static shock. At 41 I spent winter in Namibia and experienced this for the first time. I am now 46 and just spent my 3rd winter in Namibia and I experience shocks quite often, once or twice a week. Today I learned from Internet articles that here in Namibia this is commoner because the air is very dry, compared to my native country, Zambia. Easy explanation why I only experienced shocks so late in life. But here is my puzzle. This was the reason I searched the Internet today. I have failed to find anything useful on the Web on this. I am just recovering from the worst flu in my life (We are in spring). Began last Sabbath. On the second and third day of symptoms my body was really hot. And alas, those days and the next four days of my illness I have had a shock almost each time a touched a door, fridge or wall. Literally tens of times a day. Another difference: all previous shocks were only felt. But many of the ones during this illness were vissible sparks.

I can make dried herbs dance around in a plastic container. Even after I take my hand a way it will take a couple seconds for the charge to go away. I always know when a thunderstorm is coming, for several hours before any clouds form in the sky my hair goes wild.

As I walked from my bed to the bathroom sometime after midnight, I slipped and I touched the corner of the wall where a fluorescent new bulb was placed. All of a sudden the room was lighted, as though an electrical switch was turned on. I stood there for a while, intermittently touching the bulb. Everytime I touched, the light went on and on until weaker, and eventually faded away. The fluorescent bulb was on a wood panel floor. No metal around. koudsy mikaelian <koudsymikaelian at comcastdot net> Wynnewood , pa USA - Wednesday, March 11, 2009 at 17:20:44 (PDT)

I have currently realized that I register on a fuse tester and that if I focus I can reach a charge of nine volts I have also experienced other phenomena that is upsetting to me as in seeing other energy signals Surrounding other people as well as myself. I found that I cannot enter Any cemetery without getting violently ill I'm worried it's going to get worse.

As a kid I discovered a strange thing : I experienced a strange nauseous feeling whenever a magnet was put in proximity of my forehead, between the eyebows . Nothing else but magnets could cause this strange feeling.The feeling was more like a claw gripping my brain ..

My husband and I were both electric people. Early in our relationship we touched each other and were both surprised by the intensity of the current. It was more of an electric burn in which neither of us could disconnect. There was no static energy or anything other than each other that would have caused the shock. Recently when he passed away I was 'notified' of his passing by the immense shocks I felt with whatever I touched. No one else in the room was affected. By the way, the relationship we had was beyond wonderful and we always felt the energy we shared with each other provided a unbreakable bond.

this started about two years ago when i accidentally touched an open live wire. i didnt get shocked i just felt more energized than before. now whenever i touch something electrical i feel more energized as if i take electricity and turn it into energy if anyone can explain what happened please contact me at hannesviper at gmailldot com hannes smit <hannesviper at gmaildot com> USA - Thursday, March 24, 2011 at 03:52:55 (PDT)

Yesterday my boyfriend and I were walking a trail that had high tension wires making their way through a tree lined area at regular intervals. He had his hand under my shirt at the small of my back and could feel vibrations or some weird type of electrical current on my skin. At first I had no clue what his was talking about, but as we walked closer toward one of the high standing metal tension wire tower, which were sizzling slightly, by the way, I felt what seemed like an electrical current coming up from the ground. I was really scared. The weird things was that the same thing was not the case with him on his body and he couldn't feel anything coming from the ground either. It happened everytime we got near one of the towers, but never on him, just me. Anyone hear of anything like that? It doesn't seem to be what other people on this site have experienced, but I wonder if it's in the same family of strange circumstances dealing with energy.

Ok so i have noticed recently ive been getting shocked everytime i touch something metal or dealing with electricity. It used to happen alot when i was a kid but it didnt hurt, they were the small ahocks that baaically tickle you. I also jad a radio with a broken antenna but we still had to use it for music since mom and dad wouldnt buy us a new one until our birthdays ( my sister and I). Everytime i would turn it on every channel would be fuzzy, that is until i would touch it or just sit close to it. These days i dont use vaccums because weve had four break down on us, dont. Use my headphones often ive broken more than maybe twenty sets in a year or so, i think thats just bad luck, although its always the left ear piece that breaks. Ive also gone through two cars within a month. They were used cars but the previous owners had no problems with them at all. Within the month i broke down my moms car she loaned me, the power steering went out and garages around here wanted a rediculous price to fix it. So we sold the car and bought a buick. It ran good for about two weeks and bam there goes the transmission. I havent had a car since and its been 3 years. Mainly i cant afford one lol. Just today i went to kiss my boyfriend and shocked his bottom lip, saw the spark and heard it too. Made me jump and his lip went numb for a bit. Also i have only told two people this but im gonna tell others. Its a bit crazy so dont judge. Usual im content not extremely happy or just happy usually just in the middle, i do this for a reason. Everytime i get extremely happy bad things happen whether to me or others i know or even spoken to a few times. A few situations would be one day i was at my dads bday party having a blast and just extremely happy( btw the bad things usually happen the day of to after.) the next day my phones going off the hook from frienda calling me saying our friend had died. Another situation is i was riding with my bf in his car i was extremely happy, usually when i catch onto my mood and make myself sad or something else sometimes the bad thing doesnt happen. Anyways with my bf riding around and cue happy feeling then bam a rock hits his windshield. Other events have happened just too many to list. The reason i say i stop the bad things by changing my mood is one time i was riding around with friends, i was happy and having fun, all of a sudden a car was turning with us but a bit faster and trying to get in our lane. As its coming at us i suddenly became very calm and the driver misses our car and gets pulled over by a police officer seconds after i had calmed down. I think its just craziness but who knows.

I have always had intermittent episodes of being shocked by static electricity and have broken many computers and watches, etc, but I have had a weird occurrence that I can't explain. A lamp, sitting on a wooden dresser which sits on a wood floor has a metal base which often saps me with static electricity. Every time I receive a shock, even just a small one, a battery operated toy on the wood floor 4-6 feet away turns on. Additionally, sometimes my son's wii game, which sits on another wooden table in the same room turns on and lights up very brightly. I turned off the wii but it came right back on again. So, I unplugged it. Both the toy and the wii continue to work. Also, this may or may not have some relation, but about 10 years ago I had a problem with a tv that would turn on by itself with no explanation. The TV would be on when I came in the apartment. I would walk past it into another room. Then when I re-entered the room, it would turn off. This happened over the period of a month and we moved shortly after and the same tv never did it again. So, maybe you can figure out what this is. I'm a science person, so I tend to think there is a good scientific explanation- no ghosts here probably.

I am a student of vijaya college of nursing,kottarakara.when I work in a hospital setting which is airconditioned and when I spent some time in it,I start getting zapped from every metal objects(aluminium doors,steel desk,BP apparatus are few) and even water.even TINY SPARKS are generated when i come in contact with metals.after wise when someone touches me they get zapped including small SPARKS. sandeep kumar s <sandeepkumars1947 at gmaildot com> korttarakkara, kerala india - Monday, January 24, 2011 at 06:08:36 (PST)

So weird. My dad always ruined watches. He was finally told that he has an electric personality...from a jeweler years ago - we thought it was funny at least. This first part has nothing to do with my electric personality but want to list it anyway. I would have premonitions or deja vu that was so clear yet I'd never been in that place or situation yet totally knew what was going to happen next. This ended when I was around 12 or so. My dad had the same thing as a kid I later found out...I didn't feel so crazy after finding this out. Also, I read about one guy who would think of a song or something on TV and then whamo...it was on. I have periods of that but have always chalked it up to coincidence. In the last couple of years my sense of smell has heightened. I can smell metal and other things that people don't seem to notice as much. This is gross, but I can tell when someone is on their period...I can smell the metal from the blood. Super gross and weird too. Now, I used to go through watches like crazy in my 20's but never thought that it was ME. For some reason I never put two and two together about my Dad and I possibly sharing this weird connection. I've never noticed any streetlights (why are streetlights so affected?) but now I'm totally going to focus on them and see if I notice anything odd. Here's where my real weirdness starts. My hubby and I have been together for 14yrs. He's never had any oddities that have been mentioned here except that he's always wearing shorts and T-shirts in the cold but...he does get cold. I think it's just a choice really. I, on the other hand, am always cold - especially my hands and feet. I love wearing Doc Martens and warm clothes. 3 weeks ago, as always, we're laying in bed and my husband is sleeping next to me. I'm still awake (always have had sleeping issues since childhood) and just, as every night I do, I was lightly touching his back while watching my movie. I started feeling an electric current from his skin thru mine. First I thought I was imagining it but then I kept at it. It would last just a few seconds at first but when I concentrated it would last longer. I did this for about 45 minutes and then my husband woke and I told him what happened. I laughingly told him I could be a healer or even an X-man now. We decided to run some tests. I'd touch him and see if he could tell when the current was there. Nothing on his end. Then we decided to have him touch me... HE's Got it now too! Tonight, he put his hand on my shoulder and he had a really strong connection for about 45 seconds. Now, it doesn't really matter much where we touch but I have figured out that we can't be cuddling to get the connection. We told my parents this, joking that we had electric personalities and my dad reminded me of his watch issues. I'd forgotten about this for 20 years. Now I'm wondering if my husband is just catching a ride on my electric current or if he has some special electric anomaly as well. I need to check my kids and see if I can pick up a current from them too! This is neat but weird. T Thanks for your site.

I was so amazed to find this site- I never realized there were so many other people that have trouble with electronics! Ever since I was a teenager, I set off store alarms (SO not fun!) and I have nothing but constant problems with electronic devices. Usually I don't talk about it but every job I have been at long enough, my bosses all start to notice how things go haywire around me. It seems to be highly correlated with my emotions- if I get upset or angry, that is when the big things happen, like computer crashes, complete system failure, car breakdowns, lights burning, fire alarms going off etc. Fortunately my boyfriend doesn't have this problem, and a lot of times he can get my phone or computer working by restarting it himself and keeping me a distance away. Last quarter I had to take a computer programming class, and I must have spent 3 times the amount of work as my peers because of my issues with computers. Oddly enough, I don't have a problem with static electricity, but I do run "hot". My boyfriend calls me volcano girl. It is my hope that eventually research will provide some insight into these types of phenomenon. The only advice I have for anyone whose experiences are similiar to mine is this: If you are still upset (or even happy and excited!) step away from the device until you are calm.

I set the alarms in most of the shops, department stores, airports etc no matter of what I am wearing. This is causing me a great embarassment as both on entering the building and on exit I set the theft alarm on. Obviously on entering the staff think that I have stolen from another shop and on existing they think I stole from their shop. would appreciate receiving comments and perhaps a solution Patricia Engerer <imports at krytponchemistsdot com> USA - Thursday, November 25, 2010 at 00:35:20 (PST)

My husband and I have our home office in our bedroom as well as a television and other electronics. While I was in the bedroom one night with the television going it just completely clicked off (wasn't a blown fuse because everything else remained on). No one was near the remote. My husband came and pushed the on button several times nd the television would not come on. Him being totally bewildered and frustrated laid the remote down staring intently at the screen. Within several seconds the television came back on unassisted. Before we go to bed we shut our computers down completely (dont beleive in leaving them on all night). In the middle of the night the desk top computer turned on by itself very brightly lighting the room to our shock and amazement. This morning as my husband and I slept my lap top came on with its little toshiba insignia tone and very brightly lit screen and it woke us up. All these items require buttons or remotes to be turned on and were not set to timers. It doesnt scare me but it sure is weird.

A few years ago, I walked on carpet past a radio that was turned off, it turned on for a second or two as I passed by it. Today, I get many shocks and even give them to other people when I shake hands with them. This usually occurs when the weather is dry but not necessarily cold.

I once purchased a hematite bracelet from a store and had to return it within the hour because I felt sharp electric shocks course through my body. Has anyone else experienced something like this? Katie USA - Monday, November 01, 2010 at 17:20:47 (PDT)

I have experienced a strange occurence with a piece of Fire Opal I purchased. When held next to my skin the once translucent stone would turn opaque. I would place it in water and the opal would become translucent again and it would turn back into opaque once I held it next to me. (It takes about a half hour to change to solid but only a minute to become clear once in the water) We tried to have my no nonsence husband turn the stone but it didn't. The stone eventually became less and less opaque every time and now does not turn much at all. We contacted the seller and he has not heard of this happening before? Can't explain it. Michelle M.

I have noticed that in the last few years I have been more "electric", I guess, than other people around me. I can never exit a car without a jolt of static zapping me and I make speakers click and buzz wherever I go. I can't control this and it doesn't happen all the time, but I first started noticing it about 5 years ago. Other people thought that the noises were strange and it seemed to happen only when I was in the room. The only other person who I've told about this is my husband, who thinks it's hilarious. This has only added on to strange things that have happened to me since I was around 11 years old. I am 35 now. I seem to attract some paranormal activity and at least one of my children has inherited that. I have dreams that come true, although I cannot predict which ones will and don't often know until the events happen. I can also predict the of unborn children and have a 99% accuracy rate since I first started keeping track 10 years ago. When I read palms for fun at a museum Halloween party, it began to get spooky because I was telling people about specific events in their lives which proved to be correct. I don't know how all of this ties together. I'm not a New Age type of person and I don't go looking to enhance any of these things. Most people don't know about my "different" abilities and I really can't talk to anyone about them, so finding this site to vent was a nice find. It's good to know that I'm not the only weird one out there! :) Julie Brown <juliabuccellato at yahoodot com> USA - Monday, October 11, 2010 at 09:31:49 (PDT)

I just came acrossed this site with no information before about what I have experienced. I really just thought I was crazy. So I'm 19 , I had a seizure when I was 12 years old. I went to a specialist and did the whole deal, MRI scans, Ct scans, etc etc. And? the specialist said there is nothing wrong. :/ Let me go about to when I was 10 yrs old I use to have these very strange dizzy spells when i would be doing anything normal then it would come, i would lose balance, like having vertigo, then It's like i would lose sense of time and with myself, I could not tell at all who I was or what was going on, if that makes sense.:( those would last for about 5 minutes. And everything would come back to normal. Except I would be very nauseated and would lie down, because those spells left me feeling awfully strange. Well those went on till I had my Seizure. I didn't tell my mom about the dizzy spells, cause honestly i was 10, i didn't know how to Explain it, and I thought I was probably only weird or crazy. When I did tell her after I had my seizure, she mentioned it to the specialist and that's when he said, they seem like dizzy spells which is quite commom with seizures. As i was saying when I had that ONE time seizure, i have never had another one of those spells, thank god! But those memories have always made me question what those could of been? especially what has been happening in the recent months as I have been experiencing electrical phenomenon. I'm consider a hyper senstive person, due to being scard from a tortuous relationship i was in about a year ago with an ex. I'm really sensitive, and i can get nervouse quite easily. ex. in the past months i would be in a car with anyone, (i try to be comfortable,) but i couldnt be (because i was still in that state of emotion from that relationship) and the blinker will go off crazy. And it's myself, or my energy i guess would be the apporpiate term, doing it, because I'll take a few deep breaths to calm down, and the blinker will go off. As soon as my anxiety comes back the blinker will start going off wildly again:(. The problem is that the person(s) that I'm riding with look at the car like" what the heck is going on" and even my mom, as i have not mentioned it to her. I didn't think people messing with electrical appliances could be real. I myself thought it was strange. But Again I thought I'm just losing it, or something is really messing with me.:( So i have not mentioned this to any one before because of embarrasement, and the truth, that my family doesn't really believe in things like this, and they are just normal plain jane family, So I think they would see me as delusional or something:(. Now that I have done research on my own, I have tried relaxtion techniques and have just been really learning how to deal with it on my own. Another thing, As I said, I'm 19 years old now, and I have a 19 month old daughter :). I just don't want it to affect her nor I. That's why I have picked up on researching because I felt I could not turn to anyone saying " oh when I'm in a car I can control the blinker signal with my emotions ", To me it would definitely sound strange. Also I cant wear watches because they stop. I was losing and gaining hope at the same, because I was losing hope because I had never heard of anything like this before and had no one or no where to turn to, and gaining because I am almost learning to control by using relaxtation techniques. i'm looking into acupuncture to as I know that those help with aniexty and stuff. But I came here for more info, from anyone who has learned to live a pleasant and normal life with it please and thanks, and also a few months have gone by smoothly without any problems as I am progressing. Just only in large crowds I feel I can get a little anxious and I can feel that the other people can feel it, and they usually stop conversations when they feel it. If that makes sense. And I would like advice because I'm currently going to the community college locally and in my larger classes I feel like sometimes i can affect the person sitting next to me. Thanks for readin, and i'd like to leave my email if anyone will like to share and give more detailed info about what others and I have gone through. my email is, WITHOUT the percentage symbols(to avoid spam)%%%%%adri_anna22 at hotmaildot com%%%%%%% thanks for reading and blessings to all!

This is my oddest report.I don't let to many people know i'm a bit "odd".I only have let my best friend know.Plus my Mum.It started around year 4.I'm in year 6 now,so its not to long ago.Alot of strange things have happend with electrizity around me.Once,when I walked near a TV,it turned its self on.Also,when I touched 1 of my robots,all its lights flashed,and at this point,it had no batterys in.And another time I gave my best friend a electric shock,well,I've done that to aload of people.Then there was that time when I sent a compter MENTAL.Then the famous light sketch.I walked into the school hall,and as I neared the front and sat down,1 of the big strip lights whent out and the projector stopped working for a couple of minutes.Also,when I touched my car once I gave myself,and my Mum,who was also touching the car,a EMORMOUS elctric shock.Yup,thats just about it.If I do anything else wierd,I'll post it up.THIS IIISSSSS ALL TRUE. William James Bayliss USA - Wednesday, September 01, 2010 at 08:45:41 (PDT)

glad to find this site. i have the probem of stopping watches, and batteries don't last long with me either. this site explains alot of the issues i have with my computer, lights, etc. i really did not put it all together in a complete picture, this is facinating. i have always been very sensitive to people, places, i feel energy coming off everything. people think i am reading their minds sometimes. my grandfather could hypnotize people, but he stopped the practice, it was something people where afraid of years ago. i am deadly afraid of being hit by lightening, i have had the hair on my arms stand up when it has been near by. i get very excited/anxious before some thunderstorms. i also cut a light cord with a pair of metal sizzors (mothers good sewing shears) when i was very young, it burned a huge hole in the metal. i don't really remember much about that, except they could not believe i was not hurt. and i know when i am stressed or in a hurry, the computer will freeze up or act extremely slow. very interested in learning more, i have never had an explanation about my stopping a watch, except the watch repairman used to tell my parents that some people are magnetic and this causes the stoppage. i wonder if i inherited some of this, too late to ask any questions now. my sister is very sensitive too. debra <stamprad at gmaildot com> USA - Tuesday, August 31, 2010 at 21:49:25 (PDT)

Wow, I was thrilled to find this website! I am not the only one out there accutely aware that something is different. I guess I should start with a little background. My mother was hit by lightning when she was child and is now deathly afraid of it. I have always had difficulty with electronic devices especially computers, (my mother wont let me near hers because it crashes every time I am around it.) I am often asked to stay out of kitchens as there seems to be a complication with appliances when I am in the room. Four years ago, I was also struck by lightening. Since that time, I often hear music or people talking when it is quiet. I am able to tune into people's energy if I focus on them. (I try not to because I think this is an invasion of their privacy, and I should not "read" them without their permission.) I know this sounds pretty crazy. I often explode things when I am upset, both at home and in public places. This is the worst part, and my daughter always accompanies me to the grocery store either to help if I am stressed or to shop for me when I am unable to touch anything without getting shocked. I am currently finishing school to become a licensed massage therapist. I have had a very difficult time in school because whenever I receive deep body work I get really sick. The theory is that the lightning caused the connective tissue in my body to become stuck to whatever it was near. I am curious if anyone else has had similar results???

Well,this is about myself.I get these static shocks all over my body every so often.I'm not lying.Also,sometimes electrical devices I use go wierd somtimes.Like when I used this computer at school,the screen kinda murged toghether and the picture mulitpliyed loads of times and the ICT person din't know what I had done to it.Also,once I walked in to a room and the light exploded.I constantly give my friends stactic shocks.There is alot more stuff but I can't be bothered to write it down.None of this is a lie,I promise. James Williams Brighton, Sussex Great Brighton - Tuesday, August 24, 2010 at 02:53:17 (PDT)

I started noticing strange phenomena in my life ever since I was 13 years old. I was always afraid to talk about it with people in fear that I would be called crazy or locked up to be experimented on. So for years it terrified me and I have stayed on medication to help with any effects, but have realized over the years that medication has actually made it harder to deal with. The events I have experienced have not only become stronger, but also more frequent. Lately it has played out in a means of strange weather such as a lightning storm when I was demanding my son tristan storm mason to be returned to me by cps and was very intense. lightning bolts kept shooting straight into the ground all around fort worth. At the time I started noticing the cars getting a very strong gravitational pull toward the ground and I could sense the engines running harder and the cars were straining to drive. Also, lately I have been noticing vibration in the ground around where I live and am not sure exactly what it is, but have figured out that we have 3 states of oil and natural gas with ocean water beneath the surface of where we live. So I believe the vibration is possibly the oil drillers pumping the substance from the ground and I am just highly attuned to this. It actually drives me nuts at night and prevents me from being able to sleep to great. I also notice that the age of satelites have caused a wide array of issues for me. As I am beginning to realize that if I were to eat healthy, live in a healthy environment, I could be a very high functioning person who carries an empathicly attuned ability of visual clarovoyance. But unfortunately all the vibrational waves and energy polluted atmosphere has caused a great deal of confusion and discomfort for me. Television and radios are a whole new ballgame now that they have gone digital. I have noticed strange warping in the sound and actual peoples voices coming through. I am certain that we can capture this on recordings and I could easily point it out to others who are open to the idea, but to be honest... the entire concept to me seems like playingwith fire so to say. I dont know anyone in my life who could guide me through this new knowlege and I hate to make it worse by publicising it to the wrong people who wouldnt know how to menally grasp this sort of thing. I occasionally hear ones thoughts or desires in the form of words and other times in the form of just a feeling or just knowing, but usually try to blow it off due to the fact that for years it frightened me and I thought I was losing my mind. I realize now that I am near 28 years old just how real it is. I have been making lights dim and brighten since I was 15ish years old and now can see whole areas of light where there is no light sourse. It freaks me out still when it happens so I do not like to replocate it or play with it. My body natural bodily rythms get thrown off when I experience all these things and I have yet to be able to resolve the issues or kinks if you will. I will often get energy caused back, neck, head pain or knots. My vision will get diturbed for a while. My sleeping and eating habits get all rearanged. And sometimes it throws me offto the point of straight up hallucinations if I dont take proper care of myself. So these are just some of the strange phenomena I am dealing with 24-7. It would be very helpful to meet other people like myself. my email address is shollie87 at yahoodot com if you are interested in contacting me. Thank you for your time. hollie jean scott <shollie87 at yahoodot com> bedford, tx USA - Tuesday, August 10, 2010 at 02:34:14 (PDT)

I can't say this is a phenomena, but i can't keep a battery operated watch running. however i have worn a solar powered watch for three years and it hasn't lost one second. weird? i also live with my daughter and granddaughter. my grand and i have the very same phone. hers works fine but i have to go outside to get a decent signal. why is this do you reckon? rosella spoon <rpspoon46 at aoldot com> USA - Tuesday, July 20, 2010 at 07:44:37 (PDT)

I was looking up information because I have had this weird phenomenon ever since I died in 02 and came back. When I get very emotionally upset and touch a computer or look at it, the blue screen on a PC will come up saying the hard drive has been erased. It happened a couple of times and I never related it back, then in 2004 I was working in some bad conditions. Management was very threatening and working conditions were horrible. When management turned their rants on me at my station the "blue screen" on the PC would come up and the computer had to be replaced. This happened 4 times in a 2 week period with 4 different computers. I've had it happen with various laptops as well. About 6 months ago I was under a lot of stress with being laid off work and finding out some things about circumstances around my husbands death. I was visiting the person investigating his death and someone was playing a playstation. I started crying upset and the game on the TV faded to horizontal lines like interference started happening. The one guy talking to me was trying to calm me down then the other guy stated hitting the tv. The guy trying to calm me down told me to relax immediately. To stop crying now. Then told me something really startling like he's wearing woman's underwear which made me look at him and say what? He said calm down. The game came back normal. He asked me if I knew I was a natural born witch. I looked at him like he was insane. He is native american and started asking me if I've ever fried things when I'm upset. Blown light bulbs. Flickered lights or affected appliances. I told him about my previous issues with computers. He said his people would consider me a natural witch. That I need to keep my emotions in check or I could seriously cause some damage. Now I don't remember it before I died and came back, but it could happen. I wasn't around computers alot. Yesterday, my cell phone rang and a family member was calling who caused a lot of problems after my husband died. Let's just say she stole over 13k worth of stuff. Had me arrested on lies and caused many problems. Anyways, when my phone rang I was at my Mac. Now I bought a mac because they seem harder to fry than PC's. I got up and went to my phone and saw the read out then just got extremely mad and walked back to my MAC when I noticed a never before solid baby blue covering the whole screen. No mouse. No Widgets nothing. I immediately was like no no no and tried to calm down. It took at least 30 min before the computer would come back on. When it did it booted to the solid blue screen then went to the normal screen. This has led me to look into this. It seems as the longer away from my near death or death experience the stronger I become. Any help on this would be wonderful. email: red_headed_goddess_13 at yahoodot com Please only serious info or people who've had experiences and can give advice. Thanks.

Hello, My name is Julie Corbett, from Conception Bay South, Newfoundland. I have experienced super unual amounts of static electricity. In the past year and a half I have blew up two telephones and a stereo system just by reaching otu and touching them. I seem to harm the circuits in the telephone phone pad. I accidently tripped something inside my stereo when I touch the metal plugs in back. I don't know why I store unusual amounts of electricity at different times, but I can honestly report this started happening AFTER I started suffering hormonial changes in my body. I've seem to go through bouts of charging... It's werid, and often painful to me and whom I might touch. I've even shocked people on the lips!! It's odd how this reoccuring problem cropped up out of no where and often makes me phobic of reaching out to pick up and/or touch an object or person.

In August 2009 I saw a strange cloud above my house. I was like a funnel going up in the sky. My friend and I was looking at it because well we never saw something like that and also it was 'booming' thunder ecoing in the cloud itself. Then something strange started to happen, the air felt charge and the flashes in my vison but i couldn't directly see the flashes. At that moment I thought oh man we are fixing to get struck. Well everything went "crimson red" that is the best I can describe because I have never seen this color. I was knocked back from this. My friend saw a light hit the tree or the house but wasn't sure. My heart rate speed up and was worried for a min but I was sorta euphoric I didn't go to an ER or anything. Anyway I started to have problems and now have a neoro problem. I was in flip flops my friend in ruber boots (only thing i can think as to why i was affected so) Some doctors don't believe me, so do but my conditions is getting worse. I was told this was St. Elmos Fire by one doctor. All neighbors said is they heard a boom. I would really like to know if someone out there knows anymore about is and why this effected me so.

I found this site out of curiosity because over the past several months I've had some strange happenings. For about the past year, when I look at a digital clock there's always a pattern like 4:34, 11:11, 5:55 etc. If the clock has hands the hands are either right on top of each other or they split the face of the clock into equal halves. Over the past moth I've had strange occurences involved electronics and watches. My watches would always seem to run slow regardless of how many times I corrected it. Electronics including shredders, elevators, automated door openers, soda machines, etc. have stopped working after using them. One day I got really angry and was walking back into work and as I passed the generator outside all the lights inside the building went out. The day the same thing happened at my home except it was a transformer on the corner that blew and the energy people had to come out and fix it. In alot of the instances, the problem could be fixed by replacing the fuse. I definitely don't do these things on purpose but as noted in other comments it usually happened (more often than not) when I get very angry which really isn't that often.

televisions,computers,and satellite cable boxes turn off when i walk by or get upset or when i have emotional conversations. when i told my doctor he looked at me like i was crazy. its been happening since i was a child. the only thing ive found that suppresses it is cannabis. test this out for yourselves and see if it suppresses yours as well im curious if it will work for others as well. when it happens all you can really do is just apologise. can anyone explain this ????? jake johnson <canabis1 at rocketmail dot com> alton, il USA - Monday, May 31, 2010 at 23:48:18 (PDT)

I'm so glad I found this site and have similar experiences of my own. Once i was at school with a friend and i shocked him pretty bad. a couple of days later i could somehow tell if someone was watching t.v around my neighborhood. i can also think about a song on the radio then all of a sudden it is on another station. most of my friends think its cool because my reflexes are more developed because i can catch a small thing out of the air when the wind is blowing it fast. so email me if you can help me get through this. jason Phillips <bloo81z at gmaildot com> Elmer, N.J USA - Thursday, May 13, 2010 at 19:42:13 (PDT)

I'm a neutral person, I don't like to say things are definite and I don't like to say things aren't, I'm very open-minded, and after reading about SLI, it did get me thinking. In Arizona, in order to beat the heat, school starts pretty early, and we also don't have daylight savings time, so often during the colder season I walk to school in the dark. There's one street light that always turned off whenever I walked under it, maybe five times it didn't. I never really thought it odd, I always figured it was just coincidence. However, that's not the only odd effect I experienced with technology, my cellphone has a habit of randomly turning on and off, and taking pictures completely by itself, now the thing is old and stupid to begin with (it's the first and only cellphone I've ever had. I hardly use phones to begin with and don't text so I don't see a need for an upgrade), but this happens often. The light in my room also flickers almost every night, but the whole house might to do that so that's not very good evidence XD But I think the strangest of the phenomena is my most recent incident. I was working on the computer during a class and, like always, I had my purse on my lap. Now I got my purse from an army surplus store and it's made of strong but pretty durable fabric, just a little visual help for you. So I began to notice that the spot where my purse was resting on my leg was beginning to get hot, I have a habit of experiencing random, quick and sharp pains that have nothing to do with anything and I also get moments where random spots on my body will heat up, so I ignored it at first. However, the heat continued to increase to the point that it was unbearable. So I went digging through my purse to find the source and, originally expecting my cellphone, I pulled out the AAA battery I keep in my purse as backup for my MP3 player. Well, I really didn't pull it out since it was too hot to touch, so I threw it one the table. It cooled down after a while and I still have it now (not using it though) So, I asked my science teacher what might trigger the reaction considering it wasn't charging or hooked up to anything, but she had no answer, I posted the question online but everyone said they had never heard of a battery heating up for no reason, especially to the heat level I claimed it did. I joked with my mom that I must have had an electrical current in my body, but after reading about SLI I wonder if it could have been that. The human brain is an amazing thing, but as I said earlier, I'm remaining neutral on it until so one can prove it's existence and even then I still might be somewhat skeptic. The battery incident still has me wondering and according to the article, people's mood triggers the reaction, but for me, I'm always thinking intently (well, more intently then usual) in the moments when I get a reaction, but whatever Marka Marquez <UchihaKarasu at yahoodot com> USA - Friday, April 30, 2010 at 20:21:30 (PDT)

About 3 years ago, I lived in our school dorm for 2 months because we are reviewing for the upcoming local nursing licensure exam. Our room is air-conditioned and always at maximum level (coldest temperature). There was this time when I hold the faucet to wash my hands, I saw a electrifying strong blue light from the faucet to the tip of my fingers. It is quite painful but tolerable. The other day around, I was about to get my iPod from the laptop where it is being charged. But before touching the iPod, this electrifying blue light comes up again, this time, with sound!! My friend even saw it and she was terrified. This time, it hurts! I wonder what's wrong with me. I checked if I have metal in my body and I figured out that probably it's because of my belt. I don't know what kind of metal it is, but that metal is warm to touch even if I'm in cold temperature. I guess the metal absorbs the heat from my body which caused such incident?? I thought this thing would not happen again. Just few months ago, my friend and I are both in air-conditioned room and she was about to lend me a paper. Upon touching the paper, we both feel this electrifying static from the tip of our finger. We're both mesmerized, and I told her that probably she got that electrifying static from me. But at that time, I got no metal in my body! Everytime we are walking in mall, I won't let her get near me and touch my skin because whenever we have a skin-to-skin contact, I feel like there's a bunch of small needles sticking to my skin. She sometimes feel it, and sometimes doesn't feel anything. Unlike me, I always feel it with quite pain. I wonder what's wrong with me.

I have been trying to find information about this for a long time. I got my first watch when I was about 10 and it never worked for more than 5 minutes. It was one of the old wind up kind. My dad is the same way. He has also been shocked by lightening (not struck dead on) several times. I have noticed the street light thing also but I always assumed it was my car lights interfering with the sensors. I have also experienced a lot of the same phenomenom as the other posters such as having to replace light bulbs very often. I always have static in my clothes and my hair. I just thought everyone did. There is something else that I haven't seen anyone else post here. I have always had high electric bills. I have even compared with other people that have the same size house and mine is always higher. Anyone else experience this? Lisa ga USA - Monday, April 19, 2010 at 15:39:04 (PDT)

I get shocked constantly by almost every thing I touch. In the last few years I have resorted to closing vehicle doors by kicking them closed trying to avoid being zapped. Last year I stopped to get gas in my car. When I got out of the vehicle I had been shocked 3 times before opening my gas tank. I twisted the cap off as usual, then almost immediately flames flew out of my gas tank. I freaked out and ran to the attendant to tell the to turn the emergency pump off. I realized later that the gas cap left a melted half circle on my hand. I cringe any time I get ready to touch most things. Quite frankly I am sick of it.

I just discovered this page, 9 years after the last addition. Several years ago I suddenly started burning out watch batteries, which had never happened before. I kept getting new batteries and burning them out within 24-48 hours. I mentioned this to one counter clerk, asking how old the watch batteries for sale were, and she said, "Shouldn't be a problem with these batteries; they're new. But I burn out watch batteries. You might just do that too." I finally bought a solar powered watch, which works nicely. This is in arid Colorado, so the dry climate might be part of it. Also, since then I was diagnosed with severe lead poisoning from old water pipes that were corroding. The lead's been chelated out now, but I've wondered if the increasing lead back then might have been what triggered it; I was getting the first severe symptoms at the same time that the battery draining started. Also, there's a funky kind of touch therapy called SHEN therapy that is hypothesized to work by strengthening the body's electromagnetic fields. For what it's worth, I'd give anecdotal testimony that it works -- on non-humans, too. ("Work" as in promote deep relaxation and thereby some pain relief, and reported meditation-type states, and to stimulate peristalsis!) It might be worth googling. I'm convinced that all this is not supernatural at all, but just not yet properly understood.

Hoy mi esposo me pidio el favor que lo llevara en su coche a una reunión pues no creia que encontraría parqueadero, al dejarlo y despedirme de el me paso un corrientazo; el me dijo que hace días le estaba pasando. El clima en nuestra ciudad por estos días es muy caluroso y nuestra casa tambien esta muy calurosa. Me preocupa porque el utiliza mucho el coche es un Ford Scape y habla mucho por celular pues sus negocios asi lo exigen. Lo poco que es leido sobre el tema me llevo a decirle que se quitara los zapatos y caminara un rato descalzo en casa y que saliera al jardín para que le ayudara a descargar toda esa energía. ¿Eso es bueno o que otra cosa puedo hacer para ayudarlo?. Muchas gracias por su ayuda he leido detenidamente todo el informe sobre el tema y vere que puedo aplicar entre tanto. Gracias por la ayuda que me puedan brindar.

I've always had trouble with shocking people or myself when touching door nobs, etc. I have to touch something metal to ground myself before using a computer and I stopped wearing watches years ago. The most recent weird thing that happened is that I went into a Fry's electronics store with my Fiance and there is a very large Jacob's Ladder incased in glass in the back of the store. The electricity only goes up about half way, but as I walked towards it (stupid... I know) The current started going higher and highter and getting very large. Finally it sparked and made a loud noise and all the hairs on my arms stood up, then it turned off. We were in the store for about an hour and it didn't turn back on until I was near the exit. It is kind of a running joke now. Whenever we have friends over, we visit the Fry's electronics store so they can watch me disrupt the Jacob's Ladder.

I get electrically shocked in my sleep. Sometimes I sleep with my eyes open, enabling me to see things I would have missed otherwise. When I was 18 I saw a dancing orange light, realized it was out of the ordinary, and forced myself awake to see that the motor on the box fan in the window had seized and caught fire. I jumped up and yanked the electrical cord from the wall. Other times I've seen things very uninteresting but a few months ago I saw something I can't forget. I had been receiving what felt like electrical shocks while sleeping. It seemed that only the parts of my body that were uncovered by my bed covers were receiving shocks. The last time it happened was the most alarming shock I had ever received. At the very moment that I felt a hugely strong shock to my left index finger, I saw a jagged white line span the space between my finger and the DVD/VCR that was across the room. The white line was so bright for that instant that it lit up the entire room. I had been sleeping on my back with only my head and my left arm uncovered by my bed covers. My left arm was partially hanging over the edge of the bed and my left index finger extended slightly. How do I know this? I saw it in the light from the white line while sleeping with my eyes open. The white line shocked my finger leaving it feeling like it was burning for maybe 5 minutes and my whole left hand in slight pain. I jolted, got out of my bed, fully awake at that point, and went to the bathroom to look at my hand. There were no visible marks but I could still feel the burning and pain. I was more mad than surprised because I'm SO sick of getting shocked in my sleep because it sometimes takes me hours to go back to sleep afterwards. What is causing this??????

My daughter Emily is a 17 year old high school junior. In March of 2009, Emily was getting shocked at home and at school in her computer lab class. Some computer systems would shut down when she walked into the room. Sparks from the PC towers would jump out at her and loud popping sounds would occur when she would get shocked. The shocks cause burns, swelling and pain on her hands and wrist. Emily's cell phone, MP3 player, and other electronics shut off and turn on when she touches them. Emily was taken out of computer lab. Then Emily was shocked when she was puched in the school hallway and bumped up against some wall lockers. She became ill, vomiting and headache and chest pain and a large burn on her forearm. Emily was taken to the ER and had several tests, EEG, EMG, blood tests, the whole routine. Nothing was found. Emily is now in alternative school to be safe because anything metal shocks and burns her. Emily has seen a neurologist, a psychologist, a homeopathic technician. Now the doctors suggest that we see a dermatologist. We are frustrated and cannot find the right person to talk to or see Emily. She was shocked and burned on the 14th of December by the soap holder in the shower. The ER doctor gave her burn cream, a splint, some loratabs for pain and sent us home. HELP! We need some answers. If anyone knows of anyone else with this situation, please let us know! Clare Matthews <clare.matthews at grissom.af.mil> Bunker Hill, IN USA - Tuesday, December 15, 2009 at 13:01:22 (PST)

I blow things up, I can even be on concrete and shock things, I can't wear a watches , I blew up my sisters mixer , I've blown up phones ,and I blew up my coffee pot recently, and I can stand there and shock things like three times or more . when I shock the fridge or vcr it knocks me across the room sometimes , I've asked doctors what I can do about it and they look at me wierd , so I thouight I would ask you . What can I do about this? And the gold on my fingers make my hands turn black . Do you think it's because I shock things? I can even be bare foot and shock things. thanks and please write me back and see what I can do about this, thank you, kim kim weston <000westonlv1 at msndot com> helena, mt USA - Sunday, November 15, 2009 at 11:16:43 (PST)

I keep seeing what looks like a camera flashlight, in my room. Normally the flashing will occur late at night. They are reminiscent of the old flash bulbs we use to use on our cameras. It is weird!! Now my Sony flat screen is acting as a camera flash, as I am typing this message, the incident occured again. The tv is not on but flashes bright white.They usually last between two-three seconds. The other flashes are really bright and usually flash in my face as if some other entity is taking a picture of me. It freaks me out. I read one other story of someone else experiencing the same occurance-with flashing light, not the tv. Does anyone know what this may be? Or has anyone else had this experience?

I live in helena , my whole life has been odd, I try to be careful to what I touch, becuase I blow things up , and sometimes I dont even have to quite touch it, I have blown up telephones , vcr's, mixers, watches, and alot of the time I can feel my hair stand up, and I am scared of lightening, fear of being struck, I know it sounds all so silly , but this is my life , I went to alot of doctors and asked them who I could see about this and alot of them told me, they never heard of blowing things up , so I felt so stupid for even aking, well thank you for your time, for reading this letter, k.w. kim weston <westonlv1 at msndot com> helena, mt USA - Thursday, September 17, 2009 at 17:29:41 (PDT)

After another episode of blowing out my tv set and having tne nerve to tell my fiance oh I've done this all my life (we're still engaged, taking the risk he'll think I am nuts which is actually ok since he's psychologist LOL) I decided to look this up and to my surprise I am not alone. Whew! I feel better. I too explode lightbulbs, crash computers, registers at stores, etc etc etc.........if that isn't wierd enough I have dreams that come true, for example: I was living in New Jersey at the time and I had a dream that a building was on fire, I saw a fireman come out of the building , he was covered in soot and wiping his brow , removing his helmet while walking out under an archway . I heard many screams in Spanish yet, it took place in New York City. Three days later I turned on the news and saw a hispanic nightclub owned by Kathleen Turner and her husband burned down, and they showed the exact fireman coming out of the building which I saw in my dream. This kind of dream is different than the regular dreams, it's always in color and it's simple, short, clear. Wierd. I had them since I was 5 years old . Other little things happen too, my fiance was waiting for an importnat letter, he even sent the person a self-stamped envelope to mail the document back. I told him over and over it was accidently mailed to a different address he really should call the guy to make sure. He waited several weeks, well, guess what? The guy accidently sent it elsewhere and didn't use the self-stamped envelope, it arrived exactly where I said it would be.I wonder if this has anything to do with the electricity?? Thanks for listening. Georgieanna <geobattershell at yahoodot com> Chandler, az723 USA - Saturday, September 12, 2009 at 20:28:12 (PDT)

I'm just sick of getting "zapped" constantly....certain times of the year I have to wear sterling silver rings on my hands to discharge static electricity I attract when touching anything from metal door handles,car door handles,kitchen sink,faucet,tap handles, aluminium shower screen door surrounds, water in the sink, my MAC computer (aluminium frame), some lap top keyboards, farm gates,my husband, my cat, fridge handle even the odd light switch...it hurts and I am constantly wary of anything I touch that has a metal component. I have tried all the "cures"....humidity, foil, different clothes/shoes....I just want to know WHY ME?

Walking down aisles in grocery stores and canned good-bottles jumping out and breaking on the floor. Both of my grandsons are also electric people. I made sure that the cart was in the middle of the wide aisle and the grandsons held onto the cart. It was a military base and they had survelience tape of this-besides workers following me with a mop and dust pan-eye-balling us. I was very careful in getting things off of the counters. Watches regularly burn out- one jeweler thought that the person that had the watch was struck by lightening-because the wires were so fried. I give showers of big blue sparks. Animals seem extra attracted to me. My maternal grandmother was an electric person-and she was called a witch because animals liked her so much.

Last year (2008) I was sleeping over at a friend's house, when I started conducting extremely long electro-static sparks; the longest were near one and a half feet. I have since then done a Van De Graaf Generator project for school, and know that the sparks I was conducting were quite anomalous. My friend's brother Sam, also witnessed these sparks, so it wasn't just me. Here's the explanation I offer, but can't be certain about. First off, it was the middle of winter, and the humidity was very low, allowing better conditions for sparks. Secondly, I was sleeping in a nylon hammock, and I was wearing cotton/polyester clothing. Nylon and cotton/polyester, are far apart on the triboelectric series, allowing for good electro-static generation. My hypothesis is that when I moved around while attempting to fall asleep, I built up very high voltages of static electricity, with low amperage. When I would outstretch my fingers, and point at the nylon fabric of the hammock, long (but very thin) sparks would fly! It was truly incredible, and I was able to get sparks of unordinary length, well over a foot long! Amazed, I called up to my friend's brother, who was sleeping above me, and he too was able to see the long sparks. It was apparent that the sparks were of very low current because I could barely feel them, I could feel them though. All of this was very odd, and equally fascinating. I have never since witnessed the same phenomenon. MTC <mtc42 at gmaildot com> Sequim, WA USA - Sunday, August 02, 2009 at 20:28:43 (PDT)

Hi, first off, I'm glad there are others out there. I don't feel so weird now. I'm also afflicted with the electrical phenomena that many others have reported and it does run in my family. My grandfather and mother are watch stoppers too. It doesn't matter for me if its digital or wind up. Digital watches run backwards, display impossible time (ie. 84:76 or 1b:L0) or just random symbols. I had a Timex last for 5 years once, but the watch had a nylon band that kept the metal back from touching my skin. The one wind up watch I had stopped working. Upon attempting to fix it, the jeweler discovered that the inner works had been magnetized. He showed me by plucking up a little gear and letting it drop back into the case where it snapped to, like a magnet. My grandfather had a bunch of defunct watches that I inherited when he died. Where the metal contacted his skin, the metal was corroded. He was never able to wear a watch for more than a few months. I have a really high acid content in my skin. I strip electroplating off of jewelry, even ones that claim to be impossible to corrode. It only takes a few days. I even pit gold, 24 karat gold! Silver has been the only metal that hasn't given me trouble. I can polish silver by just rubbing it between my fingers. I polished my grandmother's silverware like that recently. I also had a friend that owned a jewelry store, I polished the silver jewelry the same way. I could wear a stubbornly tarnished piece for the day and bring it back shined the next morning. I once bought a blue colored onyx pendant. I wore it for a few months and the blue color gradually faded to dove gray. I didn't like it gray, so I took it off and put it in the headboard cabinet of my water bed and shut the door. months later when I was cleaning it out I came across the pendant again. It was blue again! So I put it back on. Within 48 hours it was back to gray again. I gave it to a friend who was into finding out how things worked. I lost contact with him and never found out what happened to it. I have been tested for hearing at a job I had at Tropicana. The technician in charge of the hearing test kept asking me if I was absolutely sure I heard the sounds I said I could hear. She even called others in to see. There was an audience, including the supervisor. After a horribly long and incredibly uncomfortable time they finally came in and said that the sounds I was hearing were at the extreme high and extreme low ranges of sound and that I shouldn't have been able to hear them at all. However, the mid-range seemed to have been "blown out" (in the supervisor's own words) and that I wasn't hearing sounds at the conversational level...and here my mom always thought I just wasn't listening.LOL! The thing is that I absolutely can hear the sound a tv makes when the picture is on but the volume is off. It is unnervingly loud and the high-pitched whines (there are usually 3-5 distinct tones at once) really hurt my ears. They make my teeth feel like they're vibrating! I remember running like hell through the Montgomery Wards electronics isle when I was little and getting yelled at by my parents who insisted that there was no high pitched sound coming out of the bank of tv's. I learned to plug my ears but walk. TO this day I avoid the electronics department. That sound gives me migraine strength headaches. The LCDs aren't as bad. I have to be right on top of one to hear it, which is why all of my tube tvs and monitors are gone. Bass does the opposite, making me dizzy and sometimes sick. Its more of a ticklish sound. I enjoy bass- however, I can't play it. My ex was a bassist. If I touched his guitar while it was on, I'd get shocked. My electric guitar shocked me too, especially if I touched it with the inside of my forearm. Ouch! I once gave a one armed hug to the guitarist who was drenched in sweat with his guitar on. The shock made my knees wobble and sent out a hell of a spark. I didn't go near him when he was plugged in again. I don't sweat much. In fact I don't sweat enough to stay cool, subsequently I have a very high normal temperature. I usually run 98.9 in AC while relaxed, but it jumps up to 99 if I'm active (in AC). If I go outside in the Florida heat for more than a few minutes, my temperature starts to climb rapidly and I end up running a fever and getting sick. I only mention this because I wonder if it has something to do with the electrical thing... The earliest recollection of me vs. electricity was when I was 4 or 5. I was playing with a matchbox car in the track of the sliding glass door. It was raining cats and dogs outside, so much that the rain made kind of a lake on the driveway, touching the track of the door. Lightning struck the driveway and traveled through the water, the door frame and the matchbox car, right into my fingers. I was thrown back into the room. I remember scrambling up on my grandpa's lap. At 14 my best friend was going through the "I'm gonna kill myself" faze. I got so sick of hearing it that I said "not before me!" and jammed a silver wire into the plugged in cord for my radio. It threw me off of the bed and onto the floor when I (according to her) wasn't breathing for a minute. I woke with a gasp and a thundering heart. Everything was shaky for about 30 minutes, but then it went away. She stopped the suicide chatter. 2 years later I was running from my car to my boyfriend's house during a thunderstorm. I had just grabbed the wet storm door and opened it when lighting hit the tv aerial who's broken wire had been swinging around for god knows how long. It just so happened to touch the top of the door frame at the same time. The burst of bright light was the last thing I saw until my boyfriend's brother picked me up off the ground. My biggest concern was that my pants were wet and I looked like I had pissed myself. I guess my head was a little scrambled, or maybe I was just being a typical teenager. I also got shocked from touching my boyfriend while he was working on the car stereo once. He thought it was funny. I also worked at a place that decorated fake Christmas trees. I had to weave 8 boxes of lights per 8 foot tree, over and under the metal branches. Every few lights on the cheap light sets had exposed metal parts. Oh, did I mention that I had to weave these lights while they were plugged in so that I could tell if the lights were working or not? That was the rule, I had to follow it. I got shocked so much that it didn't even hurt anymore, it actually kind of felt good. The work cat tended to avoid me like the plague because he decided to twine though my legs and the legs of the metal folding chair that I sat on when I got a really hard jolt. The cat took off like a shot. I didn't see him again for days after that. Every time I go to the grocery store I get shocked mercilessly from static. It doesn't matter what foot ware I have on. Most of the time I wear Chuck Taylors, so its not that I'm not wearing rubber soles. My mom has the same problem, only I actually throw tiny lightning bolts off of my fingertips to the shelves when I'm reaching for something. I've gone through several cell phones, one just simply wouldn't come on one day. I lost all of my contacts, so now I keep them in a regular old phone book. The same thing has happened with my computer. It was a fairly new mac. One day it just wouldn't come back on. The drive was fried. I've replaced 2 power supplies in my PC and I'm not bothering to replace it again. Its just sitting there waiting. I have all kinds of weird computer problems and have been blamed for the computer problems at work. The main layout computer that wss NEXT to where I sat seized up one day losing us the whole magazine- a month's worth of work, right on deadline! I had to put in a really long couple of days to redo everything. Now I work from home. I guess the boss decided that it would be cheaper in the long run. My life isn't really interrupted by this electrical thing so far as I can tell. Its just interesting.

Hello from USA. I had a strange experience several years ago that has haunted me since. I was lying on my back in a diesel truck sleeping bunk, to sleep, and had what I suppose was a "lucid dream": I startled a little, but was unable to move my arms, and recognized sleep paralysis. As I tried deliberately and angrily to shake it off, a floating human shaped body, like my own, but made of electricity, looking like the static on empty TV channels, hovered above me. I was entranced by it, and had a strange desire to touch it. I managed to move my hand to touch it and was repaid by the most fearful and painful electrical shock! I blacked out I suppose, and woke again, in the same bed and cab, but with no strange manifestations present. I could move at will, but felt drained and very heavy, and somewhat sore. Recently, I looked up this site after having electrical problems in my house. Some lights had been flickering, and several circuits variously went off and on without flipping any breakers, and in the meter box outside, the breaker repeatedly arcked to the iron bar it is mounted on, even burning it in a couple places. Momentarily before that happened (a blackout of all circuits in the house,) I got a strange electrical feeling all in my body, like static electricity. My hair was staticky, my small hairs on my neck stood adn my cheeks felt clammy, I felt tingly for a moment. Then, the lights were put out. The electrical outage seemed readily explained by the corrosion on the breaker switch mounting bar, and was remedied with a file and dielectric grease. But why did I get the strange sensations? BTW my mother used to stop mechanical watches in short order but could wear quartz watches without incident.

Electrical shock, 1st degree burn is the diagnosis. Sin the month of March 2009, Emily has been shocked in her school's computer lab and receiving burns on her hands, wrists and forearem. Besided shutting down the computers, her presence in other school rooms has fried a printer when retrieving a paper. This past week, her hand was in betwwen the PC and monitor, and the sparks of electricity jumped at her burning her wrist. The burns are not the only problem; excessive swelling, discoloring of the skin, knots, tingling, numbness and headaches. At a bowling tournament, the ball return shocked her when she picked up the ball. The signs of electric shock are visible to where you can see where the charge went in to her body. Doctors are "baffled", their word, not mine. No one I have found seems to know why she is attracting electricity to this extent. Your article is the best I have read.

i have a dustless drywall sanding unit. it works by drawing the dusty air through an enclosed bucket of water.the water removes the dust expelling clean air. this is done with an industrial shopvac.two things changed. i replaced the plastic shopvac with a metal one&used duct tape to fix the fitting on the old water bucket. after sanding for two hours,i streched the plastic hose to clear the dust. when i touched the duct tape,the current entered through my right hand, traveled accross my shoulders,down my leg&out my left foot. ihave suffered cracks in the skin of my left foot off&on ever since. cheryl a. warner <fourwarnersworld at yahoodot com> winamac, in.

When my grandson hold an electric tester, it goes off, making noises like it was stuck in a live socket. Any one know why this would happen, we have tried it with many other people and no one else sets it off.

My name is Andrew and I am almost 19 years old (birthday in 3 days) and I have found this site because I have discovered that I am electric. I am not static electric with the sparks like some, but I am psychic electric with the prophetic dreams and such. I have recently been turning off street lights and breaking the fluorescent lights in mine and my friends dorm rooms. I have also broken 2 phones and have begun to drain the batteries of my friends computers. I have also turned off alarm clocks if I am too close. I also have a watch that I have had for 4 years and it has a 1.5 volt battery, which should have needed to have been replaced by now, but it is still working. I brought this up with my mother, afraid she would think I was crazy, and she actually confirmed it. She told me when she was younger her watches would always run really fast and that she has had premonitions also. And that I have, since being a child, have been able to countdown to when a traffic light would change. I also believe that I can might traffic lights change. My mother said I need to develop this and learn to use it.I don't want to simply suppress it if I can actually harness the power and help people. I was wondering if someone could help me. Thanks.

When I wear a watch, It stops, (One watch always stoped at 11:30). Sometimes they just slow down until they quiet. I also blow things out when I touch them, mostly alarm clocks. Sarah Hill Watertown, SD USA - Sunday, March 15, 2009 at 14:20:26 (PDT)

Dear sir, I m so glad that at last somebody is out there to believe my unusual phenomema developed a few years back.I tried to work out myself why this happening to me only and not others???My problem is that whenever i touch any living or non-living i get zapped.a fear psychosis now developed that i dont touch even my clients,friends,microscope(unwired),fridge(either on or off)etc.It is zapped unsuspecting(hap-hazard).I tried to find the cause in the websites following their advices but no remedy though my problem is quite peculiar than what theirs is.Since my childhood i was extra-sensitive to electric current when others dont feel a pinch.These days i m zapped(3-4 times daily) more than other times. Please let me know what is actually happening to me and what will happen to me.Am i becoming an alien or not of this world??? Thanking you.

In Summer 1991 I had a VERY close encounter with lightning (still alive). Since then, I've had a couple of seizures (very seldom), really bad migraine headaches, VERY bad insomnia, and (among other things) static discharge issues. I have repeatedly destroyed computers, radios, TVs,and phones. Yes, there are people who naturally build up static electricity, and have the same problems with sensitive electronics. I never put all of this together until I underwent a sleep study, where the lightning strike issue came into conversation. My sister and I have both had numerous "close calls" with lightning. Reason? "Electric people" somehow build up either positive or negative ions in their bodies that attract opposite charges. BTW- people with lighning strike histories- Dr MaryAnn Cooper, University of IL, has done some great studies on us- worth reading! Static solutions? I bought a 12-pack of cheap washcloths at Wal-Mart, along with a LOT of Downey fabric softner. I put some Downey and water (60/40 mix) in a 5 gal plastic bucket and soaked the washcloths overnight. I put some cloths in my closet, in the car, in the laundry room, etc. Seems to help a little and also smells pretty good. I also bought some rubber doormats and ran copper wire through a hole punched into the mats, then to a nail I pounded into the wood sub-floor under the carpet. Works ok...not great. Also ran some cheap copper wire from the bottom of the car, an let it drag on the ground- just like the static arresors on airplanes! Hope these tips help someone, somewhere.

I have always been cursed by static electricity. I get shocked so much it becomes irritating. As I have gotten older I have tried my best to adjust to the problem. I keep a big supply of static guard and spray my clothing inside and out before I start my day. Before I open door knobs, I hit the back of my hand against them to take the shock. If I am on a treadmill at the gym, I constantly smack the metal with the back of my hand to keep myself from building static. When I get up in the morning, I know before going outside that it is a windy day. I can feel it somehow, it’s hard to explain. Maybe the humidity changes when it’s windy. I was reading on this site, that humidity has a lot to do with it. On windy days I take a bottle of static guard with me. For some reasons the static electricity isn’t as bad during the summer. I can attract Styrofoam to my hands when it gets real bad. My friends think I am weird sometimes when they see me spraying my clothes. I am 23 and it has only gotten worse as I get older. I am sick of spending around 4 dollars a can on static guard, but if I don’t use it, my clothes stick to me and I will be so uncomfortable I will go home to get out of the static. If I am getting a lot of static and put on a sweatshirt in the dark, you can see the sparks. If anyone has any suggestions, on how to help my static situation out, I would love to hear from you.

The Appearing Disappearing Conditioner I couldn't explain what happened October 13, 2008. We ran out of conditioner. Tuesday I used none which sucked. Wednesday we had a brand new bottle of the normal brand we always get, I remembered because I was mad that my parents didn't buy new shampoo since there was only a little amount left. So Thursday I took a shower, and there was no conditioner, but instead was a new bottle of shampoo plus conditioner. Which looked a lot different then what we normally buy. I was kinda angry because shampoo plus conditioner doesn't work well. I figured my little siblings wasted the conditioner or something. But when I asked my parents about it they swore they never bought any conditioner, and it was nowhere to be found. I remember it so clearly because of me being upset they didn't get shampoo. My parents wouldn't believe me and thought I was on drugs or something lol. But damn that was strange. It had me questioning myself, my memory, and even my sanity lol. Its like the oddest most insignificant "paranormal" thing that has happened to me. After thinking about this for awhile I recalled my father buying, or at least I thought he had bought shampoo and conditioner, of which I've seen. But he said he didn't, and I Couldn't find it anywhere. So I figured I was mistaken, went out, and bought some more, and didn't think twice of it until that day. Why are these instances related to shampoo, and conditioner, I do not know. But now I think maybe it was this guys theory, and I passed threw different dimensions.

Electrical Issues As a child I remember driving in the back seat of my mothers pinto at night . As we would drive down a street the lights would go out. Later in life I noticed when I go into a grocery store lights would dim or lights in produce where they keep organic items would go out . Lights will flicker in stores. Appliances always die with no reason. I've had to replace more Tv's, lightbulbs , microwaves , blenders etc ... then I can count. I also have noticed a issue with cars. Examples .... When I get into a car almost always something will go wrong with it. The check engine lights will come on. Cars will die while driving . My first car would stop working while driving. My second a passport started having problems as soon as it was purchased. Check engine light would always come on. Windows would stop working along with radio , heat and AC. My boyfriends brand new trailblazer never had any issues until I started riding in it. Same thing... check engine light , window , AC , heat , radio , lights and car will dim while we are driving. He just had it inspected and it cost 1300 to fix everything but could not find any reason why these things were happening. TV's in house (every house I've lived in) will sometimes turn on and off for no reason. Every computer I have ever owned starts acting strange or dies . Light bulbs are always going out . In one case in a apartment I lived in they would blow out one at a time in order within a day or two apart until every bulb was blown. In every home I've lived outlets in the house will stop working. Currently in my home now three outlets have stopped working for no reason. We had them tested and electricity is running though and same thing in my old apartment. Also no matter where I live our electric bills are outragious which makes this all very frustrating since being disabled and low income. Everywhere I have lived has frequent outages. I have only recently made a connection to everything. Would love to know more. Would like to know how many people have this and have been diagnosed with either epilepsy or multiple sclerosis. I think it should be looked into more. I found a book called The Electric Shock book by Michael Shallis. Maybe someone else would like to check this out. In 2005 I was diagnosed with Multiple sclerosis . Since I have MS I lost my vision and it came back in only one eye . I am unable to drive or return to work. With Ms comes heat intolerance. I am always hot but have a low temp as normal. As a child till now I can sometimes hear lots of voices in a quiet room . (my boyfriend can also hear this) Also seeing black shadow like things or strage feelings of being watched. This could also be caused by MS but thought it might be worth mentioning. I have extreme pain especially in back and head which has lead to a prescription of Percocet I have been on since 2005. I can not tell if it has made the electrical issues better or worse so I guess no difference. I think it is a emotional thing. I can't think of anything else to add at this time but I hope it helps someone else. Heather <sinnaminika at gmaildot com> PA USA - Tuesday, February 03, 2009 at 08:24:00 (PST)

okay I am so glad that I am not the only one with this problem. Although I've read whats on here and mines not really in the catagory. I haven't had any problems until I got my ZUNE, an mp3 player, I think I may have over charged it and thats what started my problem.I have constantly been shocked by anything and everything. Also the other day I was petting my cat and I made a constant beam of electricity. I'm also physic. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to handle this or fix? fallen angel <itachihinataluver at yahoodot com> USA - Monday, February 02, 2009 at 16:39:26 (PST)

Wow your stories are amazing. Mine is not nearly as dramatic an effect. Is there a name for a human who can shut down electronics by touch or by their mere presence other than 'electric people'? I can do this on a small scale. My lap top, Ipod, GPS in the car, TV, cell phone, microwave and the electrical panel indicators in the car are all effected. Forget about wearing a watch, Digital or analog. Happens more often in winter and the items eventually turn back on by themselves (if I leave them alone for a few hours).On a few occasions I have completely fried an IPod, the electrical mother board of my stove, and a digital camera. There has been a strange caste or halo on pictures created with some digital cameras that I use. The lab people are completely confused as to what this is as they've never seen anything like it. It's an orange- yellow color and it borders faces and objects.Doesn't happen when anyone else uses the camera. Outside my family I don't tell anyone about this -- until now. I just think people will think I'm nutty. Today it's happening a lot as a matter a fact. My husband theorizes that I create these power surges and it may in fact be due to a heart anomaly I have. My family won't let me touch any of their personal electronic devices. When it happens at my job it really is a nuisance as I can't get work done at my computer. I am a nurse and part of the time I assist in developing community based health clinics. . Any info on this would be greatly appreciated. If this weird ability could be used for good I'd be grateful for it but for now it's just a weird and annoying thing I'm capable of. I did have an electric shock around age 30. I was thrown to the floor by touching (with a wet hand a stove that wasn't grounded). After this I soon developed a heart arrythmia and this strange phenomena. diane aubie diane aubie <diane at dianeaubiedot com> toronto, ontario,canada Canada - Saturday, January 31, 2009 at 14:46:29 (PST)

Well first i would like to thank this wonderful site for answering my questions...i was all puzzled about the problems i was facing until i visited this site....i often meddle with electronic things and have got shocks a few times from them...maybe this problem is an after effect....i have been lately going through many weird things...firstly none of the bulbs in our house work especially the yellow ones don't work at all(also i'm sensitive to yellow lights and end up with a headache) and keeps fusing out....my dad keeps getting a bulb almost everyday but as soon as i walk by them 'Poof' it immediately goes out and I'm left wondering what happened... The next one is the problem with Watches they stop working as soon as i wear them....i keep changing batteries but as soon as i wear them they start to slow down and then go completely dead i have already changed batteries numerous times Well recently another extremely weird thing happened...my mom, niece and i was having a chit chat in the garden and my mom asked me to switch on the pedestal fan(made of metal) it was totally switched off....i went up and as soon i was about to touch it i got a shock from it....it was a totally weird feeling i felt a magnetic shock feeling and a small vibrating sound like that of an electronic thing....then few minutes later i touched my mom and she got ZAPPED and the vibrating electric 'ZZZZZZ' sound was again produced all could hear it Also for sometime now i have been having weird feeling all over my body chills around my thighs, arms and spines like that of an electric conductor...more such bizarre things happening lately once i have entered adulthood(never really had them before)....i don't know if it's weird or enjoyable some kind of special power to be proud of lol!

I discontinued use of the alarm clock I was using because the time would change on its own. I then replaced it with a clock radio with a projector built in. I don't know why they decided to design it with the projector having it's own timekeeping device independently set from the main. Nevertheless, last night, I woke to the alarm when the projector said 4:20 a.m. The main said 6:27 or something. I set the wake time for 6:25. Needless to say the main time had skipped; acting just like the clock I just replaced. I have a girlfriend who tells me that when we are intimate she feels electric pulses from my body. I have been around the world and had many women. They all have told me that. Lately the phone rang, I answered, there was nobody on the other end. I looked at the caller I.D. It said "Shawn" (not the real name, changed to conceal identity.) We called back one Shawn we knew, he said he did not call. Next thing, the other Shawn called. We asked him if he called, he swore up and down he didn't. I saw his name. This computer here is acting funny as if it has a virus or something. I just finished a scan. It came up clean. I saw this man's name on the caller I.D. before he called, and then he did. I am not making this up, this scares me. I work fast food and some of the timers have been resetting themselves when I operate them. Funny thing is: a 420 is police code for a marijuana offense, and just lately I have cleaned up from smoking. Funny the time set itself ahead to where the projector's time said 4:20 a.m., isn't it? I am beginning to believe that the weed was squelching some sort of psychic electrotelekinesis or some shit. What will happen next? Please someone give me some insight. I don't want to go mad. This all started when I stopped smoking pot for the first time in seven years. Annonymous <ironwrendt at charterdot com_> Madness, crazy USA - Monday, January 19, 2009 at 22:23:08 (PST)

I burn out lightbulbs when I am angry or just when I am charged with energy. Anything with batteries stops working when i touch it. I have even been accused of draining a car battery.and sometimes stero's and tv's malfunction around me like turn on by themselves or make strange (voltage like) noises when i walk past them even when they are off. I have also had coffee cups shatter in my hands. What the heck is going on with me.? someone help please!!!!

I am constantly getting shocked when i touch things. Plastic, steal, people, and even water. I cant wear a watch because i kill the battery. It doesnt matter if its cold,hot,rainy,clear, anytime at all. It doesn"t matter what i wear or if i am barefoot. Any where, at home, in the car, stores,on tile floors, or any where you can imagine. I cant get it to stop. If you have any comments email me at paulmoresi2001 at inboxdot com paul moresi <paulmoresi2001 at inboxdot com> Chandler, az USA - Friday, November 07, 2008 at 00:31:11 (PST)

I have many weird things about me that no one else knows i want to tell someone, but they sound like i am crazy I have shut down our entire schools electricity by accident while in a meditative state, also i have found that i can meditate in such a way that i stop breathing, thinking, and possiblyother functions of my body. I used to spoon bend as stupid as that sounds but when i taught someone else i found that i couldnt do it any more but they could. i enjoy electricity and i feel little pain , and my mom has been shocked by high voltage man times, once by lightning, once by commercial outlet, once by house wiring/ basement flood, once by lightbulb,the list gos on and on unless me and my mom drink water intently, and without distraction it always sprays out of the cup and gets water in our eyes for no reason. sometimes i see weird things like people climbing up things and flying off of them, but those are probably halluycinations, if i ever put a peice of paper in front of me and i wright onit whatever i wright unconsiously is genius and wonderful, but if i try to wright i suck, i and many of my friends see weird red hands or other things that others cant see i can see auras. and isaw beautiful creatures dancing around me and playin beautiful msic ithink they were angels. tiger cheiman <wuggums47 at gmaildot comma(remove the extra ma)> USA - Tuesday, November 04, 2008 at 12:55:10 (PST)

For years I have disrupted and broken many electric and battery-operated objects. One, in particular, is my keyless entry car alarm. From the first day, it has never worked correctly for ME. I've taken it to the dealer twice and other people have used it. Everyone seems to make me look like a liar because it works for them. I've broken cell phones, cordless phones, radios. When I am in the bedroom the remote will not work correctly. I have to leave the room for my husband to use it. I was at my neighbor's home one day when her husband came in from outside and blamed her for messing with stereo, which was hooked up inside/outside. It was my presence in their home which sent it haywire. I resorted to a solar watch. It works great.

I found this site while trying to figure out what my problem is. When I was around 4 years old, I discovered a little metal panel in the floor of my old house in New Jersey. I opened this, and stuck my hand inside. I received a powerful vibrating shock from some AC wires carrying current inside. I was not at all harmed and actually enjoyed the sensation. When I was in elementary school, I used to sit down at my chair every day, only to have my hand shocked from lightly touching the metal legs. At age 10, I spontaneously developed an extreme passion for circuits, magnets, and all things electrical. But recently, one of my good friends showed a portable device used to test outlets and household wiring for live AC current. I messing around with it and I held it in my hand. Suddenly, I heard the rapid beeping and saw the flashing red light of an LED, signaling contact with an AC current. Curious, I found that if I pinched the prong meant to be stuck in an electrical outlet between my fingers, the wild beeping resumed. I tested the device on DC current, and got no response whatsoever. I then tested the batteries of the AC detector and found that they had more volts than they should. I asked my friend to try to get a signal from his own fingers, and nothing happened. I read the label on the device and saw that it only worked in a range of 50-1000 volts, AC only. Jack PA USA - Tuesday, August 26, 2008 at 18:56:00 (PDT)

Hi, Something very strang has happen to me about an hour ago when I was in my mum's garden,surrounded by my family.My dad has a fox terrier that I really love playing with.Just as I was sitting on the chair the dog came near me asusual but just as I touched its nose I got a small electric shock.But the strange thing is that the dog backed away(like jolted on all four legs)and ran away from me terrorised.He just acted so strange.Everybody saw what happened and when I told them I had a small shock they just laughed.They just told me that I must have accidently stepped on its foot and the dog reacted.At this time the dog remained terrified of me and like shaking.After a while my dad went to bring the dog near and told me to touch it again to see how I had been mistaken.But believe it or not(I still can't believe it myself)it happen again.This time the dog ran and went to hide in an old cupboard in the garden shed.A thing dad's dog never done.He remained there shaking.Mum tried to tempt him with icecream,as he goes mad for ice-cream,but still he would not come out.I did not dare touch the poor dog again today.I just don't know what happened.Can someone please explain to me what happen as this has never happened to me before.

I have always had a problem with static electricty, constantly receiving shocks off anything metal, and know even plastic! But the worst incident has to be when I was working in the lighting department of a department store. I was removing a light from the wall and so turned the electricity off in the panel I was working on. However as soon as I held the connector block ready to unscrew the wires I received a massive shock and the light exploded. There was a huge shower of sparks, part of the screwdriver melted, and the power went out in half the department. When the electrician was called down he could not work out what had happened, especially as none of the fuses had blown. As the power was turned off there should have been no way in which this could have happened. It was eventually decided that the shock I received was the only way it could have happened. The electrician had to pull up half the floor to finally put the power back on. Kathryn Parrott UK - Thursday, July 10, 2008 at 11:50:24 (PDT)

Ok i think it starts from when i was about four i was messing with our washing machine and it gave me a huge shock hitting me against the wall. Ever since then anything electrical would short out or completely turn off. When i was in school if i got nervous or was completely happy the lights would flicker only if i was around,and one time when i was angry cuz a teacher was gona fail me the lights in the room shorted out and the lights in the hallway flickered on and off. Also for some weird reason i can actually see the lights flicker and i'll ask my friends did ya see that and they look at me like i'm crazy and say no I would like to know why this happens pls email me if you have answers John Fletcher <archangel_drada at yahoodot com> USA - Monday, July 07, 2008 at 19:35:32 (PDT)

I know what all you people are talking about with the extra static. While i have never perminately broken watches thgey seem to go through batteries really fast and never keep the right time within a few days they will be off by a few minutes so in a couple of months they will be off by an hour or two. They stay like that after i get rid of them too or will slow down too much after i give them away. it doesn't seem to matter if they a digital or analogue. My cell phone doesn't always work right in my pocket people are always saying that the called me but i never recieve it. once i called someone on my way to see them and got their answering machine 10 min later i was talking to them in person their phone rung and it had my name on the caller id. my phone was in my pocket so we checked but i wasnt calling according to my phone. weird. T.V.s with antennas come in clearer when i get close to them and if i touch the antenna it gets crystal clear. I once had to hold a tv antenna for a 30min show cause it was the only way it would come in. If i touch a car antenna at home i could get D.C. radio stations that was almost 150 miles away. Should have been out of signal for a good 45 miles. the problem is when i let go it goes back to where it was. People often had me hold radio antennas cause when adjusting the radio im touching the knob so it comes in clear but as i walk away it gets fuzzy or vice versa there will be static as i walk to it and it clears as i walk away. I have never put out lightbulbs or anything but when i was a kid i would get hot at night and could light up the whole room if i took my pjs off just from the static. my hair never wants to stay down unless i use a lot of conditioner or rub dryer sheets on it. lol It also retains smells for long periods of time especially inscence. I have to use lots of dryer sheets in the laundry like 4 or 5 at a minimum cause static from clothes makes it a lot worse. you will see sparks from my fingers most certainly if i forget my dryer sheets. Odd thigs zap me like waterfountains, water itself, walls, wooden things, plastic handles, a brush while trying to brush my hair, zippers, when i was a kid my friends were at a museum and they were playing with that ball that has the eltricity in it they wanted me to touch it so i did normally it would only make someones hair stick up but i swear it came out of the ball and jolted me a good one. I dont think that is normal. my car door always gets me even if its raining, it doesn't seem to matter what im wearing. i shock people, pets, strangely enough door knobs don't normally do it but the door itself will no matter what its made of wood, metal, glass,etc. To avoid the pain i usually touch things with my leg or my elbow first it hurts there less than a knuckle. people do make weird faces when i touch my knee to the water fountain before taking a sip and they ask what are you doing i reply not getting zapped then they think im crazy. i showed one once but a shock to the lips from water hurts a lot but if i dont touch it first it will make a little bolt like zap at least 2 to three inches long before the water gets to my mouth. ouch. cellophane from wrappers sticks to me, cling wrap sticks to me, some other plastic wrappers stick to me, sometimes my hair will get stuck to my face,ive had someone elses hair stick to me lol, i have seen street lights go out as most people have said but i dont think it has anything to do with me personally i thought they were supposed to do that. note to everyone dryer sheets are your friend. I dont have as bad a problem as i had as a kid but i think the excessive use of dryer sheets may be holding it back. lol ashley <www.mech.chic84 at yahoodot com> USA - Friday, April 18, 2008 at 16:45:23 (PDT)

Good to read other peoples storys, I find it very strange whats happening, and why these shocks start. MY shocks started 3weeks ago, very sim to the rest of the other peoples stories. My computer crashes all the time, i get shocks from everything i touch around my home, and other people. i get shocks all day from almost everything i touch, the worst zap for me is from electrical sockets, even turning the kettle socket on, and getting my dry washing out of the dryer. Its a nightmare!!! Also strange in the 3weeks i have experienced this 3 light bulbs in my home have blown when ive gone to turn them on. Havnt had the experienc of the street lights blowing, but then again i havnt bin out at night. If any one is experiencing the same as me. I cant really get my head why this is happening deborah norton <(deb.norton12 at hotmaildot com,);;> england - Tuesday, April 15, 2008 at 03:56:28 (PDT)

I also turned out street lights, but I also happened to have a paper clip stick to my side. My body becomes magnetic. I think it has to do with chakras. Do you all believe in God or are spiritual. matt <wormzerjr at yahoodot com> new port richey, fl USA - Tuesday, March 04, 2008 at 15:01:10 (PST)

This is so funny. I am glad I found this website, because so many weird things have happened to me ever since I can remember, but whenever I try to tell somebody, noone ever believes me. Whenever I am in a bad mood, or my mind isn't thinking very fast because I am in a really angry mood, and I am on the computer, it runs realllly slow. Whenever I think really fast, like I know what I am trying to do, it actually goes fast. Also, when I think that I have figured something out, and I know what's going on, everything I touch, esp. the screws on the light switches shock me!! I can like see the blue flash coming from it. I am so used to it, that it sometimes makes me laugh. I don't understand why it only does it when i am in certain moods. When I am around everybody, it happens very very rarely. I have like even tried to put my hand up to the cmoputer when I feel like I have some kind of electrical charge in my body, to see if it will have that kind of effect that t.v. screens have when you put a battery or magnet up to it. But it hasn't worked. I just want to know what goes on when I am in certain moods, why it does it, but whenever I am in a different mood, it doesn't? I can also change my moods very often, and very well. Maybe that has something, or everything to do with it? Oh and also, I used to hang out with somebody who claimed that he was the devil's luck, or something like that, because every time we would go on the highway in my vehicle, the streetlights would go out. I never believed him, but I want to know if it is possible! Olivia <everything 2323 at netscapedot net> Clermont, IN USA - Tuesday, February 12, 2008 at 18:36:20 (PST)

I am so relieved to see many other "electric" people out there! I once brought a whole PILE of watches to a watchmaker, thinking they were all out of batteries. It seems a watch lasts only a few wears for me. After being told that it was NOT the batteries for each and every one, I gave up on wearing watches. I once threw a blue arc over 7 inches long from my fingertip to a metal door handle as I reached for it. I cannot pet my parents dog, as I shock the dog and myself as I stoke its fur, at a rate of about one shock per second. I can shock myself repeatedly as I walk through a grocery store if my hands are on a metal shopping cart. Just sitting and not moving, I collect enough to create a spark on any metal surface I touch. I have recently noticed a relationship between strong emotion, and the severity of the shocks. Interesting! I am afraid to plug in anything to a wall socket, as I usually get shocked. I have been electrocuted many times by appliances made of metal or chrome, just touching their surface. I enjoyed reading about others with this problem, now I don't feel so alone!

I just decided today to look this sort of thing up because earlier today I got got a huge shock when closing the car door. Let me just tell you, I get shocked 100% of the time touching anything metal and because of this I resort to touching the GLASS of the car...does it work? NOPE. Now also let me say this doesn't happen to anyone else, just me! There could be five people in the car, I get the shock! I don't like to hug people or touch people because I always get shocked and 60% of the time I am the one who feels the pain! I HATE doing laundry, just being close to the dryer before I open it makes me feel strange,then when I open it and pull stuff out, my hands hurt, like a dull pain deep in my hands and all my hairs stand on end, then I get a headache! I get shocked touching everything really, but not as certainly as metal. When I was younger I was scared of lightning storms, just like any kid, but now I am still scared, and I know it's because of this. I was outside one day just a cloudy day, looked like rain, I just stepped outside and I felt that same feeling as the dryer headache and all, I knew I shouldn't be outside, then my friend screamed "oh sh**!" followed by the loudest sound I have ever heard, my feet could not get me back inside fast enough that I seriously ran out of my flip flops!! haha I saw the flash of lightning and felt it too, like I can't explain, but it was right behind me just a few feet...out of all the places to land! I never plug things in because of the sparks that form, realy scare me, and if my everyday shocks hurt, I can't imagine those! And finally, like my hands are verry sensitive and I am very touchy feely. I am actually a massage therapist, and all my life people have realy enjoyed my touch, even as a child..I realy think this ties in because your nerves are electric your brain is electric.

I am a 30-year-old female. I get shocked when I touch things such as (but not limited to): water coming out of the tap, produce, flowers, and, of course, metal objects (i.e., my car door--EVERY time I open it from the inside [when I touch the metal frame, after I've pulled the handle) and electronics (i.e., I have twice shorted out a Sony Vaio desktop display). When I pick up my open laptop up (hands on either side of the keyboard) & carry it across the room, this often results in painful electric shocks to both hands. Plus, I'm ALWAYS shocking other people. It does seem to get worse in the winter. I'm thinking about taking electricitycentraldot com's advice & wearing a metal thimble all the time. staticwaif < staticwaif at gmaildot com> USA - Monday, January 28, 2008 at 20:31:57 (PST)

First off would like to say I am thrilled I found this site. I have found my class of people. That is the electric people. I am 26 and for the majority of my life I get constantly frustrated when it comes to electronics. I would consider my self ext technology advanced as well so there as see is a huge dilema. My exp good quality well rated laptops in the past have shut down for no reason costing me lots of money. Sometimes it scrambles wildly, gets stuck, screeches, forwards and backwards and enters here and there causing me to lose alot of unsaved written work and emails. I dont know what to do. Its frustration and i lose my temper and throw things. Ive seen my cell phone dial contacts by itself a couple of times, static there too of course, ive had instances dead battery less alarm clocks act as if it were a tape recorder repeating lines of things i would say..hm what else..Im extremely electric. I can hear it. When I awake i feel it in my body very high. So recently i learned something about Hands on Healing. Those of you who are exp what I am should check it out. Can turn the frustrations and energy imbalance into gifts/good use. As for other paranoma events, I would consider myself somewhat pyschic. Ive seen images, feel presences, sometimes hear it,done astral projection(all my life) naturally. Its very easy for me, but more powerful when i was a child. There is another topic Id like to add to this forum. I m wondering if anyone has similar experiences or can perhaps explain to me something anything ......Since a child, I always am prone to getting hit with balls. Esp. in gym class, its more than often a ball or two would come flying my way..sometimes with exp hard impact. When I am out at parks, frisbees, little balls, big balls, all would come flying my way. When i go to parks, I always make sure i scan the field and watch my back. Cause Ive been smacked pretty hard in the past..Once even sprained my thumb severely. I am wondering if any way this correlates to the electric part of me. Plese feel free to email me or share ur similar story. Anythign helps. =) arlene <ailing21 at hotmaildot com> USA - Tuesday, December 11, 2007 at 21:25:40 (PST)

This is a true story. I had never told it to anyone before but I moved here and told a good friend of mine. She was freaked out by everything and believed me because lights always flicker around me. It tends to be when I am most emotional, whether happy or sad, just very emotional. So she went online and searched and found this website, I decided to add my story also. Electrical problems tend to happen when I am near. One day there was a bad storm outside of my high school but all the electricity was fine. That day I had to get up to answer some sort of question and the second I got up and got all nervous and started speaking, a fuse blew up and the school lost most its electricity. My classroom being the first. When I went outside all the cars lights were going out of control, so I stepped back inside and they stopped. The second I went outside again, the cars lost it again. I always get shocks. Things always flicker around me. I also found that now, if I try, I can make storms go away. Small things like someones earphone zapping them right when I was thinking how much the loud music bugged me or an entire losing all its electricity until I calm down and other things as well. I guess I cannot say it all and some of the things are just hard to describe. But my mom also has something. She can move things. One time I was on the road with her and she started moving the wheel with her hands. Without touching the wheel. She can pick small things up like bracelets and ear-rings and pencils with just putting her hand inches from the object and moving somewhere else.

My niece walks by a cordless telephone and it sometimes rings on its own. She was diagnosed with PDD years ago and since then my brother and his wife have tried different treatments to no sucess. I had her do a hair analysis and the results were that she had 5 heavy metals that were outside the referance range. They were Antimony, Bismuth, Gadolinium, Tin and Uranium. I was wondering could these heavy metals have anything to do with static electricity and making the phone ring? She is now doing chelation therapy to remove the heavy metals. we'll see what happens.

I am often highly electric , I shock people and the I have been blowing out house lights left and right. I have blown almost all of my house bulbs by walking near, touching light switch etc. withing the last year. (even newly refreshed light bulbs) its happenning so often that it cannot be a coincidence any more and I am curious why this is happening to me?? Any insight?

I am so excited to have found this website, as I had only met one other person up until now with my problem. Any watch that I wear lasts only for a few days-initially speeding up time, before slowing down rapidly and stopping. I have tried old fashioned wind up watches, but they also stop working after a while, and can not be restarted once they die. When I have my cell phone in my pocket it dies within an hour; and even if I keep it in a leather holder in my pocket, it will not hold its charge for more than 8 hours, so have to keep it in my purse, so I miss a lot of calls. I have never had problems with lights or lightening that I know of; but have had quite a few psychic events. Maybe I'll get a land line phone and set up a psychic network! charlotte johnson <ctj at gmaildot com> USA - Saturday, August 18, 2007 at 08:55:31 (PDT)

I don't honestly know if I cause light bulbs to blow. I know I change a lot of them. And contrary to most, my watch batteries last forever! But I have other electrical weirdness. After moving into our house, the TV and computer both died within days of each other. The electric company said the lines were fine. I have gone outside to walk the dog, and come back in to find a lamp on that I never turn on. I have used the TV remote to change the channel, and had the stereo turn on. And today I was listening to a CD in the car when I heard a strange beep in the middle of a song. I looked at the display, and a radio traffic alert appeared. On the CD player! The song continued to play as though nothing had happened. So I figure someone or something wants me to know they're here. Really strange. If I didn't know better, I'd think I was losing it!

Electic Person I just left a report about myself in the Ball Lightning category. I too find that I may be an "electric person". I have the same affinity for electronics. Ever since childhood I have seemed to be able to talk" to machines to know what is wrong. Even without really doing anything. I used to fix my parrents VCRs, TVs, Phones anything at a very young age. They explained it off as me loving Legos LOL not sure where that came from. But this has carried into my adult life. I spent 9 years as a US Marine in Sat Comm / CPU repair. I excelled at the troubleshooting and would mystify my colleagues as I rarely used schematics unless to show others my work. I would just "know" where a problem was and fix it. I work in Telecommunications now as a Video Conferencing Engineer and A/V specialist. I am one of those people now that when I walk in a room everything works but the second I leave things seem to stop at times. This is especially frustrating because i get called to "stay" in the rooms for good luck while big meetings are going on. I am wondering if this is related to my dreams and paralysis and waking up with ball lightning seeming to hover over me.

for a while I could make any electronic stuff go haywire. It was mainly stuff that operated on radio waves, then I began to notice that it only happened when I was yelling and singing. I think it might be something to do with my voice, possibly my vocal freqency. By the way I met someone on another site like this who said he could see in the dark. I thought he had really good night vision but when I met him he demonstrated that he had thermal vision. This stuff we can do is amazing and a gift, never think otherwise. P.S We have tested each other and always have conclusive results and we have a list of other people like us. we try to help some of them if we can, since although we are young we have developed some control and have some interesting ideas about the origin of all our abilities. If you want more info or just want to share your own we would be more than happy to receive your emails.

ELECTRIC PEOPLE I thought I was the only person in the world with this problem. Firstly I have been struck by lightning 3 times, twice while driving, my car was hit and once when switching off the TV lightning struck my TV aerial and melted all the internal workings of the set. Computers hate me. I dare not use anyone’s computer other than my own, or it will not work correctly again. I get static shocks off my car and my cats. If I stand near an electronic till it invariably gives error messages. I went to the bank and while I was being served the whole computer system went down this has also happened in the job centre the building society and a huge warehouse that had about 15 till all running when I went to pay for one item. and all the tills went off line. I went to the local shop to get a lottery ticket and the machine went down while printing my ticket. The following day it was on national news that the machines for the whole of Stoke on Trent went offline at the same time. While talking to a friend on the phone in America (I’m in the UK) he was on the computer at a large organization, He suddenly said “Ooh” I asked what was up and he explained that all the computers in the room had gone off line with a system error. My local computer shop won’t allow me to approach their counter. I once went on a school visit at my children’s school and was invited to use one of the computers in the computer room, I declined saying “You really don’t want me to do that” I went to a job agency and when I typed my name in it crashed, so I was put on another computer, I typed my name in and that crashed too. I ended up filling in a paper application. Several years later my son went to the same agency on my recommendation and when he typed in his name the computer crashed the guy asked if he was any relation to me and was amazed when he said “That’s my dad” My council tax had to be worked out on paper for years because the computer threw a system error when ever they tried to process my account, and at one point they had me as living at the same address twice and tried to charge me double rent because their computer couldn’t cope with the data. Digital watches won’t work on me. They will just jump several hours or stop altogether but it someone else puts them on they work fine. My wife ended up with my £200 seiko (kinetic) watch because it just would not go while on my wrist. My own computers over the years, have always been a little strange and amaze the guys at the computer shop by doing things they are not supposed to be capable of. These are just the incidents that come immediately to mind. At one time it was amusing but now I don’t find it in the least funny. It happen 5 times out of 10 when I’m near any electronic device John Preston <j_preston1947 at yahoodot co dotuk> Stoke on Trent, uk - Thursday, April 12, 2007 at 14:55:24 (PDT)

I seem to have problems with DVD players, VCR’s, TV’s, street lamps(severely at a time), computers, light bulbs, I get shocked by static electrety all the time, it hurts really bad, I think more then it should, and I shock other people. I also have seen spirits of the dead and a lot of times I know what is going to happen before it happens (including the death a person). I remember when I was a teenage and I was having an argument with my mom and then fuse blow in the room we were in, at the moment that I became very angry with her. This happens all the time when I am emotionally charged, angry, hyper, or any other strong feeling. Most of the time I feel has if I am tingly with energy all threw my body and around myself. If I am sick or depressed I don't feel it has much. I think that some people just function on a higher frequency then others. I think this can also go into psychic vampirism; if you are not sure what this is here is a little brief. Individuals have the ability to draw some kind of psychic energy from others. This means that you can take energy from others and others can take from you. As neat has this my sound it can actually be very harmful to both parties. I think we all have encounter both sides of this exchange, if you talk to someone and you become energized or drained there is an energy exchange happening. I have friends who I feel are vampires and they will even have the nerve to say things such as: "Oh I had a great day I guess I took your positive energy for awhile". Or they will say something like: "I need an Amber fix". I have been working at disconnect my energy from these people with great luck so far. To bring this full circle I think people who are on a higher frequency tend to blow lights or mess up electrical items because of a simple energy exchange. These people also tend to be psychic’s in some form, if they open up to it. I also think this people are more open to being a victim of vampirism.

My name is Alicia and I am 23 yrs old. I have been getting shocked sense I could remember but it has gotten worse in the past 2 yrs or so. My work and grocery stores are the worst for me. I work at a TV Station so you could only imagine how bad it could get cause I work around all metal equipment, computers and so on. Everything I touch I get shocked by it, sometimes it's a good thing and sometimes a very bad thing. I have shut down our systems a few times and I threw us off air. Sometimes even when something is not working I go to touch it and it comes back on or starts working again. The people that I work with think i'm very weird they always crack jokes on me about it. The weird thing is that it's not only metal objects anymore it's EVERYTHING, like I could be walking close to a wall and get shocked. Some other objects that I have been getting shocked by lately, pop cans, doors, TV's, office chairs, light switches, and the weirdest off all is water. I go to turn on the water and like everyone else I feel the water to see how cold or hot it is, well I stick my hand under the water and I get shocked it's always at work though maybe we have to much lead or something in our water. Sometimes the shocks will hurt really bad and sometimes I get like a little burn dots on my fingers or hand. The up side of it all is that I can chase my kids around constantly shocking them LOL they think it is funny. My husband on the other hand hates it though cause I go to give him a kiss and I shock him on the lips. The only other bad thing is we can never have enough light bulbs in our house I just blew out 2 last night when I was trying to cook supper for my kids. Is it weird or just me? I never really thought about it as being weird at all I just thought it was natural, until everyone kept bringing to my attention when I would do something weird as they would call it. My coworkers just say that I have an electric personality LOL. I believe the coolest part about it is lights going out, like when i'm driving at night and the street lights go out I kinda feel like i'm in the twilight zone or something or maybe It's cause I daze off. Here is a question for all of you. When your driving or what ever your doing, do you ever daze off so bad that you know exactly what your doing but you don't. You go from point A to point B and don't remember driving or walking there or how you got there? But you know whats going on when your doing it like your there but your not? Kinda hard to explain. Maybe that's when the most happens to me when i'm in a sort of zone. Could that be? Alicia <babyab7 at maildot comm> Wichita, KS USA - Saturday, March 03, 2007 at 08:22:25 (PST)

Almost everyone on this site has posted very dramatic reports. My case is not really dramatic: I am definitely a watch-stopper, but I don't blow lightbulbs or computers. And it takes awhile -- about a month or so -- for a watch to quit working. I DO have an electric shock experience -- when I was 8, I got shocked by an old hair dryer I was using -- I'm not sure what happened, but I remember feeling shocked and I jumped into my Daddy's arms and was shaking all over. (I also remember my parents suggested I was overreacting, so I've never been sure about what really went down). As for street lights, they go out only very rarely, which is apparently very normal according to internet research on this topic. It hasn't happened enough times to make me think "it's me." I do not seem to blow lightbulbs with any real frequency. However, having said that, I do remember an incident with a light in my friend's house that started getting weird when I was standing directly under it and it stopped when I walked away. But things like this don't happen with any real regularity, so I question if I'm the cause. Same thing with car alarms: I have noticed that I can sometimes stop a car alarm if I touch the car, but it doesn't always work. To the lady with the husband who stops watches -- is he a "sometime SlIder" like me? Anybody else have mild cases or only the watch-stopping thing in common? ava USA - Thursday, March 01, 2007 at 12:21:08 (PST)

Over the years, I just thought I had a problem with static electricity. I zap myself whenever I walk through the grocery store. In cold weather, the problem seems worse. I thought everyone had this problem. Unfortunately, it doesn't stop there I zap myself while walking on tile, carpet, even concrete. I have even sent a 2-3 inch blue spark at times. When petting my poor cats, I send little silver sparks. They no longer let me pet their ears. While vacationing at Epcot in Florida, I touched the computer screen at a display and brought down the server. It took about 20 minutes for them to bring it back up. I also disrupt credit card machines where you have to sign your name with an electronic pen. The machine goes haywire and makes all kinds of squiggles and stray marks where the person is supposed to be signing. My mother makes me stand about 5 feet away from her when we are shopping and she wants to pay by credit card. Watch batteries don't last. Clocks on the wall near the door don't last. I have found a solution to the watch problem. I only wear vintage mechanical watches or mechanical watches from the Chaika watch company in Russia. I have worn out the horn in my car and the lighting system. My dome light in my car won't turn off when I close the door. I have to completely turn it off all the time. I have noticed the lights in my bedroom flicker when I walk by. The T.V. in my bedroom sometimes turns back on even after I've turned it off. This is annoying, but it's mild compared to other problems. When I start to get angry, I can feel my fingers start to tingle. I have also noticed that I give myself fevers when under emotional stress. My normal body temperature is 97.3F, so by a fever, I mean anything more than one full degree above my normal temperature. Try explaining to a doctor that even though your temperature is reading 98.6, you're burning up. They don't believe me and say my temp is normal, so it's no big deal. The hardest part is not the sparks, or things breaking. It's having people think I'm some sort of psycho flake for saying I have this problem. Unless it has happened to them or someone they know, they tend to dismiss me as a kook. I have learned to keep quiet about things. Only a handfujl of my very closest friends and my family know about me. There are more things that have happened, but I don't care to discuss them even anonymously. I would then have to admit they're real. I have had many things happen that are too frequent for me to entirely believe they're coincidence. I dismiss them as coincidence, but my family is convinced I'm causing them. I try not to fall into the trap of believing I can heal or curse people. I joke around about it, but try to dismiss it as coincidence. E. Anderson <eandersonsaat yahoosdot come> USA - Sunday, February 04, 2007 at 17:58:28 (PST)

I also have dealt with this "problem" or "gift" for many years. It has always been bothersome to me and even embarrassing at times. But, now as an adult, I would like to learn more about it. How to control it, and maybe even become more powerful. I have had computers catch fire in front of me. Overhead projector bulbs blow just walking by them, my car acted like something out of an "attach from the aliens" movie. And light bulbs? Please, I should take stock in them. I hate the dark, but yet I can't seem to keep up with the bulbs going out. There are so many stories. It is nice to know that I am not alone any more.

I've always had problems with shocking things I touched. usually doors, shopping carts and it progressed to pretty much everything but food. I now see the sparks as lightning the actually spiders out in a bright blue light. It happens most often as I put my keys in any door. When I get out of cars I use my elbows because the shock is becoming painful.The sounding, pop, could be adding to it. I also shock other people quite often and poor unsuspecting pets that get good ones right on the tip of their noses. I always pick up my feet when I walk, and now I cautiously touch anything out of the fear from the jolting shock. Aside from the shock it is turning out to be quite a beautiful light show at night. I am curious now as to what could cause this to happen so often! Tara G. <meera_o_payneat hhhotmaildot commm> USA - Saturday, January 06, 2007 at 01:54:22 (PST)

I have recently been occupied by a static charge. I have never had this sort of thing happen, never been able to shock anyone, but now I can touch my husband over and over again and shock him . I wear ear-bud headphones hooked into my PDA to listen to music and everytime I move, I get a shock in my ear. It i uncomfortable, but not painful.
