Hello everyone, I’m writing this post to ask a few questions.
Lately, strange things have been happening around me involving electronic devices—specifically, light bulbs and streetlights.
More and more often, when I walk under a streetlight (it doesn’t happen every time, but the frequency is increasing), the light starts to flicker. This has even happened while I was driving. Of course, there’s a logical explanation—the bulbs might just be burnt out—but the same thing has recently started happening inside my own home (and it also happened at my grandmother’s house).
The light bulb in my living room started flickering violently, as did the one in the bathroom—and this seemed to happen more often when I was actually in the room. This is probably one of the strangest posts ever made on this forum, lol; it sounds completely absurd, but I can’t figure out how it’s possible. Sometimes, the lights start working perfectly again without me even changing the bulb—it’s as if it happens in phases, though I’m not entirely sure. The kitchen lights have started having the same issues, too. It just doesn’t seem plausible for so many light bulbs to start failing at once. The final straw—the reason that finally pushed me to write this post and really think about what’s going on—is that the light in my own bedroom has started doing the same thing. The fixture in my room began flickering incessantly, so I had to turn it off and switch to a small, less intrusive LED nightlight.
Does anyone know why this is happening? And, more importantly, why does it seem to happen specifically when I’m around? It even happened when I was with a girl; she asked me why a streetlight would start flickering every time she was with me—as if there were a sudden drop in voltage.
