When I turn off the lights, the bulbs keep on flickering...What's wrong with those bulbs?

There's probably nothing wrong with the bulbs. It sounds more like something wrong with the wiring or the switch.

Most likely you are using fluorescent bulbs. When you turn the power off to those kinds of lightbulbs, the phosphor coating inside the bulb is still charged and will still emit light for a short period after.
Or, less likely, you have an electrical problem where electricity is still being sent to the socket even when the switch is off, in which case I'd get it checked by an electrician.

You have an infestation of poltergeists or demons. Call a priest or Ghostbusters.
Useless question without more detail.

They are either getting ready to go out or they are run off a solenoid that is bad or going bad.

They are confused about the role they play in your household. Punch the crap out of one of them and see how it goes from there.

Repplace the switch. You have one that is not operating properly.
