I feel it is possible.
Our body produces static electricity, and possibly generate a albeit weak magnetic field that can have impact on machines.
Our body is made up of many organic molecules and minute traces of metal ions. An external magnetic field can cause changes in us and I feel the reverse can happen in a small group of people. I have seen newspaper reports of people who can attract metals to their bodies.
The Chinese practise qigong (a form of exercise) where the body produces energy that causes warmth in the body. I have heard people claim that they feel heat in their body when they practise such exercise. When properly channeled, the heat energy, together with the magnetic field and electrical energy and electrostatic charges (static electricity), produced by some humans, may cause some interference in machines.

Oh yes. I've often wondered if I have some effect on electronic equipment, because weird things happen around me. Street lamps frequently black out when I pass them and switch back on after I get further away from them (certain lamps do this every time I pass them but don't do it when somebody else passes them). A few years ago there was a period when pretty much all electronic equipment I came near had problems. That doesn't happen nearly as often anymore though.
It's very weird and I know it sounds crazy and illogical, but I really do wonder if this stuff happens because of my presence or whether this is just a mad coincidence.

I don't know if it's chemestry, or if some people just naturally create more electricity/ energy in thier bodies. I've always had a problem with this. Speakers, receivers, radios always get static or buzz when I walk by. I have a lot of static on the phone when others don't on the same phone, and car alarms go off a lot when I walk trough a parking lot. Wierd

When I was a teenager I would constantly cause computers to crash just by being near them. My dad thought I was screwing with stuff on his computer as it would crash almost every time I was on it. It took a couple of times for him to be on it and have me walk by and have it crash for him to realize that the problem was just my presence.
I'm 28 now and I still notice that when I walk under street lamps they tend to go out, as well as automatic doors sometimes malfunction when I go through them. However, I'm able to use most electronic devices without problems now.

I'm not sure about electronic devices, but my own body chemistry will now allow me to wear a watch. Within 5 minutes of putting a watch on it will stop, even with a new battery.

Yes, some people store static charges better than others. Also some peoples body conducts better than others, which makes some people more prone to cause a short in a circuit that he or she touches. Salt content helps conduct electricity as well.

Maybe just clumsy. Stay away from bad sci-fi movies for a while
