How about St. Elmo's fire or a Faraday cage? St. Elmo's fire is a blue glow that used to show up during lightening storms on the sails a ship due to buildup of electrons. Sailors thought it meant St. Elmo was protecting them - but it actually meant the ship was about to be struck by lightening. However, they could have protected themselves by building a giant Faraday cage around the ship, which blocks electrical signals.
