Street lights going out?

Question

For as long as i can remember 90 -95 percent of the time when i am driving at night a street light goes out as i pass under it. Sometimes whole billboards or signs. Its so prominent other people notice it!Why?!
Also i generally have large groups of little birds around me wherever i go! they are usually black and on dreary days they make TONS of noise. (i know this could be bc they are saying a storm is coming) Who is sending these birds?
Im quite puzzled because ive been able to feel spirits and ghosts around me since i was a kid. I cant talk to them but i know how they are feeling, yet i cant pick up what is around in these 2 situations.
Insight please!

Answer 1

This is nothing more than confirmation bias and a very fruitful imagination.

Answer 2

Wait a second!!! Are you saying that every streetlight you pass by goes out, and that streets go dark as you drive down them? Come on! What is the real percentage? Street lights go out all the time, not just because you are near them.

Do these birds follow you inside? Do they follow you while you are driving? I hope you realize that birds are everywhere and they are not there just because you are.

It sounds to me like you are taking common everyday occurrences and convincing yourself that they are somehow special because they happen to you (even though they happen to everyone all the time). I wouldn't worry about it -- unless these spirits/ghosts start telling you to do things that you don't want to do or you start to get paranoid.

Answer 3

Street lamps contain gas which is heavier than air. When they lose enough of that gas that the gas doesnt hit the element, they will start going on and off. When the gas hits the element it ignites the gas and it comes on for a few minutes, then the gas settles and the light goes out. Since we all see them going on and off, some people have written books saying this is evidence that there is something special about you. Of course this is silly, as its just that the bulbs are old, and need to be replaced.
Huge flocks of small birds are also very common. They arent following you around. Some small birds are territorial during nesting season and will group up to try to chase off potential predators. They see you as a threat to thier eggs or chicks. They arent following you around.

Answer 4

The light thing. I see that all the time. I am sure it happens to everyone, even though I have never really asked. It has something to do with static electricity or something. Nothing paranormal.

I also seem to blow light bulbs when I turn them on. Again I am sure it happens equally to everyone else, the place I live in has bad wiring, I guess. Some blow more frequent than others. Now I have switched them all over to the energy-saver kind and haven't had to replace one yet.

Answer 5

Well, there is a theory that might explan some things: When a spirit wants to manifests itself (show itself) it needs energy, which can be found in electricity.
Also black doensn't always mean evil. But my friend did have a funny (because it's so weird) superstition. If you're in a group and you see a black crown then someone will die. (she loved saying weird thing. Mostly on camping trips)

But a bird might be your farmiliar. Try searching up on what it it. I haven't found mine, but most people have them, so yours might be a bird.

Answer 6

What took you so long to get here???We've been waiting for you !!!! lol
There's a girl on here called kel333. This happens to her a lot too...the lights. There's also a group site that studies this and wants to know about people this happens to. I can't think what this "phenomenon " is called. I'm sure Kelly will eventually come on and tell you . I think she's traveling at this time. Hopefully she has a laptop and is still in touch with us.
I don't have a clue about the birds. Maybe they're hungry and you're supposed to feed them. Or maybe you fed them once and now they think you're their daddy...(or mama) (I can't tell from your avatar or your name which you are.Care to tell us?)
EDIT...team....no..it's called Slilders like Kelly said. (We have a restaurant/bar here named Sliders.Hmmmm>)
Edit...John B...Birds don't follow ME!!! (Only dogs and cats and our ducks!!)

Answer 7

this happens to me two... very rarely will it be more than one at a time but it has happend... sometimes i can tell if it is just a bad light but other times i just freak my self out... i don't think that it has to do with your moods though because i am usually moodless when i drive by myself.... and what is stoping a electrical blackout when i get really mad? it is so cool to finally find someone that goes through this strange thing that i go through.....


and the crow thing happens to me too.... the Counting Crows named there band after a little tradition of sort that when you near a bunch of crows you should count them and it will tell you something like death or love.... idk look up counting crows story or myth or something

Answer 8

nicely, it includes a factor the place even nevertheless somebody is breaking the regulation you nonetheless don't have the suitable to kill them in the event that they have no rationale of killing you first. undesirable using would not make an excuse so which you would be able to tension even worse. you have the duty to circumvent an twist of destiny every time achievable, no longer purely gun it and need the different section would not die consequently. it may desire to be your guy or woman demise too. If police won't shop order then possibly it's time to snatch interest in different techniques. positioned the digital camera on your vehicle, yet do no longer pass out of your thank you to hit others. Vigilantism is going to purely land you in penal complex, yet do what you prefer. you additionally could make video clips and make certain people who could make a distinction do see them. I totally comprehend your frustrations. I stay interior the Dallas section the place people tension like lunatics and that i'm getting so mad, yet i'm unlikely to place my very own existence in much extra jeopardy by ability of going to extremes and ignoring others faults and vanity interior the call of taking regulation into my very own hands. i pass nuts once I hve to attend in line like anybody else in site visitors then some clown comes to a decision to tension each and each of ways around anybody interior the decrease lanes then anticipate anybody to easily provide up and enable them to in. The maddening section is they consistently do! it fairly is the only time I tailgate to maintain them from stepping into front and that i've got long previous to date as using in the two lanes a million/2 way into the decrease and a million/2 way interior the lane to maintain them from reducing, yet I won't gun it to maintain them from doing so. I won't endanger them or others to make a assertion. you're able to desire to pass even nevertheless you do no longer experience you're able to desire to could desire to, yet while no longer something is done you will could desire to. Hitting others or purely ignoring the glaring will finally get you killed.
