Poltergistal Stuff



So we're standing, talking, in the kitchen just now,  and 7 overhead lights go off.  Lights on the other circuit remain on.  WTF?  I walk  five feet and flip the switch, and the lights are back on.  How did the switch get turned off?  I was standing five feet away; it was in plain site. I want some 'splaining.

    You are not ready to hear the truth.

    Get your VOM out and check the wiring. I think I smell something burning.

    The light switch was "physically.." switched. I'm thinking stealth obamunists.

    Do you have two switches at either end of the room that controls the same circuit? If so check the wiring because you forgot the switch that last turned it on. If not I hear the RC's are back into the exorcism business and I'd move out until they run you-know-who out of your house.

    I had the same thing happen in my kitchen.

    Did the switch WANT to turn on?

    Is this the first time something like this has happened? Could be your bodies electrical field messing with the lights. Streetlights I walk under or even drive past shut off all the time.

    The switch may have been partially moved but not completely, lacking just a millimeter or less to have completed opening or closing the circuit. At a point, either a vibration or temperature change (expansion/contraction) caused it to break the circuit (in your case).

    @Mike G. In the case of car headlights some vehicles diffuse light from the headlights that is upwards as well as forward. I have owned two that did this. Street lights have light sensors to turn off automatically to detect daytime. Any light hitting the sensor will turn them off temporarily.d

    Okay, and I am not making this up. The lights are on a single circuit, and the switch "became" down. Off. In front of our lying eyes. And, I did not mention this, but one of the spots over the stove was also suddenly out - because as it turned out, it was unscrewed a turn. Just minutes after I cooked pancakes under it.

    Maybe it was the dastardly squirrels what are driving us crazy and eating our brake lines and engine computer boxes.
