OK this is not a joke but is in fact very true and it is happening to me on a constant basis whenever I walk in one specific area. You see it happens at night in an area called Kingsthorpe in Northampton everytime I walk past several streetlights. I somehow manage to set them off when I walk past them and it only comes back on once I've walked a few yards down the road. This has happened in total 6 times on one night and it is not every streetlight. On top of that it has happened more than once where the same thing has happened again.

Let's put this straight I have never touched or shaken a streetlight whilst I've walked past one nor has any item of my clothing or bag touched it either. Everytime I walk to my destination I feel fine all the time which means one logical explanation - I am conducting ELECTRICITY! and no I don't think that I am going to set them off through my mind, I don't at all. All I am doing is minding my own business.

There must be something more than that though, I'm activating something but what? maybe the electricity fuse is connecting with something magnetic on me, I have keys but that's not magnetic and I don't carry a compass when I walk from place to place so it can't be that either. Unless I'm magnetic myself and that will be news to me if I was then I would be surprised as nobody has told me yet anyway, well I haven't told myself that I am so that will be completely useless.

Perhaps a possible possibility could be the fact that the wires in my head where nerves send messages to the brain and to the whole body could be the cause. This could be the solution to my problem, I just need to find out whats triggering those pesky streetlights. Perhaps instead of them going on and off I could just pull the trigger of a loaded machinegun and fire at every streetlight in sight. That way they would remain permanantly off until further notice. Yeah I think I might do that.

Anyway whatever it is, it's totally freaking me out now and surely I can't keep doing this because if it carries on I'm going to cause an accident although I hope that will never happen otherwise I'm going to have to believe that Most Haunted is a genuine programme.

What should I do? because quite frankly in my eyes this is a case of the third kind. Do I fix the problem which is the streetlights or do I go and see a doctor who can prescribe me the drug that stops these things? Even better how about a drug that stops me from seeing things?Whatever the case something has got to give because if I'm not careful I'll end up finding a way of teleporting myself to the dark side of the moon.
