Street Light Phenomenon
I would estimate since I was 10 to approximately 17 years old, I had tons of situations where as I would be walking or driving, street lights would turn off as I would near or pass them. Of course in most instances I would consider it coincidence but it happened almost every night at different time intervals... happened in urban and remote locations... and sometimes when it would happen I would get a "strange" feeling.
I did not even notice the phenomenon until approximately 13 or 14 years old when I realized this happened so often and it seemed a bit outside the ordinary. I eventually reconciled that I either gave off a strange EMF field that shorted the lights... something followed me spiritually... or it was a series of immense coincidences.
To this day I am not sure what it was as it had stopped once my attention turned away from the phenomenon for sometime. I actually tend to lean more to side of coincidence but who knows?

It is happening to me too. I live on a highway, in the suburbs, within a small city. There are a few street lights in front of my house that has been there for many years since I lived here in the same house. But recently, within the last year, it started happening to me as well. I am not one to believe much in the paranormal, but I recently in my life, I am starting to. The reason to this might be that I am starting to experience of what might be 'paranormal experiences' of different types. I am already a young adult, in the 20's, and I been experiencing things occassionally. Recently, I went on a journey to southeast Asia, and explored some caves there, and I took pictures of it and supposedly I found what looks to be floating glowing orbs within the caves. Just earlier this year, I was coming home from work, and I stopped to look at something odd in the sky, it was a weird light that came somewhat close for a short moment and then it went away; later, I came home and I blacked out and I woke up a few hours later and my wrist watch seemed to be not working, but could it be just a coincidence? Then recently the street lights for the past year has been going off and on at certain intervals but differently from one another, and not provoked by motion. Although, the lights are in front of what used to be an old lady's home that had been recently demolished to make way for an condo development, also is the same corner where a few people and animals died over the years from some car crashes and accidents, including 2 of my pet dogs. Although, I do happen to live close to the center of the so-called "Bridgewater Triangle", supposedly one of the most concentrated haunted areas in the world. Even one, I also was driving with my sister on an empty stretch of forested highway with my sister at about 2am and suddenly out-of-nowhere that the road started to fill with ground-level mist, and was like that for a few minutes until it disappeared, at the point our car reached the first building that appeared on the road. But to get back to the street lights anyways... Yet, also, near these street lights, in the field of what used to lie the demolished old woman's home, is something odd I saw but only once. It was mid-afternoon and I was looking outside my home and it happens to be that I saw like a certain distorted image of air confined to one spot in the empty meadow field across the street from my home, near where the street lights were. It appeared there for a while and I found it to be something like I never saw before and I made sure I was not seeing an figment of my imagination or some natural phenomena. Also, lately, once-i-a-while that I would hear a strange non-native animal-like sound coming from outside. I don't know if this might mean anything but supposedly (as my mom told me) that her aunt was a so-called 'median'. But anyways, could all or any of these such incidences be related whatsoever? ...also, I used to be more the scientific and skeptic type of person.

"If you have two theories that both explain the observed facts, then you should use the simplest until more evidence comes along"
"The simplest explanation for some phenomenon is more likely to be accurate than more complicated explanations."
"If you have two equally likely solutions to a problem, choose the simplest."
"The explanation requiring the fewest assumptions is most likely to be correct."
... or could it be actually something yet left unexplainable to our present understanding of reality? What are we to believe, and what can we believe, without not being believed?
I just don't know anymore of what I believe in...
