What is SLI?
There is a term in the paranormal world called Street Light Interference or SLI for short. SLI is a phenomenon where a person can unwillingly turn on and off street lights simply by passing underneath or by them. A SLIder is someone who has had this happen to them.
My Paranormal Experiences
Many years ago when I worked in daycare I was walking to work every day, Monday through Friday. I would leave around 7am and walk past a hotel next to the gas station.
This daycare had a lot of paranormal activity that took place daily. From shadow’s moving around to noises and water turning on by itself.
There is one light there that was constantly going off when I passed underneath it.
This happened every morning when I passed under it if it was lit up. If it was off and I went under it then it would flicker and eventually turn on.
There was a hotel next to the daycare that had another light that reacted to myself walking under it. When I walked under it, usually at 5:45am if I had to open the daycare, the light would turn off, but during the day when I passed by it on the way home it stayed off.
Because these were happening first thing at night it ended up with me carrying pepper spray because when that light went off at the hotel next to the daycare it was pitch black.
My Observations
I decided to take a look at when this happened to me and kept track of my mood and what not. I wasn’t sure if it was paranormal or just a coincidence. I noticed that it would happen to me when I was really tired or if I was upset about something. Funny enough I don’t recall it ever happening when I wasn’t feeling good or sick. Also it never happened to me during the winter, well not that I noticed at the time.
I don’t pass under very many street light’s these days, but I have drained batteries at work in the matter of half an hour and I have walked under newly placed light bulbs only to have them flicker and turn off only to turn back on a few minutes later.
