SLI is an acronym that stands for “street light interference”; and from which we get the term “SLIder” which refers to people who cause the anomaly to happen, as described below.
However, while his work was extensive, it was basically inconclusive as the experiences are nearly impossible to recreate in a laboratory setting, because the phenomenon occurs so randomly. A person with the ability of a SLIder cannot make it happen on command or at will, therefore research can be difficult.
He investigated whether it could be psychological, paranormal or mechanical, and questioned things like whether or not people were simply lying (unlikely given the vast numbers of reports), whether or not it is a shared delusion (also not likely as there is no pay off), or could it be the end of the lightbulbs themselves and people just happen to notice when one goes out? Although the skeptics will say this is the most likely reason, you also have to consider the other factors: Street lights burning out are only a small part of the peculiarity; most SLIders report the other strange circumstances that accompanies it, such as most electronics going haywire in their presence, they ALWAYS have trouble with watches and cannot keep a bank card in good working condition for any length of time.
Incidentally, most SLIders allegedly cause street lights to go out on a regular basis. We are not referring to a one-time thing. They have also said they caused more than one light to go out at a time, and they have reported they were almost always stressed, tired, mad or upset when they “caused” a light to go out just by being near it.
Although being a SLIder can be classified as paranormal in a way, that does not exactly mean that a supernatural force is at work, and frankly, I’d be surprised if it were.
Simply put, it means conventional science cannot explain what is happening but it seems like the brain/mind is having an effect on an object from a distance.
Some believe the human body is creating static electricity, while others think it is another type of energy from the body or an electrical impulse. Scientifically, electrical impulses can only work inside the body (that we know of).
Truthfully, I have experienced it myself. There have been quite a few times in my life when I have gone under a street light and it blew, and electronic devices tend to throw hissy fits when I am around. That happens to everyone, you may be thinking. Not to the extent that it has happened to me.
If you have never given any thought to this before, it might be a good time to reflect on your personal experiences with electronics, bank cards, wristwatches and especially street lights. You might be a SLIder, too.
“Street Light Interference” is the unexplained phenomenon of individuals who seemingly cause street lights to go out simply by being near them. However, there is more to it than that. As a general rule, the ones who cause street lights to go out also cause other things to regularly malfunction, such as: electronics (everything from cars to computers to tv’s), household lightbulbs, compasses, navigation equipment, wristwatches and banking/magnetic stripe cards.
A British scholar (Hilary Evans) studied the topic in-depth in an attempt to explain what is happening. He collected hundreds of reports of SLIDER phenomenon, studied the data and eventually wrote a book about it.
