On being a SLIder
These are great stories, and I'm eagerly anticipating a study I've been asked to take part in at the Rhine Center in Durham, NC on SLIders. I first became aware of my impact on street lights as a teenager, when I was first able to drive on my own. It was more than a decade later, and after numerous perplexing misadventures with objects of the electronic kind that I first made the connection between these things and my mental/emotional state. If I'm REALLY upset or stressed out, I can do serious damage to my computer, media players, my car's electrical system, and cause all the light bulbs in my house to explode in short order. I've never had a watch that would work for more than a few weeks. And I used to erase data from floppy disks just by holding them in my hand (bosses just LOVED that). It wasn't until I did a Google search one day that I discovered there were others like me, and I wasn't a total freak, or imagining things. Thank God for the Internet! As far as I know, only one serious book has even been written on the topic of SLIders, by Hilary Evans. At any rate, I've always been curious as to whether or not this excess energy of mine is what's caused spirits to seem attracted to me, and why my encounters have been mostly of the poltergeist variety. For the past few years, I've taken a sedative medication daily to keep me chilled out, and to prevent this pesky trait of mine from wrecking my work and personal life. But family and close friends aware of the trait still forbid me to touch any of their electronic devices. I'll be going off the sedative for the study, and I'm very curious to see what happens.
