Green goo oozing from electrical sockets and flickering lights might not be a sign your house is haunted this Halloween - but rather a call is needed for an electrician, according to a campaign group.
Atmospheric ghost lights are lights (or fires) that appear in the atmosphere without an obvious cause. Examples include the onibi, hitodama and will-o'-wisp. They are often seen in humid climates. [1] According to legend, some lights are wandering spirits of the dead, the work of devils or yōkai, or the pranks of fairies. They are feared by ...
In visual perception, flicker is a human-visible change in luminance of an illuminated surface or light source which can be due to fluctuations of the light source itself, or due to external causes such as due to rapid fluctuations in the voltage of the power supply (power-line flicker) or incompatibility with an external dimmer.
Flameless candles display flickering light, imitating that of actual flames. As a decorative element, the design of a flameless candle is relatively versatile. The body or "housing" of the device is commonly cylindrical, containing a battery pack and an often flame-shaped LED lamp atop the candle. Many manufactures use LED lights with an ...
The fire department offered tips everyone with a Christmas tree should know to lessen the fire danger: -Choose a tree with fresh, green needles that do not fall off when touched
St. Elmo's fire is a reproducible and demonstrable form of plasma. The electric field around the affected object causes ionization of the air molecules, producing a faint glow easily visible in low-light conditions. Conditions that can generate St. Elmo's fire are present during thunderstorms, when high-voltage differentials are present between ...
WEST LONG BRANCH - Lights flickering on and off, seemingly at random. The sound of organ music echoing. Unexplained cold spells and visions. Eerie experiences in the elevators, where tragedy ...
Power-line flicker is a visible change in brightness of a lamp due to rapid fluctuations in the voltage of the power supply. The voltage drop is generated over the source impedance of the grid by the changing load current of an equipment or facility. These fluctuations in time generate flicker.
