Hi there! I discovered this board when I was trying to figure out what's been recently happening with electric stuff. I first noticed things were going awry about six months ago when I was in China trying to bargain for a few watches. I didn't think much of it at the time, except that it was some weird coincidence - basically I was trying to get the price of a watch down to about 15 yuen from 100 yuen, so I lied and said that none of them worked. When I picked up each watch, about five in total, the ticker stopped tickering and the digital area just went blank. In the end, I got them all for about 50 yuen total

I've been having trouble waking up on time, because I always have my alarm to just turn off right when I wake up and then I fall back asleep. Recently I moved my alarm across the room so I wouldn't be able to hit the snooze button (it's a radio alarm), and every morning I wake up wondering why it hadn't gone off. When I check it, EVERY morning the volume is down to 1 as if someone had come in and turned it down right when it went off. I asked my parents if they had done it, and they both replied that they, of course, would WANT me to wake up. They have no reason to turn it off. This has happened for almost four weeks now, and I just don't know what's going on. It's not every morning, but it's just always going from volume 15 to volume 1 like every other day!

Another weird experience happened about a month ago. My mom and I were sitting in a car, and it was freezing out yet my dad had left the door open. She asked me to close it, but as I was in the back on the wrong side, I couldnt reach it. I stuck my hand out to grab it, but I was about 3 feet too far away. Suddenly the door just started coming in, and closed... of course I factored in the wind, and also maybe it had just been close to shutting but hadn't really shut... it was just SO strange that RIGHT when I reached my hand out, it closed on us! Needless to say, my mom has been freaked out ever since... coincidence that it happened halloween night =)

anyway there's been a bunch of stuff like that, but those examples are the most prominent. WHAT is going on? (by the way, I have been practicing with a psiwheel on and off just for amusement for like the past 2 years... but I never did it seriously because I'm just SUCH a skeptic.)

With the watch situation, you might be electrokinetic.
With the clock situation, you might be telekinetic and subconsciously, since you wanna sleep longer, your mind is turning the dial low so you won't be bothered and wake up!
Telekinesis might factor in with the car door, too.

When I was a teen, a looong time a go ,before digital or LCD, I went through a lot of watches. By just putting it on it stopped the timing wheel . Take it off, the watch starts again. To this day I don't wear a watch, even though I have no effect on the new ones.

Maybe you should try practing electrokinesis Roger, you might be good at it!

hmm for the clock, maybe you sleep wlaking? I saw a show and this guy slept walked and got up, went the refrigerator and made himselfa sndwich... lol any who, the car door might be the wind, but I don't know about the watches, not that I'm a skeptic, just showing you other ways to look at it.

YAY that was my 100th post!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, try going to dictionary . com and looking up electrokinesis. It's not a word. It doesn't make sense.

Plenty of people have electrokinesis!!! Ask Arwen!!!!!!!!

yeah, I;m electro kinetic. I'm telekinetic to. I use telekinesis to move my arms and turn on the light switch.

Gimme a break.

Don't get caught up in the semantics. Just because the word may be made up doesn't mean that the phenomenon doesn't exist.
"Empath" isn't in there either. Maybe the dictionary.com people are biased against the metaphysical...

The word dosen't exist. As for the Phenomena of "Electrokinesis".... Psi can effect alot of things if you use a different visualisation. So it's just Psi. No need to give it a fake name.

Sure the word exists. "I have had many experiences with electrokinesis." There, I even used it in a sentence.
It's helpful to give it its own name because it makes the psi-related phenomenon more specific in discussion. I for one don't give a darn what dictionary.com has to say about it.

That logic is so full of holes it can never stand. Okay, I'll play by your terms.

I have invented the word "Mustardkinesis". It allows me to produce mustard in my opens hands, and shoot it from my eyesockets if I concentrate hard enough.

I believe this is a true phenomena, and I am going to study it until I see some results. I'll let you know how it goes.

Okay, then, who DOES have the authority to create new words? Is a zoologist incorrect in giving a newfound species a new name, just because he didn't consult with dictionary.com first?
Is there a school for wordsmiths, where they go and earn their degrees in wordsmithing? Oh gosh, there I go again, making up new words! Quick, sign me up for wordsmith school so I can get my degree before this progresses to full-blown insanitaciousness!

I think the people who have the right to name the Kinetic Abilities are Parapsychologists or just Psychologists or the person who discovered the ability.

The government doesn't have the right, they would rather consider everything unexplained a hoax...Psi, UFO's, Ghosts...etc...

Damn, dont even get me started on the government.

*walks away slowly, while living in a police state*

well PSI isnt technicaly a real word either its just a clobal common term that everyoen has come to know it by. sae with tk and ek and eveyr other ability

and it does sound like ek but not SLI.. btw i found out SLI means Street Lamp Interference... see? a widely known term just built up form nothing except wot it does.

im doen... im going ot have breakfast now.

i dont know about ya'll but telekensis is a load of horse crap. and it you dont like what i say then why dont you move something at my house with your mind and hit me over the head with it.

Just out of curiosity, if you believe in ghosts, then why can't you believe in telekinesis? A lot of telekinetic activity is linked to ghosts, after all...
