The power to control eletricity.

You can use the Search feature, but other than that, according to popular belief by practicing and self-proclaimed "psions", yes.

I wouldn't know I've never seen anything like it outside of Mortal Kombat.

All I have to say is this:

Arfhghfgghflllff.

OK?!

If I have to explain to one more ignorant preteen why ek is not possible, I swear I am going to explode.

Explodokinesis.

What? Did I hear a mortal kombat reference? anywho...no I haven't really seen any mention either...

Erm where is the tear your hair out emoticon?

I don't know, but I'm searching frantically for it among the tufts of hair lying on my desk.

I think things can be moved with your mind. Just use the same term for everything, it is so much easier. It is all the same thing. People think they are different because they watch things like x-men... and power rangers... and... um... barney.

just if anyone is wondering......
electokinesis is a power based on the ability to MANIPULATE energy


I am new to this place ....... so be patient with me

All forms of matter can be manipulated... but some of this stuff... Hey, AC, remember sexkinesis? I don't think I'll ever get over that.

Hey. Don't diss sexkinesis.

Been practicing THAT since the day I was born.

I don't believe in being able to control an electrical charge but I do think that some people have more of a tendency to harbor electricity. I'm one of those people. I don't think it's anything paranormal. Here's what I do (and wish I didn't):

1. I fry credit cards. I killed the magnetic stripping on two of my dad's credit cards (both new) after having them for only one week. The death toll on magnetic stripping is high for me. As a result, I avoid using my ATM card as much as possible, lol.

2. I fry watches. I have killed every watch that I've ever tried to wear on a daily basis within just a month. I don't wear watches.

3. I blow out bulbs. The blow outs were so frequent and extensive that I actually had our builder send an electrician in to make sure that it wasn't an electrical problem with the house. The solution was that I don't turn lights on and off anymore. It has saved us alot of money, lol.

4. I don't even have to touch metal to get a good, loud, cracking spark that usually attracts the attention of anybody in the same aisle as me. It's embarassing.

5. I'm afraid of doorknobs and my husband doesn't allow me to pump my own gas anymore. He's afraid that I'm going to end up in a ball of flames.

6. My children flinch when I reach out to pat them on the head and my husband tries to discharge me before he kisses me. He's been shocked way too many times now, lol.

7. I have discharged into WATER sitting in a plastic bowl. W T H? Discharge into running water and water sitting in a sink. If just the monotony wasn't enough to hate doing dishes...

8. Kind of water related, but I caused two of those lovely (blech) plastic faucet handles to explode in my hand after discharging into the handle...all within a couple of days each other.

9. Touching a bare mattress sucks. We're talking about hundreds of little zaps between my hands and the mattress springs.

10. According to my husband, I disrupt his GPS equipment. He has all sorts of really neat GPS stuff but none of it works if I'm nearby. If I'm not around, it works beautifully. I sit next to him, poof...errr, what GPS? (I actually like to terrorize him about this and threaten to handle his electronic equipment... )

And, fyi, yes, I do everything I can to avoid building a charge. I walk around barefoot when I can (in winter, give me slippers) and try to be just generally still. When I do walk, I make sure that I don't drag my feet. Unfortunately, I can start to gather a charge just sitting still on a leather couch. Sucks to be me. When we took our kids to a science museum last year, they had this cool little electrometer where we could place our hands on these copper disks to measure the amount of natural charge we had. My kids and husband were all the same. Just a wee little positive charge. When I put my hands on the disks, it zoomed almost to max with a negative charge. Ironically enough, I have a heart problem where my heart will "misfire" and sometimes will go too fast or too slow. The cause? Electrical misconductivity. Go figure. I've had the dubious pleasure of having nearly every blood test known to mankind done on me (as well as EEGs, EKGs and ECG). The things that are screwed up don't seem to be related and I've been on a low sodium diet for years (my body cannot handle salts at all). I've lived in high humidity areas as well as dry areas (like currently). Same problems. I do not have dry skin.

Is it paranormal? Nope but it'd be more fun if I could control it. I do shock my husband more often when I'm in a fiesty mood. Wouldn't it be fun if the two were related? Am I a freak of nature? Probably but I can console myself in that there are other people out there with similiar problems, lol. I don't believe at all in electrokinesis, not just because it's generally impossible, but because, with my track record, you'd think I'd have learned how to control a charge by now.

Ever heard of static electricity???

Yes, it's just a bad case of static. Far from paranormal.

sounds like a really bad case of static!

Some people act a lot like static magnets. It can depend on the levels of electrolytes in their blood, humidity, what kind of clothing they wear, and even how much body hair they have (Which I sincerely hope isn't a factor with our female friend battleangel ).

Maybe she is a clan battlehammer female....*wink*

I've noticed some odd things that one might attribute to myself as Electrokenisis.

When I am too close to my Computer speakers (This has been in two seperate apartments now) I pick up radio through them, and when my hands move to the key board to type it gets louder, when I place it say on the mouse it's more mute... this is annoying. Just wondering if there may be a connection. I am also Abnormally warm most of the time, My fiance calls me her portable Space Heater/Hot Water Bottle. I will stop now before I start a new thread topic.

The speakers are not magnetically shielded.

That's exactly it, angry. I'm a static magnet. There is nothing paranormal about it whatsoever. In my case, I run fevers alot and, although my skin is dry, I run a little dehydrated constantly. Hence the charge. My point is that what would be taken by some as being some sort of paranormal activity (wee, I can blow out bulbs, must be ek!) usually has some sort of perfectly explanable reason. I certainly don't have ek (if I did, I'd be having a blast with it). I'm just staticy.

And nope, I am not part of the battlehammer clan nor am I a friendly (or otherwise) furball.

woops, make that "my skin ISN'T dry".

I need to learn how to type.

It could also be a grounding issue. The ground wire running from my turntable to my receiver got severed once, and began receiving radio stations and playing them over top of the records. It could be that the 1/8" plug these speakers conect with is missing the ground wire. Since the body then acts like a large antenna, it naturally receives radio waves which the faulty ground then picks up.
