When I was young we lived in a house with a large attic. Every time I went up there, I would feel like I was being watched and have strange sensations in my legs, like a restless kind of tingling.

I thought the attic was haunted, but I now I know it was almost certainly something giving off EMFs. I've felt the same feeling many times, especially in older buildings were the wiring probably isn't shielded or installed correctly.

So anyone else sensitive to this? It can cause nausea, paranoia or a sense of being watched, and other strange sensations

When there is enough it everyone will be affected by it, some are more sensitive than other by EMF wave without a doubt. If EMF waves get to a high enough intensity hallucinations will almost certainly occur.

I guess I must be more sensitive, because no one else in my family ever had the same feelings. Now that I know what it is, it actually feels kind of interesting...it's easy to see why people would mistake it for something paranormal.

I watched this ghost investigations TV show where a mother would almost never have the symptoms of high EMF. Although her son suffered from it chronically until they fixed they fixed the circuit box. What happened to the child sounds similar to your circumstances.

Default Good thread....

In Brooklyn, there is a house by my friend's that every time we BOTH walk past we get a high pitched whining in our ears at the same time! Only that house over the years. As he is in contracting he thinks they have an anti-vermin device cranked up that causes this.

Other then that, No other problems personally.

Besides anything supernatural or paranormal, I would never live near a place with high EMF waves. There are health concerns, including and increased risk of child hood cancers.

There was a house where we once lived where two children from separate families came down with rare childhood brain cancers. My husband has an EMF reader and out of curiosity, passed the house and as compared to the others on the same block, the readings were "off the charts".
p
I don't know if the cause of high EMF reading in natural, supernatural or a combination of the two. Some say spirits are attracted to areas with high EMF readings.
I don't know if that is true and I'd enjoy hearing from anyone who has more knowledge than I do abput the subject.

All I know is that asside from being visually disturbing, which they are; I would never live under or near a place that has those high tension wires. I have heard of too many cases of cancer linked to them.

As an aside, and perhaps a tad off topic, I do not think that if I were the mother of a pre-school child I would be especially attracted to a home where a child, around the same age as mine, died of a mysterious form of cancer.

Perhaps thats just me, but I'm not attracted to places where tragic events have taken place.

Default Don't Touch the Iron!

Had a friend whose Mom always freaked the television out or any electrical equipment in the house. The equipment just stopped working when she came close to it. He spent most of his time getting things to work again.

Presumably her bodily aurora had some sort of EMF effect. Interesting though.

My dad could never wear a watch because they would always stop running.

My great uncle, who raised my dad, was a "water witch" and was the person everyone called when they needed to know where to dig a well. My dad tried his hand at it too and I think was fairly successful. I remember as a kid following him around with a stick with a Y in it in my hands, trying to imitate what he was doing. My stick would point down, but I helped it.

That would be me. of course.

I get nausea, not paranoia or anything weird like that. Funny enough, I love to vaccuum because it seems to distort a lot of signal, I love it. When you have TV, sound, computer, wireless networking, lighting, its a bit overwhelming and I feel nauseated. This is exactly why i can't stand still at work and get up frequently. I can only stand it for so long.. The biggest offenders of EMF are those overhead florecient lighting you see in 100% of places in the United States. Walmart and places of work, when those places are on I feel like im on the sun

Now everyone knows my secret.

That is kind of creepy both of you have that high pitch noise in your ear, at the same time!
