MY 'SLIDER' EXPERIENCE
About 30 years ago I did a cycle-camping trip around Lincolnshire (England), and as I passed Cranwell RAF college and airfield in the early hours of the morning on a deserted road, the row of streetlights in this (modern google street view,) pic went out one by one as i passed them, and came back on a few seconds later-
(North on right)
I thought somebody was pranking me, so I just cycled on without giving it any more thought.
Some time later I heard that other people all over the world had experienced it too, so I searched the net and saw it's a fairly well-known thing called the 'Slider' effect (pics below from the net).
I never tried to do it deliberately, it just happened, and it's never happened to me since, and neither have i tried to make it happen.
Perhaps there's a lot of "psychic energy" or whatever around old airfields because of all the student pilots who trained there, many of whom were killed in WW2.
