Street lamps and artwork
I have a similar effect on streetlamps as hygor does back on page 11. Countless times have I approached a street lamp (even nowhere near the time they automatically go off) either on foot or in my car and it has gone off.

When I was at uni I lived in the same halls 2 years in a row. We had a lamp mounted on the corner of the building I lived in. The first time it went off as I approached I thought nothing of it. Second time, I thought it was odd that it should happen twice and maybe something was wrong with it. About the 20th time it went off as I got near to it I’m starting to think I have a bad aura or something. People didn’t believe me, claiming I was imagining it since it stayed on as they passed it. I could sneak up on the light, hiding in the bushes on the approach to it, but it would always see me and go off just as I thought I was past. Bastard thing! I don’t know whether it’s spoo(o)ky as such or there is a conspiracy out to get me to stub my toe or fall into a hedge thanks to lack of light.

When I was in primary school, I had a dream one night I was walking down a corridor and someone’s crappy poster paint “art” fell off the wall just in front of me. Sure enough the next day it happened as I was ambling without a care in the world at break time. I leapt up in the air out of a mix of surprise and terror about my premonition! If I could predict that what else could I predict?! Unfortunately my clairvoyance has not returned since.

“..and burst through the placenta!” Another long time lurker first time poster. Balls the size of coconuts you say??
