Streetlights. People. (Patreon)

As noted in the comments from yesterday's post (which you should read first if you haven't already), I decided to undertake a little "scientific experiment" last night and approach the mysterious streetlight from across the road. (Didn't finish the thought on video, but the other side of this road abuts Oxnard Blvd., my city's main thoroughfare, which just a little further on more or less merges with the Pacific Coast Highway. Anyway, there's no sidewalk over there, which is why I always walk on the other side. But it was no problem to just stroll in the middle of the street after midnight, as there's no traffic to speak of.) If nothing happened from over there, but the lamp subsequently went off/on when I doubled back and approached it from the sidewalk as usual, that would be pretty compelling evidence in favor of the hypothesis that something located beneath the pavement causes this odd behavior. And it turned out...well, see for yourself.
