    There are forms of electro-sensitivity that can disturb people, but usually it’s from loud and poorly phased circuits in homes. Never wifi.

    A lot of errie/haunted buildings are actually just electrically loud, and a number of them become peaceful once the wiring is fixed.

      I knew someone who claimed to get migraines from being near devices but way less if their is a cactus right next to the device.

      Scientifacly its a myth and makes no sense but i knew them good enough that they really suffered from migraines and really believed the cacti helped.

      Anecdotally i heard of a family that had to move because one of their kids developed head aches after a new cell tower was put up.

        I have yet to see a proper blind study. As in, opaque box with wifi router that is randomly turned on or off, and someone has to tell if it is on or off without knowing. Especially at wifi levels.

      Both can be true. The electrical noise just makes it easier for them to be heard.

      Edit: I did not think I needed an /s for this…

        Fuck do you mean “both”? Like the houses are actually haunted? Or wifi actually makes people sick?

        One of the makes you fun crazy, the other makes you lead paint crazy.
