Neighbourly Electrical Harassment?

[Urgent Advicepls]

I'm ignoring all innuendos.

@simpson93 a few times I've switched our electric meter off to observe what would happen. Harassment continued.

Last week £3 cleared the meter overnight ... Excessive for us... No washing machine left on, no pc plugged in.

The electricity box outside our house had been kicked in though

What could cause the bed AND the ironing board to shudder? A magnet?

A powerful loudspeaker in contact with the floor?

I'm not imagining it.

Thanks for the helpful comments so far.

Hi,i would forget the polter-stuff,and concentrate on the easily recordable,and tangible noise and voice stuff.
If this is genuinely occurring,your local authority will have a department,tasked with issues such as this. Any time marked evidence of this,by way of recordings,should allow them to instigate their own investigation.

You are only going to get two things,from a forum,such as this...a dozen more ideas to worry about...or a rake of (hopefully) good natured ribbing

Surely this is a wind-up?

Respectfully the OP should talk to their GP the shuddering of the bed and electric shock sensations could be symptoms of epilepsy. Probably made worse by the stress of the horrendous attack on their mother.
Wishing you well

Medical conditions such as high blood pressure can cause these sorts of sypmtons, I suggest you see a GP.

As others have said it's very doubtful that the electricity is causing these vibrations you speak of.
You mentioned your meter box cover has been vandalised, and your electric consumption overnight was excessive. It is entirely possible that the neighbors may have tapped into your supply illegally, unlikely though but not impossible. Contact your DNO Distribution Network Supplier, and the Police.
As for the constant noise which you believe is a looped recording, the Council and the Police need to be informed as well, if you call in the police, you will need evidence of harassment, if you can go to the extent of installing a CCTV camera, covering your house that would be one way of providing evidence, record the noises as well, not just over a day, as the Police will treat it as a one off incident, a longer period of recordings will be required, keep a detailed diary of occurrences, above all try not to antagonize the people next door, difficult I know, but you will only compound the matter if you do,
You could call the council and police now, but without proof there will be little they can do, and next door will stop for a few days to cool off, and then resume with their shenanigans, wait until you have sufficient evidence before you call anyone, hearsay will not wash in the eyes of the Law. good luck, and try not to let the boogers get you down.

This is not a wind up. I'm not epileptic. It's clearly a home made set up they've got going on, using different methods of harassment.

@PEG I've called the anti social team @environmentmenal health of my local council and they don't want to know unless it's happening while they are present & they're not interested in recordings.

The ironing board rocked along with the iron. At the same time there was a thunderous loud boom through the walls so I guess that was a loud speaker. BUT there are other times my bed jolts violently no noise (enough innuendos already).

This electric shock harassment worries me because on at least 2 occasions I've been burnt - I've described 1 such instance above. Electrical interference is as tangible as anything ELSE and that's why I'm here for advice.

@Johnduffel I overlooked your response "The electric shocks could certainly be from amateur radio though, If they have a high power transmitter that could eaisly cause harmless but uncomfortable/painful electric shocks"

I think you've partially solved my query! I also get the same vocal abuse over the radios in the house - It's timed anything from every 15 minutes to every 10 seconds or so. Other times you can clearly hear weird 'digitalised' disturbances over the radio and my phone. On one of my mobiles the radio station would change frequency - no input from me!
This happened for months.

The insults over the radios & during my mobile phone conversations however still happens. I've recorded examples.

The degrees of the electric shocks however varies & concerns me the most right now. It not only affects me but my Mum's at risk too.

Thank very much @Pete999, so much appreciated. I've been keeping a log & recordings for a while now.
That's exactly what they do - cool off for a week or so after I've say called the council or housing association, then it's back to square one.

The extreme lengths that they've gone to is surreal and never ending. I've only explained a snapshot of what we've been through because I anticipated a sceptical response.
But a few posts here have been helpful. Thanks again.

Hope it#s all sorted quickly.

@Urgent Advicepls, I concur with those suggesting you go and see your GP, no offence meant.

The things you mention are things from tv programmes & films, they don't happen in reality, and certainly the low life neighbours you speak of, would not have the intelligence or capability to even try such things.

Judging from a distance like this, we can jump to conclusions; but I wonder what advice the police & environmental health gave you. You've mention these things make you feel unwell.

There are many local support groups you can speak to, if you do not want to go to your GP. After all, why would it hurt to speak with someone about the things you are experiencing. Just like you've talked to us here.​

 

[Urgent Advicepls]

@Midwest it's the stereotypical thinking like yours why people - lowlife scum - get away with what they do. You're underestimating the intelligence of people living in less than salubrious areas. I'm afraid to say that the Police response has been similar so far. They just want an clear cut open & shut case. With their budget slashed if it's not a murder they're not really interested. But I'm sure "lessons will be learned".

If you read my posts you would know what Environmental Health's was.

You've completely ignored the fact that I mentioned I have recordings that authorities aren't keen to listen to. Don't patronise me.

 

[johnduffell]

This is very strange, i remember recently the American Embassy in China and also in Cuba perhaps had issues with workers becoming I'll with strange sensations in their bodies, eventually it was suspected some kind of interference like this.
It sounds far fetched but there's got to be one person in the country doing that. The trouble is the police don't even understand it.

 

[telectrix]

who you gonna call?

 

[stevethesparks]

If you live in an end of terrace house, then surely your neighbours two doors down would also be experiencing some of the noise/vibrations? Have you spoken to them?
If you have recordings as you say, how much information do you have?
Maybe consider hiring a professional witness, ie a solicitor, such a person should be able to get this sorted rather promptly.
