This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Why do the cables ONLY vibrate between these two poles? (youtu.be)

I've seen this phenomenon many times over the years, while walking the dog out behind our house. The cables wiggle between these two particular power poles, but NOT between the adjacent poles (or any others, along this pole line). There is no wind, no earthquakes, no herds of animals or large vehicles/machinery anywhere nearby when this is happening. I honestly have no idea why this happens sometimes. Thoughts? I mean, sure, it's probably ghosts, right? But any other explanation would be appreciated...

This is indeed very interesting. I can reccomend asking the telecom company that owns the line with a quick email as to whats going on here, they usually like to answer such questions. Maybe post in a sub thats more familiar with mechanics/electronics or even general asklemmy?
