Google is one of the most powerful corporations in the world, with many believing the technology giant is responsible for monitoring our every move online. <br /> <br />However, that power might be more overarching than we could ever have imagined, after reports of a static electric field existing outside Google’s London HQ. <br /> <br />People say they’ve received electric shocks outside the building, while videos purportedly show the phenomenon in action, with hair appearing to stand on end. <br /> <br />Although Google has declined to comment on the supposed phenomenon, an electric buzz can be heard in one of the videos. <br /> <br />While some Reddit users have questioned the authenticity of the videos, others have speculated that it could be caused either by a problem with electrical wires underneath the street or by the design of the building with a mesh of metal poles generating static electricity. <br /> <br />Whatever the cause of the unusual phenomenon, UK Power Networks earlier confirmed that the area was safe.
