Jacqueline Priestman

Jacqueline Priestman is a British woman from Manchester who became notable for frequently collecting an excess of static electricity on her body, resulting in various household electrical malfunctions (such as exploding electrical sockets). Her plight was remedied by eliminating the artificial fiber carpeting in her home and the application of static discharge devices.[1][2]
