Hi Woolav,
If your lights are flickering, that's probably a sign of a "short," which could cause a fire. You should ask around and get a good recommendation for an electrician. Have the electrician examine the wiring, repair/replace, if necessary. Don't use lights that flicker.
In a later post on this thread, Phillippa mentioned a mouse ate through the wires. That is really very dangerous. I have some friends who owned a store in town. There was a terrible fire at the store that destroyed everything. After the place was inspected for the cause of the fire, it was discovered that squirrels had eaten through the wires and caused a short.
Some of the things you describe sound spooky and quaint. Others are dangerous. Don't use lights that flicker. Call an electrician.
