Bad film problem

I just developed my first roll of Ilford Delta 3200. I went with stock id-11 for 7:45, because it's at 74 degrees.

The film has a weird problem. I wish I could post a contact sheet, maybe I will later after it dries. The first 4 shots are good, and the last shot is good, and everything in between is bad. They're all very dark (i.e. looking over-exposed), but there's some long, darker squiggly lines and shapes on the film that go across several frames. They kind lof look like thick lightning.

I can't imagine what I could have done to cause this. If I had developed it wrong, then all would be bad, or maybe one side might be bad and not the other (like if I didn't agitate enough and the film was sitting out of the developer). But that's not it. Also, there are streaks between frames 10 and 11.

It's very odd. I'll have to post a pic once they're dry. I don't want to immediately assume that the film stock is bad, but I'm leaning that way.

Edit: One other possibility is that the film was touching itself on the reel. I've never had a problem loading on this reel though (plastic type), and nothing felt wrong when I loaded it. Hmmm.

Scan would be best. However, the first thing coming to mind with you lightning discription would be some sort of static discharge. Without a visual it's tough to tell.

Ah, I have figured out what the problem is.

I was looking at the bad frames, which were all very badly overexposed, and noticed that the streaks did not go from one frame to the other, and they were totally random. On some they were big, and on some they were small. It occurred to me that they look like very long exposures where the camera is moved around a lot. Bingo. I checked the lens, and it is malfunctioning. It is sticking open if you set it to 1/8th second or slower exposure.

mrdarklight, I have had static electricity discharges only one time. It was a very dry windy day. To minimize the occurring under such conditions, advance the film very slowly. The quick jerking of the film causes the static release.
