How electrecution happen at high voltage in near proximity without touching( HV lines).

Contrary to popular belief, electricity doesn’t work like how most people believe it does, such as electrons don’t move through the wire and circuits don’t need to be connected to work, the reason this is taught is because that’s the simplest way to explain it
What happens is that electrons are accelerated and dump their energy into protons, then accelerated again by the magnetic field that forms when a power source and load are in a circuit, if you have an electric toothbrushes, wireless chargers
than that’s how they work without happening to having to be plugged into by a cable, that’s also how transformers covert a high voltage to a lower voltage since the gap between them the two circuits are insulted by enough air to reduce the voltage enough
In most cases, the air is a good enough insulator that this isn’t an issue, but once you get to a high enough voltage you do like with your example of high voltage lines or Tesla coils
