Only tried dowsing once on a site in the American West. It was not a
test and so failed to demonstrate anything. I was surprised by the
movement of the rods (made from two coat hangers) - odd feeling. Was
it the weight of the extended rods, was it the person holding them
(but not aware of what he was doing) or were they attracted to something.
The site was in Utah so the rods might have been trying to point to
the Great Temple in Salt Lake City. There might be something to
dowsing but probably not and if there is something there is no magic
involved, just some sort of magnetic (or other) attraction.

P.S. You people are really a bunch of "scientific" bigots. Think about
hypnosis - if you did not know about it and someone described it to you.
