Paranormal Adept
I will limit my reponse to this thread's original post to a personal anecdote about dowsing and let time sort out the rest.
The incident in question happened decades ago and details are hazy. But I still believe the essentials to have happend as recalled. My father had a small piece of property criss-crossed with a network of old and unused drainage lines. If memory serves, they were a kind of clay pipe. No plat or plan was apparently available to indicate their whereabouts and my father, for reasons I cannot recall, needed to know their locations. He contacted a dowser. I still have a hazy mind's image of the dowser pacing over the area with copper tubes and coat hangers extended.
I recall the dowser's efforts as a success, with everyone on site duly impressed. Granted, this was very much an uncontrolled experiment. But I recall my normally skeptical father and others as positively impressed.
FWIW
