Pfff I do that on a daily basis
Can you imagine seeing that shit happen, though? It would spook the bejesus out of me.

That picture, so good.

But the manhole cover had been paved over (the road surface was new), and the man had to find where it was to dig in the right place. He got out of the truck, on the front bumper were two hooks, across which were two rods like this: [IMG]http://www.outbackonline.net/alluvial_mining/DiviningRods.jpg[/IMG] He took them, walked in front of the truck with them pointed forwards, and as he walked they spun around backwards; he walked backwards a bit and they spun around forwards. He then took a can of marking paint and sprayed an X on the ground, then dug with a jackhammer and there it was. I couldn't believe it, I thought all that water divining shit was fake and I was creeped out for the rest of the day (what else that I [I]thought [/I]was fake is actually real?!)

pff baptists, thats what you get for not using a catholic exorcist. damn baptists all thinking they can drive out demons, only the catholics can do that

I wonder if that picture is of a display mannequin hmmm....
Diving rods work on the ideomotor effect. Basically, you're unconsciously causing the rods to wiggle and move. Like with other similar things like ouija boards, they operate on the same principle.
[QUOTE]However, psychiatrists who interviewed Ammons' children determined that she had induced her children into delusional behaviour, though neither Ammons nor the children were deemed to be psychotic.[/QUOTE] Read the article people. Go home, nothing to see here.

Why would the guy be doing this trickery if there wasn't an audience? I was watching from a distance, he's just a city worker with a hi-vis jacket and a hard hat..
I don't believe in water divining and other kinds of pseudoscientific nonsense, but I do believe that there's often an underlying truth or principle behind these things that get misinterpreted and attributed to some weird paranormal thing, because people just have a creative fantasy and not enough knowledge. Take "haunted houses", for instance. Some studies suggest that haunted houses have nothing to do with ghosts, but are caused by low infra-sound, coming off of highways, passing trains, or just geometry. Infrasound creeps people out, because they can't hear it, but they can feel something is 'off'. Combine that with a dark place and being on edge, and it can cause one to see, feel or hear all sorts of spooky things. Maybe it's the same with water divining. Maybe it works, but because of a really mundane reason. Such as, maybe places that have water under them tend to be slightly bumpy/slanted, causing whoever walks over them to be just off balance enough to tip the two rods. Who knows. Sometimes you just have to accept that something works, even if you can't exactly explain why (yet). The world is full of "grandma's tips 'n tricks" like that.

People go in there, thinking that the place is haunted, and they creep themselves out. They see shit because they imagine shit, and then there're sounds. Sounds can be produced by anything, starting from temperature changes affecting the building materials. Some old and abandoned places have weird acoustics too, lack of maintenance made walls go hollow in places, and sound going through the air flow get distorted in all sorts of ways, that's where "voices" are coming from. Abandoned and cleared-up warehouses have this well-known effect, where sounds that are actually coming from the outside appear to come from "precisely that corner". We creep ourselves out succesfully without any infra-sound and whatnot most of the time.

The idea is that the person senses something on subconscious level that they cannot perceive consciously but instead, it propagates as tension in their arms that would be hard to judge just like that, so they use either the rods or a spring or a twig to be able to visualize the tension in their arms exactly, that way. I honestly have no idea if it works but considering how widespread it is among the people who used it for otherwise absolutely menial job and use it even when nobody asks them about what they gonna do and why, I can't fathom why would they do it if it didn't work and nobody cares about the "show". One my old friend is an Orthodox priest and wanted to get a well drilled, but he felt anxious about calling somebody who advertises using a dowsing rod because for religious reasons so, instead he went and called to a legit registered company specialized on drilling wells and that kind of shit, completely normal kind of a deal, no shenanigans advertised, good references and reviews, nothing suspicious. They agreed on a day to start the work on, the company workers showed up, and as the very first thing, without trying to put up a show or talking about it at all, a fucker pulls out a dowsing rod and starts parading around the place for the legit measurement. I really dunno how is it supposed to work, but considering valid professionals regularly do it without caring if anybody knows about it or not and somehow don't go out of business makes me believe it has to work one way or another.
