Pendulum dowsing

[OutofSyncGirl]

I have a friend who bases major decisions on pendulum dowsing. Important stuff like buying a house! The problem is that the predictions are often proved to be wrong. And yet she still does it.

I don't believe this works. Surely the person doing it subconsciously controls it?

I know it works for predicting the sex of an unborn baby. To and fro for a girl and circular for a boy. I've never been proved wrong yet

I'm quite sceptical. The boy and girl thing - since there is a 50% chance of either then it's also reasonable chance that a dowser will give the 'correct' answer.

A while ago, some dowsers gamely participated in a double-blind experiment with Richard Dawkins. I think this is it...

Interesting!

I think the idea is the subconscious is meant to control it. That's the point

But if your subconscious is controlling it then it can't give accurate answers to questions like where there is a water leak surely?

Well apparently the inner conscious knows these things when we just tune in. I think water rods are slightly different to pendulum dowsing. I think.

Does anyone happen to know how many people were involved in that experiment with Richard Dawkins? It doesn't look like the largest "study".
