1 00:01:05,650 --> 00:00:58,300 in a moist corner of Australia lies the 2 00:01:10,510 --> 00:01:05,660 little town of meter meter not a lot 3 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:10,520 happens in bit emitter but today it's 4 00:01:19,030 --> 00:01:16,250 gearing up for a more hos master and a 5 00:01:21,070 --> 00:01:19,040 nearby wombat gulley the skeptics of 6 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:21,080 gathered to discuss the next day's 7 00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:30,410 dowsing challenge well what we found at 8 00:01:33,850 --> 00:01:31,970 last year's challenge is the water 9 00:01:38,770 --> 00:01:33,860 divinest were a very genuine very 10 00:01:42,130 --> 00:01:38,780 engaging group of people they had an and 11 00:01:45,190 --> 00:01:42,140 by very fervently that what they did was 12 00:01:46,990 --> 00:01:45,200 correct at the end of the challenge and 13 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:47,000 no none of the professionals of honors 14 00:01:52,990 --> 00:01:50,450 have come close we found that they had 15 00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:53,000 no animosity and awful and treated the 16 00:01:58,449 --> 00:01:56,330 whole event as a social opportunity and 17 00:02:01,749 --> 00:01:58,459 most of them as they left said we'll see 18 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:01,759 you next year so my thought on water 19 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:05,450 dividing I don't believe it works 20 00:02:10,660 --> 00:02:07,490 but I do believe that they will be 21 00:02:13,870 --> 00:02:10,670 practices everywhere sincere believe 22 00:02:21,809 --> 00:02:13,880 that it works I'm hoping we can convince 23 00:02:36,050 --> 00:02:24,209 and I look forward to seeing them all 24 00:02:42,030 --> 00:02:39,360 the mighty Miller master has all the 25 00:02:59,290 --> 00:02:42,040 traditional features of an Aussie bush 26 00:03:08,030 --> 00:03:05,150 water diviners this is the MIT emitter 27 00:03:17,390 --> 00:03:08,040 tennis court but there'll be a different 28 00:03:19,010 --> 00:03:17,400 game played here today can you tell me 29 00:03:22,190 --> 00:03:19,020 something about the setup here for the 30 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:22,200 dowsers today oK we've got 25 bottles 31 00:03:27,050 --> 00:03:24,810 filled with either water or sand the 32 00:03:30,650 --> 00:03:27,060 number of sand is around a number picked 33 00:03:35,180 --> 00:03:30,660 out of a hat between 5 and 15 people 34 00:03:36,830 --> 00:03:35,190 will be scored on 2020 targets the fact 35 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:36,840 that they feel least comfortable with 36 00:03:40,910 --> 00:03:39,330 least company about they can discard and 37 00:03:42,860 --> 00:03:40,920 if they don't discard them will randomly 38 00:03:46,250 --> 00:03:42,870 discard pride from their score sheet and 39 00:03:48,470 --> 00:03:46,260 if anybody gets 17 or more right out of 40 00:03:49,850 --> 00:03:48,480 their 20 they can then go for the 41 00:03:51,620 --> 00:03:49,860 hundred and ten thousand dollar prize 42 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:51,630 and a much more tightly controlled test 43 00:03:55,550 --> 00:03:53,970 for the skeptics challenge normally when 44 00:03:59,050 --> 00:03:55,560 you when you darling what is your 45 00:04:13,820 --> 00:03:59,060 success rate 100 percent 46 00:04:16,250 --> 00:04:13,830 oh my you Wow and it just bends it up 47 00:04:18,500 --> 00:04:16,260 right so straighten it out again you 48 00:04:21,170 --> 00:04:18,510 break too many sticks yeah yeah oh I'll 49 00:04:23,570 --> 00:04:21,180 break stuff that big right hey let me 50 00:04:34,370 --> 00:04:23,580 talk whisky no fans that'd be something 51 00:04:39,770 --> 00:04:36,950 before the contest could get underway 52 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:39,780 the dowsers needed to be sure no 53 00:04:53,590 --> 00:04:51,810 underground streams would interfere you 54 00:04:56,570 --> 00:04:53,600 going to make sure that maybe there's no 55 00:04:58,640 --> 00:04:56,580 underground interference before the oh I 56 00:05:00,020 --> 00:04:58,650 just said these three me up there last 57 00:05:02,180 --> 00:05:00,030 year there was a little stream every 58 00:05:04,130 --> 00:05:02,190 last year but did that won't worry me 59 00:05:08,450 --> 00:05:04,140 because I could tell the difference in 60 00:05:11,810 --> 00:05:08,460 the pool at last year's event 61 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:11,820 the bottles were placed like this the 62 00:05:16,750 --> 00:05:14,130 dowsers were asked to identify any 63 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:16,760 underground streams 64 00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:20,010 unfortunately no two dowsers could agree 65 00:05:30,540 --> 00:05:27,990 well underground streams have never been 66 00:05:33,180 --> 00:05:30,550 detected from thousands of drill holes 67 00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:33,190 that are put down every month looking 68 00:05:36,990 --> 00:05:35,290 for water thousands of little holes to 69 00:05:38,610 --> 00:05:37,000 put down every month looking for 70 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:38,620 minerals and thousands of drill holes 71 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:40,450 looking for coal there are also 72 00:05:45,780 --> 00:05:43,570 thousands of fasts in Australia where 73 00:05:49,500 --> 00:05:45,790 people go underground to look for coal 74 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:49,510 to mine metals those underground streams 75 00:05:53,970 --> 00:05:51,730 haven't been found now it's really odd 76 00:05:55,620 --> 00:05:53,980 that the dowsers can find them with a 77 00:05:57,810 --> 00:05:55,630 piece of stick yet when you have a 78 00:05:59,190 --> 00:05:57,820 three-dimensional view of the earth you 79 00:06:01,230 --> 00:05:59,200 don't seem to find them do they do they 80 00:06:03,990 --> 00:06:01,240 just sort of disappear when you put a 81 00:06:06,780 --> 00:06:04,000 hole on the ground that stream will tell 82 00:06:09,690 --> 00:06:06,790 you about the one that's 400 feet man I 83 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:09,700 can't stand up on the actual stream it 84 00:06:14,490 --> 00:06:11,050 just knocks leg straight out from 85 00:06:25,430 --> 00:06:14,500 underneath me that's really moving the 86 00:06:31,950 --> 00:06:29,340 so you're a young dowser and how do you 87 00:06:34,980 --> 00:06:31,960 normally go yeah 88 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:34,990 you have good success yes I do I'm very 89 00:06:40,140 --> 00:06:37,450 good at picking up septic tanks septic 90 00:06:41,940 --> 00:06:40,150 tanks okay that must be an interesting 91 00:06:47,580 --> 00:06:41,950 reaction you get for a septic tank oh 92 00:06:48,450 --> 00:06:47,590 yes and can you pick up water yes and 93 00:06:50,310 --> 00:06:48,460 what do you think with the whole 94 00:06:52,020 --> 00:06:50,320 experiment here today the whole setup 95 00:07:00,420 --> 00:06:52,030 did do you think it's quite reasonable 96 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:00,430 or not reasonable these bottles were 97 00:07:48,429 --> 00:07:40,280 each dowser was accompanied by a skeptic 98 00:08:04,379 --> 00:07:52,089 on a day of high tension there was more 99 00:08:09,159 --> 00:08:04,389 to come every dowser had their own 100 00:09:16,160 --> 00:08:09,169 tried-and-true technique some had single 101 00:09:27,990 --> 00:09:21,590 some had a pendulum yeah 102 00:09:30,390 --> 00:09:28,000 even to wires so you've just you've just 103 00:09:32,850 --> 00:09:30,400 finished your the trial run there how do 104 00:09:34,530 --> 00:09:32,860 you think you won oh well I worked out 105 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:34,540 what was going on with them that it's 106 00:09:40,500 --> 00:09:36,730 sort of no problems picking up today 107 00:09:42,450 --> 00:09:40,510 something the sample bottle was 108 00:09:45,300 --> 00:09:42,460 interfering a little bit with one there 109 00:09:49,170 --> 00:09:45,310 and maybe they should move in further 110 00:09:50,700 --> 00:09:49,180 back but where they're pretty clear cap 111 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:50,710 which one's ever water on top of the 112 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:52,330 yeah you had no trouble determining 113 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:54,130 which is that now they do it's a couple 114 00:10:01,590 --> 00:09:56,410 of those frames but yeah the only one 115 00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:01,600 was long side one biaxial limit limited 116 00:10:06,030 --> 00:10:04,570 the pool from the strain and that can 117 00:10:16,590 --> 00:10:06,040 direct that the X to pull a gun on the 118 00:10:17,970 --> 00:10:16,600 water so it's work on that there is a 119 00:10:30,060 --> 00:10:17,980 couple of hidden strains but they're not 120 00:10:55,650 --> 00:10:30,070 interference team please be consistent 121 00:11:00,079 --> 00:10:55,660 thank you consistency will be so you've 122 00:11:04,730 --> 00:11:00,089 concluded notice he didn't use a doesn't 123 00:11:10,500 --> 00:11:07,620 I just use my hands and did you get a 124 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:10,510 good result today yeah I got six hours a 125 00:11:15,300 --> 00:11:12,850 little bit skeptical about 126 00:11:17,579 --> 00:11:15,310 I crossed out five now let's number 13 127 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:17,589 purely because I thought well you know 128 00:11:23,579 --> 00:11:20,410 I've just gotta lose one it's gonna be 129 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:23,589 that line but they love Mazda delivery 130 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:26,410 you can tell it's an award this is my 131 00:12:03,259 --> 00:11:48,970 time moves slowly in mitt emitter but 132 00:12:08,879 --> 00:12:05,220 well what happened with the squeaking 133 00:12:10,710 --> 00:12:08,889 horn was $1.00 in a pub okay sitting 134 00:12:16,049 --> 00:12:10,720 their head like you know I put these on 135 00:12:18,179 --> 00:12:16,059 like this one day and this person came 136 00:12:19,970 --> 00:12:18,189 up to me you guys are just like you 137 00:12:27,079 --> 00:12:19,980 can't come into a pub like this what 138 00:12:36,900 --> 00:12:29,359 when he's quit the horn 139 00:12:38,970 --> 00:12:36,910 Patel which bottles of beer so after 140 00:12:44,909 --> 00:12:38,980 about 4700 I decide to come down here 141 00:12:49,259 --> 00:12:44,919 I'll give this a go I mean now and I 142 00:13:03,689 --> 00:12:49,269 believe so yeah I'm actually supposed to 143 00:13:06,689 --> 00:13:03,699 say this is actually a scientific test 144 00:13:08,639 --> 00:13:06,699 because the water board can find a leak 145 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:08,649 in a pipe within about two foot radius 146 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:13,689 by listening to the sound from the noise 147 00:13:20,519 --> 00:13:16,689 of the leak so they go up to one in a 148 00:13:27,100 --> 00:13:20,529 play listen you know frequency device 149 00:13:35,420 --> 00:13:31,790 because of the difference in time where 150 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:35,430 the late kids difference between Sam and 151 00:13:41,180 --> 00:13:37,250 water is it has a different dig 152 00:13:44,660 --> 00:13:41,190 frequency density story now technically 153 00:13:45,620 --> 00:13:44,670 speaking if you're not tone deaf you 154 00:13:49,250 --> 00:13:45,630 should be able to hear the difference 155 00:13:51,500 --> 00:13:49,260 between what's and what's not the same 156 00:13:55,550 --> 00:13:51,510 way you can go up to a drum knocker and 157 00:13:58,940 --> 00:13:55,560 go this is full this one something 158 00:14:03,410 --> 00:13:58,950 different you rather go different 159 00:14:13,060 --> 00:14:03,420 density different sound to different 160 00:14:13,070 --> 00:14:36,180 well each to their own device 161 00:15:00,810 --> 00:14:38,710 there are many different steps to 162 00:15:33,730 --> 00:15:04,900 while off the court the dowsers never 163 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:35,930 it goes off to that scrimmage the 164 00:15:49,730 --> 00:15:42,810 warding is too far away from the water 165 00:15:52,420 --> 00:15:49,740 back here I suppose dowsing is more 166 00:15:56,270 --> 00:15:52,430 popular in Australia than most 167 00:15:57,830 --> 00:15:56,280 paranormal beliefs because of the effect 168 00:16:00,500 --> 00:15:57,840 of geography really we are the driest 169 00:16:02,810 --> 00:16:00,510 complan and water has never present need 170 00:16:05,140 --> 00:16:02,820 in our society and it isn't all that 171 00:16:07,970 --> 00:16:05,150 prevalent in this natural condition so 172 00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:07,980 there's a big incentive for people to be 173 00:16:12,250 --> 00:16:09,530 able to find underground water 174 00:16:15,710 --> 00:16:12,260 agriculture and for various other things 175 00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:15,720 so I would think that's a it's one of 176 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:17,130 the main reasons why dowsing is so 177 00:16:22,270 --> 00:16:20,730 popular here and it's now folk crafts if 178 00:16:24,860 --> 00:16:22,280 you like I mean people have been dowsing 179 00:16:28,430 --> 00:16:24,870 for a long long time not just in 180 00:16:32,270 --> 00:16:28,440 Australia but it attracts a certain 181 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:32,280 amount of urgency here because dowsers 182 00:16:36,470 --> 00:16:34,050 probably started in Europe where you 183 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:36,480 usually raise perhaps here it usually 184 00:16:42,430 --> 00:16:39,810 doesn't and I I would think that's the 185 00:16:45,410 --> 00:16:42,440 reason but I mean thousands by and large 186 00:16:47,390 --> 00:16:45,420 are sincere genuine believers that they 187 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:47,400 can find water are they probably can in 188 00:16:51,290 --> 00:16:49,290 a lot of instances but not for what 189 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:51,300 because they're twigs Bend all the bits 190 00:16:55,100 --> 00:16:53,010 of why I cross over all that the 191 00:16:58,160 --> 00:16:55,110 pendulum starts way but because they 192 00:16:59,720 --> 00:16:58,170 know the local territory they know where 193 00:17:03,130 --> 00:16:59,730 water is likely to be found most of them 194 00:17:05,300 --> 00:17:03,140 operate in their own locality and 195 00:17:07,850 --> 00:17:05,310 Bushies know their own area about lots 196 00:17:10,010 --> 00:17:07,860 of things that dowsing is just that sort 197 00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:10,020 of myth that's been planted on top of it 198 00:17:24,090 --> 00:17:20,909 it had been a long day on the mitt 199 00:17:33,490 --> 00:17:24,100 emitter tennis court but now it was game 200 00:17:33,500 --> 00:17:57,840 would the players be happy 201 00:18:04,239 --> 00:18:01,719 is it rainwater can say it's not it came 202 00:18:08,529 --> 00:18:04,249 out of Russell Kelley's hosts and you're 203 00:18:12,519 --> 00:18:08,539 saying they're consistent now find one 204 00:18:15,310 --> 00:18:12,529 that doesn't work I went to one place 205 00:18:27,909 --> 00:18:15,320 and had a wall painting they're three 206 00:18:31,419 --> 00:18:27,919 layers of water in any toilet over this 207 00:18:33,999 --> 00:18:31,429 it didn't work over that one it did work 208 00:18:35,950 --> 00:18:34,009 I know that he's saying it doesn't it 209 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:35,960 doesn't know they're yours you're 210 00:18:40,779 --> 00:18:38,570 telling me that this and there are 211 00:18:51,869 --> 00:18:40,789 exactly the same water sales all came 212 00:18:59,440 --> 00:18:55,029 saying there seems to be a differential 213 00:19:01,269 --> 00:18:59,450 somewhere but mine is now but I can pick 214 00:19:03,070 --> 00:19:01,279 up a certain amount of the bottles after 215 00:19:07,210 --> 00:19:03,080 they're uncovered the same as so I could 216 00:19:09,700 --> 00:19:07,220 pick up than before but the symbols I 217 00:19:11,649 --> 00:19:09,710 can't pick up at all they telling me 218 00:19:13,570 --> 00:19:11,659 that they're consistent now what is the 219 00:19:15,489 --> 00:19:13,580 difference between the ones I can pick 220 00:19:16,749 --> 00:19:15,499 up and the ones I can what what do you 221 00:19:18,789 --> 00:19:16,759 think might be the difference 222 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:18,799 the only explanation is that they're 223 00:19:24,159 --> 00:19:21,129 different water but they're saying not 224 00:19:28,180 --> 00:19:24,169 evil mine yeah I've got a simple bottle 225 00:19:30,639 --> 00:19:28,190 me I'm water yeah and it doesn't here to 226 00:19:32,889 --> 00:19:30,649 the bubbles okay so the ones that I 227 00:19:34,659 --> 00:19:32,899 can't pick up with their bowls to me are 228 00:20:36,049 --> 00:19:34,669 the same as my own vomit so it seems you 229 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:39,570 please the same opinions light bottles 230 00:20:46,500 --> 00:20:42,010 around gives you tips you are in the 231 00:20:48,419 --> 00:20:46,510 rain water and I'm work on yeah that's 232 00:21:28,970 --> 00:20:48,429 that's what we've got a forehead well 233 00:21:39,110 --> 00:21:31,130 they're on the top me in there all right 234 00:21:44,450 --> 00:21:39,120 we're not the same waters all the waters 235 00:21:48,410 --> 00:21:44,460 here came out of the same something 236 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:48,420 different this year yeah I wasn't able 237 00:21:56,570 --> 00:21:51,890 to pick em that good just just not today 238 00:22:01,580 --> 00:21:59,990 say your aunt you think this test was it 239 00:22:07,670 --> 00:22:01,590 may have been a bit unusual but it was a 240 00:22:10,790 --> 00:22:07,680 difficult fan who went on last year I 241 00:22:11,810 --> 00:22:10,800 didn't have any problems but I knew 242 00:22:17,630 --> 00:22:11,820 nothing about it 243 00:22:19,210 --> 00:22:17,640 so I I feel that the one question I want 244 00:22:21,050 --> 00:22:19,220 to know is whether anybody divined 245 00:22:23,570 --> 00:22:21,060 beforehand to find if there was any 246 00:22:25,250 --> 00:22:23,580 streams underneath the two years the 247 00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:25,260 older man who was here who's left now he 248 00:22:29,510 --> 00:22:26,730 did that he did that he declared it 249 00:22:36,260 --> 00:22:29,520 clearly he did okay and apart from that 250 00:22:39,350 --> 00:22:36,270 I mean in all intents and purposes I 251 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:39,360 think the test is fair you know that the 252 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:42,170 only other way would be an extremely 253 00:22:47,870 --> 00:22:44,730 complicated way which is to have sort of 254 00:22:50,570 --> 00:22:47,880 running water that can't be seen like 255 00:22:51,770 --> 00:22:50,580 intermittent running and no water or 256 00:22:53,300 --> 00:22:51,780 something like that because I think a 257 00:22:55,690 --> 00:22:53,310 lot of people that our diviners they're 258 00:22:59,510 --> 00:22:55,700 used to going out in the field where 259 00:23:03,380 --> 00:22:59,520 they're walking along or you know that 260 00:23:05,270 --> 00:23:03,390 there's running water in the ground how 261 00:23:07,910 --> 00:23:05,280 to test whether it's all accurate or 262 00:23:12,100 --> 00:23:07,920 true scientifically it's how to prove it 263 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:15,680 what what's the story well we haven't 264 00:23:19,820 --> 00:23:17,850 seen any evidence yet that dowsing works 265 00:23:22,190 --> 00:23:19,830 the scores are the the score sheets that 266 00:23:23,540 --> 00:23:22,200 have been marked so far the numbers are 267 00:23:25,310 --> 00:23:23,550 clustered around where the middle of the 268 00:23:26,580 --> 00:23:25,320 bell curve will be and the highest score 269 00:23:32,009 --> 00:23:26,590 so far 270 00:23:33,869 --> 00:23:32,019 13:20 that we're not finished yet I also 271 00:23:36,690 --> 00:23:33,879 think that because water divining has 272 00:23:38,639 --> 00:23:36,700 been so misunderstood the years and no 273 00:23:40,590 --> 00:23:38,649 one knows a great deal about you Cavani 274 00:23:42,269 --> 00:23:40,600 stagnant water and what convinced that 275 00:23:46,890 --> 00:23:42,279 if you take some really severe training 276 00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:46,900 on it and started 277 00:23:53,670 --> 00:23:51,130 being able to get results but - well 278 00:23:55,530 --> 00:23:53,680 actually looking for some bank might 279 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:55,540 fund those might be quite good people I 280 00:24:00,720 --> 00:23:57,090 think the biggest problem is that 281 00:24:02,100 --> 00:24:00,730 actually no one has enough money so if 282 00:24:04,140 --> 00:24:02,110 you're talking about water drilling and 283 00:24:06,870 --> 00:24:04,150 you're saying if you go along and Devine 284 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:06,880 and you say well ok I think streams here 285 00:24:12,270 --> 00:24:09,490 drill here and it could be 286 00:24:15,419 --> 00:24:12,280 about this many feet cost thousands of 287 00:24:18,120 --> 00:24:15,429 dollars to drill so and that's the only 288 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:18,130 conclusive evidence or proof in a way 289 00:24:34,169 --> 00:24:29,890 that you could do a real test since this 290 00:24:34,470 --> 00:24:34,179 morning that lost half their food all of 291 00:24:36,660 --> 00:24:34,480 them 292 00:24:40,140 --> 00:24:36,670 the water that I could pick up yeah has 293 00:24:42,540 --> 00:24:40,150 lost half they pull that is the right 294 00:24:44,940 --> 00:24:42,550 that they pull that is dropping as 295 00:24:49,780 --> 00:24:44,950 electricity dropped off what makes the 296 00:24:52,499 --> 00:24:51,400 when you're running out the fat first 297 00:24:55,169 --> 00:24:52,509 thing 298 00:24:58,529 --> 00:24:55,179 electricity and the longer you label 299 00:25:00,180 --> 00:24:58,539 molest electricity I could hold monthly 300 00:25:02,519 --> 00:25:00,190 me up there near without any trouble at 301 00:25:09,299 --> 00:25:02,529 all but see now a bunch of the victim is 302 00:25:25,129 --> 00:25:09,309 falling for me yeah because I've always 303 00:25:29,759 --> 00:25:28,079 now that the complaint is of course that 304 00:25:32,039 --> 00:25:29,769 the water lost its electric charge 305 00:25:33,599 --> 00:25:32,049 during the day yes because it stopped 306 00:25:36,299 --> 00:25:33,609 flowing when we got it out of the hose 307 00:25:38,699 --> 00:25:36,309 and put it in the bottle yeah and that 308 00:25:41,129 --> 00:25:38,709 it can be recharged now it works when he 309 00:25:45,809 --> 00:25:41,139 goes and shakes it up so the new physics 310 00:25:47,729 --> 00:25:45,819 is that you can charge like there's 311 00:25:49,859 --> 00:25:47,739 change water with static electricity by 312 00:26:00,059 --> 00:25:49,869 shaking we've discovered a new physical 313 00:26:02,999 --> 00:26:00,069 pen here today if the dowsers had picked 314 00:26:07,619 --> 00:26:03,009 on pure chance this is the way the graph 315 00:26:10,379 --> 00:26:07,629 would have looked if however they'd had 316 00:26:17,069 --> 00:26:10,389 seventy five percent success it would 317 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:17,079 have looked like this this is the 318 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:27,620 more in line with chance to dowsers 319 00:26:36,020 --> 00:26:31,290 achieved 13 out of 20 the highest score 320 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:36,030 of the day the skeptics in the money 321 00:26:41,510 --> 00:26:37,170 will return 322 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:41,520 we hope the dowsers will too drawn to 323 00:26:56,360 --> 00:26:53,250 meter like a dog to a bone the gang 324 00:26:59,000 --> 00:26:56,370 turned up armed with wire and wood to 325 00:27:01,340 --> 00:26:59,010 locate the water wherever they could by 326 00:27:03,950 --> 00:27:01,350 reading vibrations that come from the 327 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:03,960 ground which show where the water was 328 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:07,890 sure to be found they came to win money 329 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:10,770 at the dowsers convention but prayers of 330 00:27:16,700 --> 00:27:13,050 hope that the behind intervention to 331 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:16,710 help them to sense the old h2o then one 332 00:27:23,420 --> 00:27:20,490 by one they all had a go chance 333 00:27:25,490 --> 00:27:23,430 predicted the success they would face as 334 00:27:28,220 --> 00:27:25,500 they searched for the water all over the 335 00:27:30,650 --> 00:27:28,230 place at the muster in the hills up MIT 336 00:27:34,490 --> 00:27:30,660 emitter way who will dilute on the line 337 00:27:36,950 --> 00:27:34,500 they were ready to play walking in a 338 00:27:38,980 --> 00:27:36,960 circle or in a crisscross line with a 339 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:38,990 weight of belief in the autumn sunshine 340 00:27:44,660 --> 00:27:41,730 making sweat on their brows as they 341 00:27:48,530 --> 00:27:44,670 tried to tell which was just said and 342 00:27:51,380 --> 00:27:48,540 where was the well then the Sun went 343 00:27:53,630 --> 00:27:51,390 down on the muster of bitter the sweet 344 00:27:56,450 --> 00:27:53,640 taste of victory had turned a bit better 345 00:27:59,390 --> 00:27:56,460 for the dowsers and diviners had failed 346 00:28:02,010 --> 00:27:59,400 to find water maybe their rods should 347 00:28:04,890 --> 00:28:02,020 have been longer or shorter 348 00:28:07,919 --> 00:28:04,900 the contestants blame static and streams 349 00:28:10,860 --> 00:28:07,929 and fences that disturb the waves and 350 00:28:12,980 --> 00:28:10,870 twiddle their senses but the skeptics 351 00:28:16,410 --> 00:28:12,990 went home with their booty intact
