I knew this fellow that bought a property on a piece of unincorporated land in Prescott Az. He wanted to dig a well and the locals all recommended a local well known water witch.
Well my friend , a man of science scoffed at the idea and hired not one but two professional geological survey companies that specialize in locating water. Both companies came out and did extensive surveys and studies and both came back with the same findings. There is no water under your property, thank you very much, please pay your bill.
Out of desperation more than anything else, he turned to the water witch. The old man showed up with his stick, walked around the property for about 20 minutes and pointed to a spot on the ground and said " You have two underground streams that converge on this spot, place your well here and you'll have all the water you can use."
So he did, and the old man was right. He had the best flowing well in the whole area.
He told me if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes he never would've believed it.
My grandfather was a Missouri farmer born in the late 1800's, and my dad told me how he watched him locate water the same way. By cutting a fresh willow branch and walking around with it until it pulled downward.
There has to be some kind of science to all this. These are just two of many of these stories I've heard.
