Broomsticks not standing up straight, wonder if they're made from a peach-tree limb? That's what my family has used for generations for witching water. Coming from a long lineage of family members who can do this but also being very pragmatic in nature, I am still looking for the scientific explanation for this phenomenon. Could some earthquake sensitives be the water witchers of yesterday? My equilibrium is extremely sensitive compared to other people and I'm betting the explanation lies there somewhere.
