Fig. 1 The traditional dowsing of wells with a willow rod was supposed to be based on the detection of the radiation emanating or reflecting from underground water. The unconscious hand movements cause the up and down movement of the tensed rod.

Fig. 2 Original test results of Kari-Koskinen et al. [10] modified as pairs on each test path. The upper curves of each of the four paths are the original summary curves of dowsing results on foot and the lower ones by moving car, with the windows covered. The height of the curve indicates the number of the result points (0–20) at each position (0–150m) on the test path.

Fig. 3 A typical VHF spectrum in Finland before analog TV transmission ended. The highest peaks were the horizontally modulated signals of FM radio (100MHz) and analog TV (200MHz) masts.

Fig. 4 VHF electromagnetic spectrum of the frequency up to 230MHz at the test area (Lmaa2) at present. The highest peaks are the signals of FM radio. The analog TV signals near 200MHz, are now missing. Pathophysiology 2012 19, 89-94DOI: (10.1016/j.pathophys.2012.01.004) Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Ireland Ltd Terms and Conditions

Fig. 5 The RF spectrum up to 2.5GHz at present. The highest peaks are the GSM signals 900/1800/2100MHz. Pathophysiology 2012 19, 89-94DOI: (10.1016/j.pathophys.2012.01.004) Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Ireland Ltd Terms and Conditions

Fig. 6 The upper curve (a) is one (Lmaa2) of the four original summary curves of the four test paths of dowsing results on foot, and the lower curve (b) is the same path by car. The amplitude of curve (b) is modified from the original paper (Kari-Koskinen et al. [10]) to the same magnitude as curve (a).

Fig. 7 The cross correlation functions of each pair of curves of the first two functions in the graph, the results in Oulu (Lmaa1, Lmaa2), show a single peak. The last two functions show two small peaks which possibly show that in the Jyväskylä experiments (Jyv1, Jyv2) the opposite runs form their own peaks in the correlation function and thus the correlation maximum is lower than in the Oulu experiments.

Fig. 8 The probability so that by chance get as much points near the crossing water hose as the test subjects had, presented as a function of the distance R(m). Seven qualified test subjects (lower graph) sat in the car and six subjects (upper graph) walked on the 70m test path where the hose (with running water) was buried. Values were calculated from the results of Kari-Koskinen et al. [10]. Pathophysiology 2012 19, 89-94DOI: (10.1016/j.pathophys.2012.01.004) Copyright © 2012 Elsevier Ireland Ltd Terms and Conditions
