Experiences with and
comments on water witching
or divining continue to come
our way, the two most recent
letters from Bristol. Tenn.
and Bristol, Virginia, respec
tively.
The first, from J.H.
McGlothlin, of Route 6,
Bristol. Tennessee, extols the
use of copper wire as a
witching tool. In the following
paragraphs he describes its
use:
“I have found several
water wells, but I use two
copper wires. You take two
wires about 18 inches long
and bend about 2 inches
down. Place a wire in each
hand and close all fingers
tightly around the bend; then
extend the thumbs forward on
the wire.
“Walk slowly back and
forth over the ground where
you want to find water. When
you cross a sou.ee of water
the wires will cross. When
you are over the water the
wire will come back to a
forward position. By the way,
you hold the wire out in front
of you with your elbows
pressed to your sides.

1 HAVE NEVER MISSED
“I have never missed
finding water. 1 can’t tell you
how deep down, but it seems
the closer the tvater is the
stronger the wire will cross
when you come over the
stream.
“I have also seen people
find water with a peach tree
limb with a dime in the end of
a forked branch, but it didn’t
work for me. The copper wire
has not failed me yet.”
Mr. O. T. Powell, of
Bristol, Virginia, relates his
experience with “witching”
in locating water on his
property in Bristol in the
mid-thirties:
“About 1935 I built
outside the city limits of
Bristol, Va. and since city
water was not available, I had
to drill a well.
DIDN’T BELIEVE IN IT
“A very good friend of
mine heard about this and
told me I should let him test
the ground to determine if I
could locate water without
having to drill too deep, and
he explained his method of
water witching. I told him I
didn’t believe in this stuff.
Well, he insisted so much and
said it was free and why take a
chance.
“The day of the test he
showed up with a forked
branch cut from a locust tree.
My wife and I decided one
would walk on each side of
this friend and watch him
closely, for we had been told
by many non-believers that
they would twist the branch in
their hands. The walk across
the 200 foot started with my
wife and I watching closely all
the way; finally about V* of
the way across the lot the
upright end of the branch
started quivering and down it
went, breaking off in his
hand. I was sold on this so fast
that I insisted on putting a
stick in the ground right
there. He then started from
the opposite side of the lit and
the stick went down at the
same spot.
“When the well driller
arrived from Roanoke, Va. he
asked if I wanted him to drill
near my basement so I could
place the pumps inside the
basement and I said, ‘See that
stick in the ground, I want
your bit to start right on that
spot.’ He said, ‘You must
have had a water witch’ and
when I told him 1 had one he
stated there was nothing to
this.
n;
-V \
&
STRUCK A BIG STREAM
“We drilled and struck a
big stream about 94 feet down
and it served us well for many
years and some of our friends
that had stomach trouble and,
couldn’t drink treated water
would come weekly and get
jugs of drinking water. We :
enjoyed this well, but finally
the city water became avail
able and oui pump went out,
so we tapped on.”
A reader has asked me to
help him locate a water witch
in the Brevard, North Caro
lina area. If there is such a
person in or near Brevard I
would be happy to pass on the
information.
