Dowsing pendulums are fascinating. When watching somebody use a dowsing pendulum it is always up for interpretation whether that pendulum is being moved by the user. On ghost hunt investigations they are very useful when attempting to communicate with spirit. The ways to ensure that they are being used correctly are through demonstration and allowing the observer to use the pendulum on a personal basis.
You can view a video of a dowsing demonstration in our video vaults. The demonstration took place at the Commandery in Worcester. I will never forget the first time that I used a dowsing pendulum and was absolutely astounded by the fact that it really worked. It doesn't matter whether people believe that it is being moved by the user it is what is believed by the user that is important. In order to gain the confidence of new users to this form of communication it is important that they become attuned to a pendulum and begin to know what their yes and no responses are. Once this is interpreted it can be used quite safely during a ghost hunt investigation.
The dowsing pendulum will swing in a particular direction for yes and in another direction for no. The user needs to ensure that they keep their arms and hands as still as possible. The word “stop" should be used between each question to ensure that the Dowsing pendulum settles before answering the next. This is perhaps the most fascinating aspect of it all. Watching a moving object stop on demand without any attempt by yourself to stop it is very mysterious.
Once you have ascertained the correct responses these forms of communication are fantastic to use on ghost hunts in very active areas when communicating with spirit. Further reading about ghost hunting equipment can be found at our website http://www.HauntedHappenings.co.uk
