Now turns out the stone in question is not on Bodmin Moor but on Dartmoor..it is the end stone at Merrivale.
The gentleman who contacted me is out to prove that stones do not have these powers (nor do trees in Essex). He feels people should not be allowed to make statements like this without scientific proof.

As someone who does not believe in ley lines and never gets any 'feeling' when near stones I would be interested in what others think about his thoughts. I know many of you do believe in the powers stones can have and that is fine by me, but scientifically can this ever be proved?

Discuss......

I find this a difficult one to answer because yes, I do get 'feelings' over some stones but normally they are collective stones as in a long barrow or tomb or a circle and I feel the ancestors. The setting they are in plays a huge part I'm sure but I have a friend who wont go near a certain stone for instance in a circle but has no problem with the others. I find that really odd but she is a dowser who seems to be very tuned in to things many of us just take for granted. She won't enter Duloe circle for love nor money and told me why. It was only when she explained that I began to 'see' what she was seeing, but it never bothered me and still doesn't. I think you either do or don't but it doesn't make you any more unusual than the next person.

If you're interested in getting some evidence for her skill it would be so so easy, you could blindfold her before you get there and then lead her randomly round the stones (or much better still, get someone else to, who doesn't know which is the particular stone). You'd not think a blindfold would prevent detection of whatever emanations they're supposed to be?

Would that not be brilliant? (and I'm not denying I'm sceptical about these sorts of things. But what's wrong with a bit of evidence? I would really like fairies and thylacines to exist. But a worldful of hoping doesn't make them real unfortunately. It's easy to convince yourself about things, the mind's a powerful thing. But surely there's nothing wrong with a bit of hard evidence to convince other people?)
