A few months back I tried divining at the Rollrights and was totally surprised that it seem to more or less work. However, the reason for this could easily have been slight muscle movements as much as some sort of weird phenomenon going on.

Scubi , that is pretty much what most people who have had a shot at dowsing experience , including scpetics . The rods/pendulums do move and may even move in the same way at the same spot multiple times .
There is no need to even attempt to move the rods , they will move with no intention or effort .What becomes interesting is the explanation for the movement of the rods and resulting claims .

I certainly don't doubt the result I had Mr T but the explanation for the result need to investigated scientifically and repeatable results showing the reason for it, produced. If somebody can produce this (and they may already have) and show that there is absolutely no other reason for it then I would believe that reasoning what ever it is.

However, there are many things in this universe that we know exist but don't know why, for example gravity. We know this exists throughout the universe, we know how it behaves and can predict this behaviour, but you ask a scientist what it actually is, what it is made of and what causes it then they are stumped. They may as well say it is a mystical power caused by supernatural forces or even God as those answers are as vague and useful as any others but still the force remains.
I suppose what I am trying to say here is that there are things that exist but we can't give a reason for them existing (at the moment) but that doesn't make them supernatural. It just means we haven't developed the technology or method by which we can study and measure them. If divining can be tested, retested and predicted under scientific methods then the cause may not be known but its existence cannot be denied.

I hope I explained that clearly if not to the point!!
