Australian Skeptics have retained their $110 000 prize after 84 tests were performed during the annual Mitta Muster near Albury-Wodonga on Sunday 10 March to see if anyone could demonstrate an ability to ‘divine’ water. In what was the world’s largest scientific test of water divining, 20 two litre bottles full of sand or water were placed randomly in an open area to see if water diviners could identify the contents of each bottle. There was no time limit and bottles were moved periodically throughout the day to ensure fairness. “The results showed no doubt,” said Charles Sturt University psychology lecturer and event organiser, Dr Krissy Wilson. “All results fell into the expected pattern for random results and no pattern for any ‘diving’ abilities. We had participants from across NSW and Victoria take the test, and none were scientifically proved to have any particular psychic ability to find water.” Chief investigator from Australian Skeptics, Mr Ian Bryce, observed that, “The results when charted revealed a classic ‘bell curve’ showing results that we would expect from random chance”. Australian Skeptics remain willing to search for the evidence that divining is a real phenomenon. The $110 000 prize remains available for anyone able to demonstrate any paranormal claim under controlled conditions.
