Old Yankee dowser finds water in Cornish New Hampshire
Stanley W. Colby, a 70 year old Cornish resident, believes dowsing is a born talent as he demonstrates using a forked elm root stick to locate underground water on his 92 acre farm. Hydrology professor Dr. Francis R. Hall questions scientific proof, while local contractor Norm St. Aubin supports Colby’s results. A nearby oddity note mentions a 300 pound shark seen on a Manhattan sidewalk.
