Prútikár z francúzskej knihy o poverách z 18. storočia

Prútikárstvo je pseudovedecká metóda, ktorá sa pokúša nájsť podzemnú vodu, kovy alebo rudy, drahokamy, ropu, hroby, alebo iné predmety a materiály bez použitia vedeckých prístrojov. Neexistujú vedecké dôkazy o tom, že tento spôsob je účinnejší než náhodný výber miesta. [1] Prútikári sú mnohokrát uspešní vďaka tomu, že v skúmanej lokalite je vysoká šanca natrafiť na podzemnú vodu. [2]

ISBN 1-57607-654-7 "Despite widespread belief, careful investigation has demonstrated that the technique of dowsing simply does not work. No researcher has been able to prove under controlled conditions that dowsing has any genuine divining power... A more likely explanation for the movement of a dowser's focus is the ideomotor effect, which entails involuntary and unconscious motor behavior."
