References Flashes occurring are reported in Circular Evidence and on the Circlemakers website. Circular Evidence also reports instances of photographic anomalies and cases such as the one in The Circular 23 turn up regularly. This photo, part of a panorama of a formation at Roundway Hill, was enlarged to show a discoid shape on the horizon. Macnish in Crop Circle Apocalypse details examples of malfunctioning equipment. Lucy Pringle of the CCCS conducted a long-running data collection exercise on physical effects. The episode of the 'trilling noise’ is described in The Cerealogist No. I by Lord Haddington and, humorously, in Schnabel's book. There are many anecdotal accounts of healing experiences associated with the circles and Pringle's collection of physical effects included both Dowsing references are given in greater detail in the resource section. Specific to dowsing in the circles are articles in The Cerealogist Nos 3 and 4, and a small book, Dowsing the Crop Circles, from Gothic Image. Dr Meaden mentions it in his first book, The Circles Effect and its Mysteries. (See also Further Reading. ) Isobel Kingston's story is told in The Cerealogist No. 4 and in Schnabel's book. The references to Icke, Messenger and Green all come from my own notes of various lectures. Practice Try pendulum dowsing as described in this chapter. A small amount of practice will allow you to become familiar with your own dowsing reactions, and you can use this method to 'answer' questions. This can then be applied to crop circle research. An obvious experiment is to obtain a sample ear of corn from a circle, together with a control from elsewhere in the field. With a friend, you can conduct a blind trial, testing the accuracy of your reactions in determining the circle sample from the control. If you visit a circle, what are your subjective experiences? Try meditating or contemplation, and note your responses. Approaching these aspects of the circles by direct experience, experimentation and observation will help to evaluate their importance for you as methods of investigation. beneficial and harmful effects. When in the field, monitor any equipment you take with you, such as cameras, watches, compasses etc. Do they malfunction?
