What is dowsing and what are dowsing rods?

Dowsing has been used for centuries and was first used to find water underground. Dowsers would use the rods to point the way to an underground water source where a well could be dug.

Dowsing was then used to locate the sites of unmarked graves and from there it branched out to the paranormal to locate ghosts as it is said that they locate engery.

People who dowse are called "dowsers" and what they use are usually two L shaped rods approx 2 feet long or a Y shaped rod. They can be made from either sticks, copper wire or even coat hangers. They walk around the area and concentrate on what they are looking for. The rods then point in the direction of what the dowser is concentrating on. When the energy source is found, the rods will either point downward (Y dowsing rod) or criss/cross over each other (L shaped).
