How to Use Dowsing Rods

Paranormal investigators have used dowsing for spirits as a method of detecting electro-magnetic activity for centuries. Care should always be taken as lonely ghosts tend to latch on and go home with you, which actually happened to my sister after she went dowsing for spirits with a friend in old castle ruins in Herefordshire, England.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2 L-shaped brass rods

1. Holding the bent dowsing rods lightly below the point at which the right angle forms, walk around slowly. When an electromagnetic field or spirit is encountered, the rods should cross over one another in front of the dowser.

2. Ask simple questions with "yes" or "no" answers to elicit a reaction from the rods. Photograph the rods crossing with a digital camera, and you may see an orb in the picture. For the answer "yes," the rods will cross; for "no," they move away from each other.

3. Dowsing rods can be used to find water, graves, ley lines and oil as well as spirits. Ask the rods to point to a spirit, and they will comply. Nobody really knows how or why the dowsing rods work. However many swear by them and wouldn't use any other device or method to find whatever they're looking for.

Tips & Warnings

• Don't allow anyone to touch your rods
