Dowsing, aka water-witching has been around a long time. And you might be surprised that's still a thing. We get into all the nitty gritty of this pseudo-science today.
# Dousing: The Surprisingly Long-Lasting Art of Finding Water Underground
Ever wonder how people found water underground before modern technology? Josh and Chuck dive into the quirky history and persistent practice of dousing—also known as water-witching—where people use forked sticks, metal rods, or pendulums to locate everything from underground water and ore to buried treasure and even murder suspects. From its origins in 16th-century Germany through its surprising use by modern water companies in the UK, dousing has endured for over 500 years despite lacking scientific proof, and the show explores why some people still swear by it while skeptics dismiss it as pure bunk.
