Untitled[edit]

WATER WITCH—A person who predicts the presence of underground water with hand-held tools such as forked twigs (Divining Rod) or metal rods. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) and the National Water Well Association do not advise against using a water witch to search for ground water, but say that there is no scientific basis for the belief in water witchery. Also see Douse (also Dowse or Dowsing).

Locality?[edit]

The page says, "A locality in Highlands, New Jersey." That makes it sound like a named neighborhood, or something like that. I looked at the article on Highlands, New Jersey, and the name does not appear. Frankly, I think it's only a Bed and Breakfast there. 140.147.236.194 (talk) 19:52, 14 April 2011 (UTC)Stephen Kosciesza[reply]
