The Claire Witch project

Aug, 10 2016 ENGS Grave Witching

A technique for locating unmarked graves:

1) The wires start straight
and
2) cross as they pass over a
male then
3) straighten again at the end of
the grave

2) open as they pass over a
female then
The grave will be short for a
child or longer for an adult.

The process is commonly referred to as "divining" or "witching" graves.
