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?
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
