Henry Gross and His Dowsing Rod
The true story of the amazing Henry Gross - the man with uncanny extrasensory power!
''Henry Gross and His Dowsing Rod'' (1951) by Kenneth Roberts documents the alleged water-dowsing abilities of Henry Gross, a Maine game warden. Roberts claims Gross used a Y-shaped stick to locate underground water.
Henry Gross (1895-1979) was a, Maine-based game warden known for his reputation for finding underground water streams, or "water veins," using a dowsing rod.
Kenneth Roberts, a successful historical novelist, was a firm believer in Gross and documented his experiences to promote the validity of dowsing.
While the book highlights successes, some sceptics and studies argue that dowsing is a form of ideomotor action-subconscious movements-rather than a scientific detection method.
The book remains a famous piece of literature in the field of paranormal or quasi-scientific literature.
It is recognized as a work detailing a "phenomenal" dowser's exploits.
"Kenneth Roberts is an accurate reporter. His veracity cannot be questioned!"
