Dowsing by proxy

Within the BSD Journal, there are a few reports of what has been referred to as proxy dowsing. Here another person (a non-dowser) walks over the site to be dowsed, while not performing any dowsing action, while the actual dowser, stationary and at some distance removed, watches their movement. In this manner, the dowser can still obtain a reaction on their dowsing device, as if they were walking the site in the manner of their proxy.

This curious phenomenon can surprise even seasoned dowsers. In this article, written by Evelyn Penrose, (probably the most accomplished female dowser of the last century) experiences proxy dowsing for the first time. She is introduced to it by one of the great 20th Century dowsing pioneers, the French priest, Abbe Bouly (there were several French priests who were expert dowsers at this time).

Proxy dowsing is reminiscent of the Stanford Research Institute experiments in remote viewing, in which a target person visits a remote site and the remote viewer attempts to describe what the target person is looking at. Therefore, one might conclude that the basic mechanism is the same in both these applications of psi.
