What Are Ley Lines?

Describing ley lines is not easy. They’re invisible and highly suggestive. However, some researchers insist that they are real.

New Age thinkers believe they are “sacred” alignments of ancient sites and religious places on imaginary lines. Other paranormal investigators claim they hold significant psychic and magical powers within a geographical grid created within the boundaries of several manmade and natural landmarks.

However, to professional archeologists, researchers, and scientists, ley lines have been given the dubious title of “junk science” or “pseudoscience.” By all accounts, ley lines have not been professionally studied or examined and have been based on what several amateur archeologists and paranormal researchers have observed.
