Try a blind test. Blindfold the operator of the ouija board and see what you get. It shouldn't hinder the "spirit".
I brought this up on a Wiccan board and was told that the 'spirits' possess the user and must use his or her eyes to see the board because they haven't fully crossed into our plane.
Well, ask it questions, with out touching it. I had a friend that did that, and it moved by itself! I also mentioned before, when I was a kid, the neighbors had one. When I was there, they asked it "who are you", it spelled satan. You never seen a kid run home so fast! They were not witnesses either. eeeekkk
I wouldn't want a ouija board. Just the name gives me the creeps.

LOL, CaptainS! Yes, that was very satisfying to hear.

The ideomotor effect explains how Ouija Boards "work" (as well as dowsing rods, etc).
James Randi has a million dollars in trust for anyone that can prove, in a controlled setting, that the paranormal exists. I think he has had the challenge going now for 20 - 30 years and to date no one has walked away with the money.

I was reading someones directions on how to use it.
The board should be used by at least two persons at a time and can be placed on the laps of the sitters, or on a small table within easy reach of everyone. The sitters place their fingers lightly on the edges of the planchette, being careful not to push down too hard. If you should ever take part in a talking board session (or witness one) where you can hear the sound of the planchette scraping on the board, or it seems to be unusually loud as it moves, there is probably something fishy afoot. What this means is that someone is accidentally (or purposely) guiding the pointer and the session should be stopped immediately. Any information received from the board is bound to be false.
Once the session begins, it is recommended that the sitters invite a spirit to come through and speak to them. The sitters are advised to add that they wish to communicate with a “willing” spirit. The reason for this is that it’s been suggested that negative spirits will try to come through and confuse the sitters. For this reason, it’s best to state up front what you are looking for from the session.
Then, the questions should be asked and repeated in a slow and deliberate manner. Only one question should be asked at a time, and by a single person, to avoid confusion. The answers to the questions will be theoretically spelled out using the planchette.
Frankly, I don’t believe that the Ouija is as harmful as some would have you believe. I don’t believe there is any inherent danger in its use, especially as it does seem to be a way to test and perhaps even generate PK. However, I don’t recommend that it be used by teenagers, overly emotional people or anyone not equipped to handle what may occur as a result of the board’s use. There are many accounts of people using the Ouija and then discovering that “things begin to happen”. Some of these experiences are alleged voices and the movement of objects in their home. Those who believe the Ouija achieves spirit contact will say that the person used the board unprotected and thus attracted “lower entities”. It’s possible though (as mentioned) that the Ouija induces PK effects and that the lingering activity has more to do with the generation of psychic activity that ghosts. For this reason though, people who are overly excited should avoid the use of the board.
I think I wont go get one now!
The ideomotor effect refers to the influence of suggestion on involuntary and unconscious motor behavior.
The idiomotor effect suggests that the user is unconsciously moving the planchette, but does this mean that some other force is not causing them to move it? Many talking board enthusiasts claim that spirits are invited into the body during a Ouija session and are controlling the planchette through the user.
I am so curious and would love to try it out but my husband doesn't want one. If I get one now it will upset him and cause an arguement..
