there are no supernatural forces related to an ouija board, and there is no truth in the answers it gives. (with one exception that I will explain in a moment).
the force that moves the pointer on the ouija board is what is known as the ideomotor effect. the ideomotor effect is the influence of what you expect to occur on involuntary movements. This effect has been proven by scientists as influential and respected as Michael Faraday, and it is purely the actions of your mind.
If you ask a question to a Ouija board, and one of the people holding the pointer knows or thinks they know the answer, then they will unconsciously move very slightly towards the letters that will spell out the correct answer. This very slight push wouldn't have much effect, except the Ouija board asks you to facilitate the movement of the pointer, and to allow it to move in the direction it wants to move in. This means that a very slight push from one person causes everyone touching the board to move it in the direction the initial push moved it in.
Ouija boards can therefore give true answers to questions if someone at the table knows the answer already, especially if that person believes they work, because then (s)he will have a stronger expectation that the board will move in the direction of the correct answer.
be assured, however, that there is no danger from using an Ouija board, and there are no supernatural forces at work in them.

It would be best if you stayed away from those. Ouija boards are very dangerous and you could end up inviting an entity into your life that you may regret......contacting spirits is not something novices to the supernatural should dabble with.

No. U R PLAYING WITH FIRE! This will put U in touch with demons who are wicked beyond belief. They pose as dead loved ones or some great power and mislead people. Because they have been around "forever", they do know many things , intimately. This is how they can appear to be anyone they wish. You are inviting them to enter your home, your life where they will plague you physically and in your head.

No, I don't believe they actually work for contacting spirits. Every time my friends and I played with one, one of us was facetious and moving the planchette around to mess with the others. I know I've done it myself.

You need to ask the questions clearly and in complete sentences. Treat this as a game item. No need to get all spooky: have fun!

You can buy one. They don't do anything. They are neither satanic nor do they communicate with spirits. It is a waste of money and time.

It's NOT a game and you shouldn't mess with it. You're opening yourself up to things you can't understand and you don't want to.
