14 years ago my then 8 year old sister and I (12 years old)were given a ouigi board by my Dad. We thought it was so cool and we used it everyday for at least a couple of weeks. One night, after "summoning" a supposedly "good spirit" which we always insisted upon, I asked it who I would marry... and it spelled out Satan. I remember watching my sister realize what it had just spelled out and I remember seeing the total horror in her eyes as she looked up at me. One of us, I can't remember which, threw the little plastic pointer thing at the wall, we ripped the board in half and threw it away (outside of the house, ofcourse and our dad got mad. Now I'm 26 and really good friends with a very intelligent man whos an athiest. Obviously, he doesn't believe in spirits and when I told him my little story he said it was either done subconciously or purposly by one of us. (Neither one of us has touched a board since the experience, I aked my sister if she would and she said "no freakin way."

Played with one as a kid several times and nothing ever happened, I thought it was stupid superstitious crap
Google the ideomotor effect for an explanation of why the ouija board may seem to work. Partly it is also similar to the hypnosis experience, a voluntary subconcious agreement to roleplay or have a directed daydream.

Hi. Here you go. This will be of help to you:
Leviticus 19:26
-----------------------
YOU must eat nothing along with blood. “YOU must not look for omens, and YOU must not practice magic".
Deuteronomy 18: 10 - 12
-----------------------
There should not be found in you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, anyone who employs divination, a practicer of magic or anyone who looks for omens or a sorcerer, or one who binds others with a spell or anyone who consults a spirit medium or a professional foreteller of events or anyone who inquires of the dead. For everybody doing these things is something detestable to Jehovah, and on account of these detestable things Jehovah your God is driving them away from before you.
Hope this has helped.

Wouldn't surprise me if your sister was playing a joke on you, maybe without her even realising it.
