r/Ouija

Hello! Not sure if I’m the the right forum here. I believe in all things spiritual. I made a homemade ouija board tonight in an attempt to contact someone who was once close to me. I was burning multiple candles and set out with only good intentions and burned sandalwood incense for good intentions. I had an item of the person with me. I asked if the person was with me and as soon as I started the planchette started to move. I’m very aware that your own small movement can cause this but I am a believer. I made sure to ask questions to ensure the identity of the spirit I intended on making contacted with. I mainly kept it to yes/no questions with the odd question for the spirit to identify an initial and/or a number. The answers were what I would have expected with the odd surprise. Every time I said the name of the person I was attempting to make contact with I experienced full body shivers and a tingling sensation particularly when asking him specific questions and using his name. I made sure to say goodbye at the end. Please can I have thoughts on this experience?

So I have a Ouija board. It's a cheap one from Amazon that's not an original brand. I had to hung on my wall for about a year now with the planchette in a different spot.

At 12:55 am one of the hooks holding it gave way and it fell of my wall waking me up. Ive experienced weird occurrences before, though none of them had to do with the board. I have also played it before a couple years ago. I did it by myself but I made sure to say goodbye and end it properly. Is there any chance there could be something attached to me?

Planning on using a homemade ouija board tonight alone, any tips for better results? I’ve always thought they were fake and don’t actually work so I’m curious to see what’ll happen
