About 5 or 6 years ago, me and three of my friends were at my house and had nothing to do. We were really bored, so one of my friends was looking for a game or something to play. She pulled out an old ouiji board that we have had for a long time. Everyone wanted to use it so we all sat in a circle in my basement. We put four candles around us about 3 1/2 to 4 feet away from each other. We were trying to contact spirits and asking questions. I remember the last question my friend asked was "what is your name." The pointer started moving, but i didn't believe that it was moving my itself. So we all took our fingers off the pointer and just held them over it and it was still moving. I mean NO ONE was touching it. After my friend asked the "what is your name" question, all of a sudden her shirt stared on fire. I swear on my life I am telling the honest to god truth!!!!!!!!! Luckily she didn't get hurt, but we still don't understand how her shirt caught on fire when the candles weren't even near us. There's no way that the candle could have done this. I told myself that I would never use another ouiji board ever again. I threw that board in the trash when we moved.
