One can also observe and analyze the answers to find out if the spirit coming forward is indeed who he claims to be. It is quite common for people who are playing with the Ouija board to be swindled by spirits in the lower realms. It would be terrible if these people believed the answers given them to be true. When I seek guidance through the Ouija board, I always do so in front of my Buddhist shrine, and I pray reverently and sincerely. When the deity descends, he first announces his identity, and I pay respects to him properly.
Every question is met with an answer.
If the higher entity does not know the answer, he will say so. The results are very accurate. I remember there was one time when we used the Ouija board in a friend's house. When the plate started moving, we asked for the spirit's identity. Everyone was taken aback by the answer, especially the two girls present who then started to make a fuss and scream.
