My only experience with a Ouiji board when like this:

"Are there any spirits present?"

"Hijdwnabc."

"Are there any literate spirits present?"

"Cbcdjre."

"Shit."

"Istv."

It was communicating in initialisms.

"Are there any spirits present?"

"Hi, I'm Jason Donovan. Which Neighbours actor’s best, chum?"

"Are there any literate spirits present?"

"Cruel bastard! Criticizing Donovan Jason’s righting ebilities?"

"Shit."

"I’m shit?" Thanks very…"

And with that he buggered off. You’re so rude.

I am convinced. It's all real.

Same.

The only time I ever used one was by myself... and only the 'yes' and 'no' ever worked as far as receiving anything comprehensible but 'whomever' I was talking to was reluctant to give at least correct answers. The ultimate message I received through the experiences whittled down to "stop wasting your time with this, there's nothing worthwhile to be gained."

Nonsense. Figuring out that it was a waste of time was well worth the experience. :)

The trick is to blindfold everyone and re-orientate the board. Then have the one sighted individual not touching the block record what is "said". No intelligible responses will be received.

The alternative trick is to take control of the block yourself. The only change this makes to standard procedure is that you know you are doing it.

I have only ever used a Ouija board by myself. The sensation of the 'block' moving was quite startling at first. It feels like there's some kind of 'charged' air around my fingertips as it moved. It's a feeling that's hard to describe.

I once tried automatic writing. The result was not writing so much as a few lines where my hand got tired and slipped on the page.
