Derren Brown debunked ouija boards years ago. They don't work.

Brown isn't a "fraud"... he's a gifted mentalist who actually uses aspects of the mind certain mystics have known and used for eons... and some use today under "psychology"and common sense... but one can't debunk the whole range of the paranormal off one experiment...
people are suggestible and most of the time the Ouija (thanks spellcheck) Board is just a game.. .but for some reasons nobody has pinned down (as far as I know) it might act as a conduit, or act on/with the mind itself and create some weird effects.
After my usually calm doggie freaked out at my board, and I'd heard some disturbing stories from folks I know and trust, I have to admit there might be something to be cautious about... as in some unknown aspect of a vast, usually invisible world most know nothing about.

Prove he's a fraud.
Actually, all you proved is that nobody can prove/disprove the spirit world. Brown proved Ouija boards move only under human control, and not some outside force. He said nothing about whether the humans are "Possessed" or otherwise being controlled by spirits. Only that the planchette does not move of it's own volition.

So because Brown proved that messages on Ouija boards are the result of human control, and not some outside force, he's a fraud?
I want to live in your world. It must be magical.
... is up to something fishy..
