It's the Jinn.
Not "ancestor spirits" or the like.
The Jinn, according to Islam, are inter-dimensional beings, i.e. they live just like humans, with similar customs and beliefs, but in another dimension.
While we are not able to cross to their dimension, they, being made of some kind of energy, are in fact able to cross to our dimension.
Prophet Solomon (pbuh) used Jinns for work. They would obey him.
The problem with Ouija boards and other contraptions is that when you use them you are basically inviting the Jinn to our dimension.
The believing Jinn (i.e. that believe in One God), will not contact you unless you are a Prophet or something, but since you are not, then the "evil" Jinn (those that reject God) will indeed contact you.
Their one and main purpose is to make you do all the things that are against God.
They will make you curse, use profane language, do evil things, so as to displease God.
How do they do this?
As shown in the last sura of the Qur'an where we are instructed to seek refuge in God form the evil of the Jinn (and men) - the chapter describes them as "whisperers" who whisper into ones "hearts" (quranic symbolism equates "heart" with "mind").
So, the jinn "whisper" into the mind of the person, making that person think he himself is thinking a thing, while he is not.
They also influence in this way various parts of the brain to make the person behave differently or even do things which they would not do.
The Jinn can influence the mind of the person so much that they can make him speak in a language he never in his life spoke before.
I have witnessed this myself.
OH, and when I was 10 years old or something, I also tried the Ouija board. The cup I was using started moving (and yes, I know about the unconscious thing) but it was moving AWAY from me SO MUCH that it actually SLIPPED away from under my finger and continued moving for several inches!
I was SO AFRAID, my heart started PUMPING, that I ran to my mother shivering and told her to cover me with blankets.

you can start here and also take note of the following
Violent crime has shown a surprise increase, official figures have revealed.
Data showed that violence against the person offences reported to the police in 2013 showed a 1 per cent rise to 614,400, or nearly 7,000 extra victims in the year.
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said the increase was down to "improvements in recording" – amid widespread concern that crime figures have been "fiddled" by forces.
On Wednesday a survey by academic suggested violent crime fell by 12 per cent last year, based on records from 117 casualty departments and walk-in centres across England and Wales.
An inquiry by MPs, which began last year, exposed a number of serious failings to record crime accurately.
In their final report, published earlier this month, the Commons committee said senior police officers have allowed misrecording of crime figures to become "ingrained".
It concluded there was strong evidence the fall in crime had been "exaggerated", and that police chiefs, ministers and official bodies were guilty of “long-standing failures”.
But you being from there are certainly aware of the scandal that police were under reporting and manipulating statistics due to political pressure. No doubt in an attempt to justify the continued banning of handguns.
Only one percent? ha yea right. Sounds like they are easing you in to hear the truth before they realize what a failure certain policies were.
But my point was this increase in violent crime can very well be from the insanity caused by making contact with entities using this medium.

Negative.... you have not read the thread..... this tells me you are trolling.
But opening the gates of hell wasn’t on anyone’s mind when they started the Kennard Novelty Company, the first producers of the Ouija board; in fact, they were mostly looking to open Americans’ wallets.

Ouija boards are not, scientists say, powered by spirits or even demons. Disappointing but also potentially useful—because they’re powered by us, even when we protest that we’re not doing it, we swear. Ouija boards work on a principle known to those studying the mind for more than 160 years: the ideometer effect. In 1852, physician and physiologist William Benjamin Carpenter published a report for the Royal Institution of Great Britain, examining these automatic muscular movements that take place without the conscious will or volition of the individual (think crying in reaction to a sad film, for example). Almost immediately, other researchers saw applications of the ideometer effect in the popular spiritualist pastimes. In 1853, chemist and physicist Michael Faraday, intrigued by table-turning, conducted a series of experiments that proved to him (though not to most spiritualists) that the table’s motion was due to the ideomotor actions of the participants.

Most Satanists are atheists, and most "witches" are Wiccan and don't believe in Da Devil.
How many Satanists/witches are you basing your sample on?

I'm keeping my opinion on this to myself because its futile to think my opinion would sway anyone either way, but I am curious, would a ouija board be able to cause demonic possession to a strong believer who is Jewish, or Muslim?
Would a Scientologist be susceptible? Or a Buddhist?

Reading this thread is unnecessary. Ouija boards are proven hoaxes. Besides, all the evidence you present are just anecdotes and that is a logical fallacy. Here, some real evidence.

I know the Jinn, ancient spirits of the desert, a very powerful one is called, the prince of Persia and he is not to be messed with. It took the archangel, Prince Michael to make him back off so a messenger of God (angel) could talk with Daniel. They are blood thirsty and often demand blood sacrifices.

a sin? please, with that logic, if I watch porn on my smartphone on the youporn application a demon will start possessing/attacking me.
so why doesn't ZOZO (lol) drag your butt out of the chair down the stairs now? if you can't play with his name in your physical/smartphone Ouija board, then why can you do it with your computer?.
it is indeed impossible, just more and more religious propaganda, "be afraid boo" "do no sin or the devil will get you boo", I thought we were past the 16th century.
I'm gonna develop the "Noodle Board" application, it will allow us to summon and communicate with the Flying Spaghetti Monster's holy appendages.
That particular Jinn called the Prince of Persia was identified as such during the times of the prophet Daniel. Whether this particular Jinn is known by a another name dating back further is not known just like humans who change our names to hide our past.

So was this Djin only recognised in 550 BC? Or was it renamed? Or was it only discovered or named a thousand years later when the Persian dynasties fell to Islamic conquest?
Persia was Zoroastrian for the preceding thousand years, and while they have a similar entity to djin that could be called a demon or djin (daeva), this is not of the judeo-christian persuasion.
So why is there a djin called the prince of Persia?
