(1) The planchette moved, spun on its little wheels, painted nonsense curlicues over the paper.

(2) The idea that the planchette won't move for some people alone because the u2018devil has their soulu2019 is pure playground nonsense.

(3) It explains why the planchette , in response to questions, glides so smoothly over the Ouija board to spell answers which seem to come from spirits.

(4) Mired in the humanistic belief that someone must be pushing the planchette , our unease grows as we cannot pin down the culprit.

(5) As they here suggest, unease over who moves the planchette is at the heart of the Ouija Board experience.
