An ouija board serves as a flat surface adorned with letters, numbers, and assorted symbols, ideal for conducting seances. While these boards are readily available in Halloween and novelty stores, creating your own version at home can be a cost-effective alternative.

Method 1: Scripted Approach
Begin by acquiring a sizable sheet of paper. Cover it with the alphabet, numbers 0-9, and include the terms 'Yes', 'No', 'Hello', and 'Goodbye'.
Arrange the letters in a circular fashion. Position a sun beside the word 'Yes' at the top left corner, and a moon next to 'No' at the top right corner. Place the numbers outside the circle on a surface. Utilize an inverted tumbler as a pointer atop the paper.
Gather around the table with a few companions. Each person lightly rests one hand on the overturned glass. Determine who will pose the questions, while another individual may take notes.
