Nothing will happen unless you go into it believing that something will happen.
Games like this and the stigma surrounding the supernatural have a strong psychological effect on us.
Your senses become heightened because your brain is expecting something dangerous to happen. It would be the same as putting you in an empty lion enclosure at a zoo and telling you that there is a lion in it with you. Your hearing would become sharper, your nerve endings would be on edge and any small breeze would feel more intense.
It's why horror movies have to build up the suspense before a jump scare is deployed. If it just happened then we wouldn't be scared, but a camera panning around what we think is an empty room for 20 seconds before it happens puts us on edge.
The culture surrounding the supernatural acts as that same suspense builder.
People moving their hands over Ouija boards isn't supernatural, it's impressionable people believing so fervently their hands will be pushed that they move their own hands subconsciously.
This stigma is so strong that even me, a person who will gladly walk under ladders, cross the path of a black cat and say "Hail Satan" in a Church would still be scared if someone put me in a "haunted building" with all the lights off.
I hope one day to get to the point where I could walk around an abandoned mental hospital and be completely anxiety-free but it will probably never happen because of this stupid culture that is brainwashing children and encouraging them to be afraid of things that aren't even real.
It's the exploitation of an evolutionary advantage that we had over other predators. Fear is what has kept us alive for the past 125,000 generations of humanoids.
Superstition has only done damage where fear has been used to control people.
The people who engage in the propagation of this superstitious nonsense in order to profit off people's gullibility, and - even worse - their need to connect with dead relatives, are among the most ethically bankrupt tricksters on this planet and they should all be called out on it.

lol, I used it before with some friends in a dark room with candle light. Nothing happened. I don't believe in any of the paranormal stuff though so I guess that helped me out.

No and I never would. I heavily believe in the paranormal and have experienced a fair amount of seeings and weird happenings especially when my nan passed away.
My dad doesn't believe at all in the paranormal and he did a ouija board in the Army and felt he was getting strangled and he hates talking about it.

Can you explain my mobile phone moving into another room of my house whilst I'm asleep when I'm home alone?
Can you explain why my bed vigorously rattled and shook for 15 minutes whilst I was home alone and my mum was at a spiritual church to try and get in contact with my nan who passed away in 2012? No I didn't think so.
So as smart as your comment may sound, you should maybe at least stay open to it until assuming that it's all fake just because you believe so.

I'll believe that it's all fake until proven otherwise. You want to prove that supernatural things have happened to you or that people in this world have supernatural abilities? Point them in the direction of the James Randi foundation. He has had an open invitation to any psychic, medium, spiritualist, mentalist, ghost hunter, faith healer, clairvoyant, etc. who can prove that they have an ability and there is a 1 million dollar reward for any who do. That offer has been open for two decades and not a single person has claimed the money. Some have even said that they could and turned it down at the last minute because they "find the incentive of money insulting" which isn't a very good excuse given that charities exist in this world.
I'm sorry that your brain works in the same way as every single other human being's and that you are open to fear and external stimuli making your brain see, hear, and feel things which aren't there.
And yes, it is a culture. 'The Psychic Community' 'The Ghost Hunter Community.' Con artists working in tandem to extort money out of gullible people.
I don't have to explain your mobile phone moving or your bed shaking and I certainly don't have to believe that you aren't lying.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, provide some and then we can have a discussion about it.
