Ouija
A board and planchette used for spelling messages; movement is often explained by ideomotor action.
Participants may move the planchette without conscious intent (the ideomotor effect). That does not settle every claim, but it is the leading ordinary explanation.
If you discuss a session, note who touched the planchette and whether anyone was blind to the board’s letters.
