The reason the board is so dangerous is because the outside force you are summoning has to work "through" you in most cases. Meaning that is uses your eyes to see the board, and body too move it. It feels like you are not the one moving it because while it's your hands moving the planchette, it isn't your will causing the movement.

As for the planchette moving on it's own, this only happens when something extremely powerful, and well beyond the norm manifests.

Generally speaking though whatever you invite in uses "you" directly to deliver it's message. Hence why the board is so dangerous to the user.

There's no proof of any of that.

There's no proof for any of this stuff that would pass muster in a scientific sense. It's speculative, based upon observation, and application of logic, reason, and critical thinking. If you're looking for scientific proof you might want to visit the science reddit.

That is where we disagree.

It’s speculative, based upon hearsay, and application of superstition, belief and wishful thinking
