[Note: We didn’t make these up. We found them on the Internet. They may or may not work. You’ll have to find out at your own risk. If you want to. Or you can just watch a horror movie .]

If you like to dabble in the supernatural, chances are you’ve tried calling a spirit using a Planchette, at least once in your life. Even if you don’t like to bother the spirits however, curiosity is bound to set in after you read this list. We might scoff at the claims of mystics and shamans, but I think all of us want to believe that there’s some magic in the world.

Here’s a couple of ways on how to summon a ghost on your own. No guarantees though!

P.S.: Beware of the ones that refuse to leave.

1. Using an Ouija Board to converse with a spirit

The modern version of the Ouija consists of a board with all 26 letters of the alphabet and numbers from 0-9 imprinted on it. The words “Yes”, “No,” and “Goodbye” also appear on the board. A plastic heart is also included. This is the item that the participants lightly put their fingers on as a supposed spirit guides it over the board to create answers to seekers’ questions.

2. Using a Planchette to communicate with spirits

The use of planchettes to produce mysterious written messages gave rise to the belief that the devices facilitate communication with spirits. Originally used as a simple wooden board for automatic writing, people who dabble in mysticism now believe the planchette is moved by the presence of spirits.

3. Using a Pentagram to conjure demons

There are rituals in which people, using the pentagram to symbolise the elements, form a circle nine feet across. One is made for the summoner, and another to summon and bind the spirit. Making the star and circle is usually part of a larger ceremony and this whole process is usually said to summon unpredictable demons, so try it at your own risk.

4. See spirits through a Crystal Ball

Using a crystal ball, a human medium is expected to be able to see the spirit and hear its voice, passing the words on to the evoker. Usually the medium speaks for the spirit. In other cases the spirit might be ‘housed’ in a symbolic image, or conjuring into a diagram from which it cannot escape without the magician’s permission.

5. Using a mirror to summon a witch

Start off in a well-lighted room. Light a few candles and turn off the lights. Once there is enough wax, splash the mirror with wax. Sprinkle salt around the mirror and yourself. Set up the candles around you, and be very quiet. Once the wall is dry, take a knife and carve in the wax the type of spirit you wish to summon. Finally, take a knife and put some of your blood on the mirror. Now chant: “Witches corse through time, we are in need of assistance, Oh spirit come, we beckon you. Share your stories, come until the morning light”

I would suggest leaving out the blood part.

6. Speak to the dead through candlelight

Light a white candle and focus on the person you wish to speak to. Grab two small papers and write ‘YES’ on one and ‘NO’ on the other. Underneath the words sketch a pentagram. Place the papers literally as close as you can fit next to the candle. Add salt to the melted candle wax to bind the spirit to the candle. Then, ask if a spirit is with us right now. Follow the flame and if it leans to the yes, you know something’s around. Continue asking questions and follow the signs to know you are speaking with a spirit such as odd candle position, rippling, and a downward thrust. Snuff out the candle afterward.
