Who or What's in the House?

When I was a kid, my parents would have a small party/gathering in our house in some weekends, and my cousin and I loved to play all kinds of games whenever he came to these events. But tonight, the party was to give some good news and announce that we were going to be moving soon. There was barely even video games back then, so my cousin and I played a bunch of board games instead. We came across a board that looked so different from the others but still looked like a very innocent "fun" game. At that time, I did not know we had come across a ouija board. The game had the instructions pasted on the cover of the box and said to use candles for a better use, but still we couldn't find any so we kept reading (notice that using candles with a ouija board and making a quick prayer has a better chance of getting good spirits). After reading the rules we started playing, but nothing happened. We moved the planchette (triangle piece) in circles just like the instructions said, but it wasn't moving at all. I remember my cousin saying, "I think the board needs batteries." We were just kids... we did not know if something had to happen. We ended up putting the board game away in my closet and decided to do something else.
