Spooky Thursday with Haunted Britannia - How does the Ouija board work?

So as promised last week it's time to talk about theories on how the Ouija board works.  This one is going to be short and really is more of a 'what do you think?' kind of deal.  So the main options are:

It's a ghost moving the glass/planchette.

It's the spirit making the people move to their will.

It's the people moving it on purpose.

It's the people moving it without realising.

The first three don't really need any further explaining but that last one is talked about a lot as to where the information is coming from.  If you ask something and the board gives a right reply then is it just you moving it subconsciously to what you want it to say even though you don't think you are?  Sometimes the answer is correct and you think you don't know the answer so it could not have been you that moved it, but is that always true?  Is it that you do know this information or is it in your head somewhere at the back and it again comes forward subconsciously?  Or, links in with point two, did you genuinely not know and the spirit is putting the information in your mind so you will pass it on through the board?

These questions don't stop at just the board.  They also apply to dowsing, automatic writing and table tipping to name just a few.

I am very on the fence with all this.  I do see that some people force it and cheat results which is totally pointless and defeats the object of what you are doing.  But do I believe that it is just human subconsciousness or actual spirit?  I can't decide. 

So which theory do you go with or do you have one of your own?
