As a side note. Be very very careful of the methods you use to contact the entity. You could unwittingly open the portal and let things into your life you will deeply retret later. NEVER use a ouigii board without someone there who knows the proper way to open & close the portal. Playing with spirits, ghosts, demons, ect. is NO JOKE. Unfortunately most people don't realize that until S*** gets real.
I just wanted to point out that you're just as likely to open something by doing EVP's - just like the recorder is just pieces of electronics, the ouija board is nothing but a piece of wood with letters on it. It's the spoken word or thoughts that's the real "magic", when you invite spirits in and ask them to communicate the medium (board, recorder etc.) doesn't matter.
It was originally developed as a toy used to communicate with your sub-consciousness and no one ran in to malevolent spirits back then. At some point people (spiritualists) started using it as a
tool for communicating with spirits along with cards, pendulums, automatic writing etc. today people mainly use recorders but it's exactly the same thing - it's just a tool, it's not a magic board or something.
Another example could be a hunter: ex. he has a pistol, a riffle and a bow. These are all tools that allows him to hunt, none of them er dangerous if they are on their own (laying on the ground untouched), used wrongly they
could be dangerous, but used correctly they are all good tools for the task.
It's the act of inviting spirits in that could (in a tiny amount of cases) bring something bad with it - and OP hasn't talked about using a board, neither is she inviting anything in. She's merely asking how to do EVP's to communicate with the spirit that's already there.
