Ouija Board
In my teens my friends and I dabbled a bit with homemade Ouija Boards: individual letters, numbers and "Yes" & "No" written around a piece of paper, with a large coin where our fingers would meet.

Having a belief in the supernatural, some of the things we were being told and experiencing freaked me out a fair bit to be honest. All the while this was going on, I managed to just about convince myself that someone amongst us was taking the piss - that is until the very last time I ever used a board!

A group of us were in a park by a graveyard one summer, and decided this was the perfect place for an OB session (I know). We communicated with a few 'spirits' that afternoon, everything was friendly and dandy. Until the last one. The last spirit spelt out for the most part, gibberish. But of the coherent messages, it was clear it hated each one of us passionately. Asking to end the link, we were presented with a 'No' and then the coin dragging our fingers around the board at varying speeds, but always with strong force. This circling motion went on for about 20 seconds, before the coin became extremely hot - which all of us felt - forcing us to all withdraw our fingers and break the link! One of us threw the two-pence piece into a nearby hedge, never to be seen again.

People can think what they like, but after having my finger burnt like that, i'll never be able to dismiss Ouija very easily.

If I rub my finger on my hand a lot it gets burned...
Metal conducts heat and rubbing a coin fast in a circle so many times is going to cause friction and heat it up. Could have been a plausible explanation, but then again maybe not.

@vix0r
the coin heating up theory you said is understandable
in an RS lesson ages ago (i wasn't in it) 2 of my friends decided to make a makeshift ouija board and it allegedly kept going to 6 promptly scaring the shit out of the girl sitting next to them

That is definitely in the realms of possibility.. What was shocking about it was just how hot the coin became, and how it suddenly happened - rather than built up heat
