membuka saluran komunikasi [dengan roh]
Explanation:

Papan ouija adalah medium pemanggil roh bagi yang percaya, sama dengan jailangkung di Indonesia.

line di sini kirannya adalah kanal atau saluran komunikasi dengan roh. Makna yang diambil adalah (dari Oxford): a length of cord, rope, wire, or other material serving a particular purpose dan submakna: a telephone connection. Itulah mungkin alasan terdengarnya dering telepon.

Ref: http://www.ghostresearch.org/articles/ouija.html
The Ouija board has been used by thousands of people for spirit communication and is very similar to automatic writing, the only difference between the two being the absence of the board itself in automatic writing. Both forms of communication are very dangerous; as are séances, because they are usually uncontrolled forms of communications.
