A Spirit Possession occurs when a human is inhabited or taken over by some type of spiritual entity. The duration of the possession may be long or short, and the entity may be benign or malevolent. This could be related to several other elements.
Element
Pl: Past Life Phenomenon
Memories of a past life either through dreams, visions, a sense of knowing, or through past life regression hypnotherapy. Can involve scars or birthmarks on the body where fatal wounds were received during the past life. Possibly related to reincarnation beliefs that souls can return thousands of times as other humans, animals or possibly aliens. Evidence is most compelling when very young children talk about wars or deaths for which they should have no knowledge. Some reincarnated children have led their parents to their former body’s grave or murderer.
Ph: Physical Encounter
The sensation of being touched, poked, having one’s hair pulled, or clothing/jewelry moved.
Pd: Prescient Dream
A dream containing events, which later come to pass, or specific details which impart secret knowledge the dreamer. In both cases the dreamer has no way of knowing this secret knowledge beforehand.
Pc: Precognition
Special knowledge of a fact or event without any prior knowledge and before the event actually occurs. This knowledge is usually transmitted in the form of thoughts or feelings about the future event. If the knowledge is transmitted in a dream, this falls under the Prescient Dream element.
