Possession: We have all heard of "demonic possession", as in The Exorcist or in voodoo, or even in Hinduism and other religions, where one can be "taken over" by a god or goddess.

 SPLICEDwire | "Possession" review (2002) Neil LaBute, Gwyneth Paltrow, Aaron Eckhart
"Possession," which is lovingly but sometimes loosely adapted from A.S. Byatt's novel of the same name, follows the germinating romance between two relationship-reluctant academics as they in turn follow a trail of evidence revealing a passionate secret affair between two Victorian poets.
The relationship between Ash and LaMotte is more stirring, but not as well defined -- although this may be deliberate since our entry into their lives is understood largely through the eyes of our modern heroes, who can only draw conclusions from what they read in the letters between their 19th Century counterparts.
A few scenes in "Possession" ring false, especially when it comes to a subplot about glory-seeking rival scholars who are willing to become literal grave robbers to profit from Roland and Maud's findings.

 Possession
In Judaism the most feared evil possession is by the Dybbuk, a doomed soul that wreaks mental and spiritual havoc on the hapless victim.
Similarly in Christianity, voluntary possession by the Holy Spirit is encouraged, especially in the Pentacostal movement, whose adherents may speak in tongues, perform faith healing, and writhe uncontrollably in a form of ecstatic communion with God.
Evidence for genuine possession by an evil supernatural force is unavailable, mostly because those who have supposedly been possessed insist on anonymity, and those who have participated at exorcisms refuse to reveal any details which might breach that anonymity and permit verification of some of the reported phenomena.
