When a character's body is being controlled by other entity that took over their mind, either a [[ghost]], [[parasite]], etc..

This is different from [[mind control]] in that possession featuring another person or entity is inhabiting their body and using it as their own, while mind control there they are being forced to do something by an external force that has taken over their mind ([[hypnosis]] or similar). This is usually indicated by a [[different reflection]] in a mirror, their eye color changing, or some other part of their appearance.
