There are a number of thing's that have to be taken into consideration, and I hope you realize what you are delving into Doctor?
Understanding how, possibly possession can have a cause to take place:
Abstract
Field observations and interviews with possessed individuals in contemporary Trinidadian society indicate that the incorporation of the local folklore
and superstition is the prime prerequisite for the possession complex, but that the reaction per se is triggered by situations of unusual stress or
emotional conflict. Although a consistent clinical picture of psychopathology is not apparent, the four reported case histories consistently reflect a
tendency toward hysterical features, sometimes in conjunction with neurotic depression. In all cases, however, possession affords two positive
advantages to the individual--direct escape from a conflict situation and diminution of guilt by projecting blame on to the intruding spirit

I think that is enough reading for you for now Doc.
"You really should rethink your venture you are trying to persue? I don't want you to get into something that will get the better of you? Even
though it is interesting and perplexing in our reality, just read the little I have given you and see if it is what you hoped it would be?"
Hope the information give's you a "Proper" insight to the thing' sof such nature's?
