possess
The reality of possession is that the human consciousness is seldom completely excluded. Usually the human consciousness goes into a kind of trance state in which it has no will. Such possessions happen to everyone, and usually are of short duration. We can recognize when a spirit has possessed us by our behavior. When we find ourselves doing things we would not normally do, things we would not like doing, especially things that seem bizarre or destructive or just plain disgusting, we are probably being possessed by some low spirit that is amusing itself at our expense.

We start to imagine something in order please ourselves, and very soon we begin to believe what we imagine. Or at least some of it.
