Possession horror games on PlayStation

In these games something takes over a person. A demon settles into a body on the mortuary table, a spirit leads a sister away through a village, friends start talking in voices that are not theirs. The fear is in watching someone you know stop being themselves, and in the worry that whatever took them is now working its way toward you.
