There is no provision of the free souls roaming around here & there in jain phylosophy (bhatakti aatma).
There is no aatma(preyt) which can enter into some other person's body as believed in the other religions.
When a person dies his soul travels very very fastly to right up & from there it takes another birth - all this happens in some micr or milli fractions of a second.
There is discription about the Vyantar devs who can be regarded as "bhoot-prets" in general language, but this vyantar dev has thier own bodies & can't get into somebody else's body.
so I tell you that whenever you find any psychiatric case in which the person seems as if some aatma has entered in his body-then it is falso according to science as well as jain phylosophy.
But, again the person may not be malingering rather he may be having a psychiatric problem & should be treated properly.

A general question sir,I myself am a Jain and so that I heard that these vyantar and bhovanpati devs can enter or control other persons body and are provided with powers of mind reading and all. So my point is do these devs control the human body when the so called person who says they have their ancestors visiting their body? and in one case that dev(in human body) said something earlier that actually happened! and in our holy books the procedure to remove such dev from that body was performed by a pandit but he actually died after a while!
p.s: I'M NOT BLUFFING I AM SAYING WHAT HAPPENED WITH MY GRANDMOTHER WHO IS STILL ALIVE AND SAID ME THESE THINGS ALONG WITH A PANEL OF FAMILY MEMBERS WHO WERE RELIVING ALL THE OLD MEMORIES.
