In PoA, Remus says:

{Dementors are among the foulest creatures that walk this earth. They infest 
the darkest, filthiest places, they glory in decay and despair, they drain 
peace, hope, and happiness out of the air around them. Even Muggles feel 
their presence, though they can't see them. Get too near a dementor and 
every good feeling, every happy memory will be sucked out of you. If it can, 
the dementor will feed on you long enough to reduce you to **something like 
itself... soul-less and evil.** You'll be left with nothing but the worst 
experiences of your life. }    Note: **emphasis mine

I'm betting on a Dementor Kissing a person making another Dementor.  
Misery does like company.
