  Ooo.  Perhaps you were wrong to *assume* it, but I like it as a 
theory nonetheless.

  I can see that the soul of a great seer might find herself 
inclined to "posess" her great-great-granddaughter in order to pass 
along a prophecy of great import to a time that occurs significantly 
after her own.

  As for the voice being deep and raspy, I wouldn't think that was 
caused by anything other than the fact of one entity forcing 
vocalization through another entitiy's vocal chords.
