faith or superstition

This has been a topic I had thought of writing since a long time...but somehow could not assimilate my thoughts into words ... until recently when i came across a eye witnessing happening.India we know is a land of different religions, beliefs, wonders and magics. This I happened to see in one of the remote places which still today i haven't been able to believe.
 There is a belief here that gods talk to our people through some people's body, and the person possessed at that particular time knows nothing of what happens to him/her. His/her voice becomes discreet and different ,talks in different languages ,becomes sadistic and moronic which otherwise the person is not and most mysteriously tell you things associated with your life which you haven't revealed to  anyone yet....
Now the point becomes after i myself witnessed a small gathering talking to this godly feminine ....do we call it "Faith", "Superstition" or more scientifically "personality disorder"?
