THIS HURTS YOU.

Mirajane, Elfman, and Lisanna Strauss (Fairy Tail) specialize in the use of Take Over magic, which works similar to this but with monster and demon souls...

...Mirajane using Satan Soul...

...Elfman using Beast Soul...

...and Lisanna using Animal Soul.

Abigail Williams (Murdered: Soul Suspect) bestows all those she possesses to act as the Bell Killer with superhuman strength.

Shrine Maidens like Reimu (Touhou) are said to be able to do this, though it's only been seen in Silent Sinner in Blue, and with gods rather than spirits.

While in his parasitic demon form, Jason Voorhees (Friday the 13th) bestows his current host with his trademark superhuman strength, stamina, and durability.
