I would disagree with this, since Leland stated that BOB was
trying to take over Laura and that Laura died to prevent this from
happening.  Therefore, BOB can enter another person.  The question
would be how does he get into the other person.  From what Leland said
(correct me if I am wrong), BOB approaches the person and then opens
them up (somehow).  From what he said about Laura's resistence this
process takes time and the person has to be reasonably willing.

Can anyone print a copy of the Leland's speech when he was explaining
to Cooper how BOB came to possess him?  It was hard to understand him,
what with him dying and the sprinklers going off.
