Is Jack Possessed By Pah Wraiths?

POSSIBLE SPOILERS

I’ve seen some theories floating around here and there about Jack being possessed by a Pah Wraith. The more that I think about it, the more I think it could be true.

We saw Jack’s eyes turn red like Jake Sisko’s did in the DS9 Episode, “The Reckoning” And the patterns on Jake’s face when he was possessed looked similar to the vines (?) we see during Jack’s visions. Also, the red lightning that we see during the visions. Now, before episode 4, I would’ve gone along with the Changeling theory, but it seems more like Jack’s being possessed more than anything.

I’m stuck between the two theories as of right now. There is good evidence for both sides. I’m curious as to what y’all think.

This is a interesting theory you have because is linked to the Dominion war.

I would sooner believe the Pah-wraith theory than the changeling one, but it does then beg the question...what do the changelings hunting Jack have to do with Pah-wraiths? How do they even know anything about them enough to care?

Interesting theory

@Scyphi I’m not sure. My best guess would be that in one of Jack’s smuggling runs, he stole some sort of idol from the Changelings that harbored a Pah Wraith. Maybe he messed around with the wrong thing and released the Pah Wraith on accident.

Would explain those visions he's been seeing.

Unless they want to unleash the Pah-Wraiths on Earth and the Federation

What if it's his brother wesley. some rogue traveler, or even Q junior? The red door makes me think of what The Traveler said to Wesley about showing him a door but only he can open it. Hope Wesley pops up like he did last season. I just hope he says goodbye to Picard before the end.

What do you think?
