Clearly, the power of the Ring is involved, possibly in varios levels (Sam's vision; the curse (if curse it be) and its fulfillment).

But if Frodo claimed the Ring at that point wouldn't Sauron have known? Perhaps more likely is that the Ring had overcome Frodo and his will was amplified by the Ring even if Frodo was not actively using it.
