I finished reading a short paper by David Instone Brewer on his experience with psychiatric patients in which he came to believe were possessed by demons and/or unclean spirits.
I am interested in a skeptical perspective as to the contents of this paper specifically in relation to the voices which seemingly answered specific silent questions. This experience gradually convinced Dr. Brewer that he was not dealing with a purely psychiatric disorder.
How would you explain these cases?
