"One approach to this hallucination problem is to consider the possibility of a demonic world", writes an article in Springer-published Journal of Religion and Health.
M. Kemal Irmak's paper "Schizophrenia or Possession?" discusses the devastating symptoms of schizophrenia, current treatment approaches, and the nature of the delusions and hallucinations that schizophrenics experience before completely going off the rails and talking about a parallel world to ours, slightly out of phase, where demons get married, have children and die.
Even the craziest multiverse speculation doesn't come up with that. Bit it would explain schizophrena, it says.
Dr. Ross Pomeroy of Real Clear Science has the takedown. Naturally (or, supernaturally, maybe Pomeroy is the demon and has been sent by their overlords to squash Irmak's paper) the editor says the article was intended to "provoke discussion." That's always the fallback position for nonsense.
More hilarious was Irmak's comparison to an accepted field of science to rationalize this demon business, but you have to go over there to read it.
