i have a friend who used to believe that she really was a squirrel - not a squirrel 24/7, but at night. She was absolutely convinced about this, and used to say thayt if i looked at her cross-eyed, i would see a squirrel. She was so totally convinced about this that i, (aged seven) was unable to convince her that no, she didn't turn into a squirrel at night and go and play with other squirrels in her garden. she used to say, when she was tired, that it was because she had been out with the other squirrels all night long. The scariest thing is that i still don't know if she still believes that!!!!!
seriously weird.
