Greetings Gman
Many ancient cultures believed that people with schizophrenia were possessed by demons. The bible speaks of 'madness' as being a divine chastisement. They often spoke in tongues as you said your housemate often does.
There have been skeletons and mummys found where there were holes cut into the skulls. They believed that the demons would then be able to leave the mind of the afflicted.
There are even people today who think schizos are possessed by demons.
Could be...
Peace
