I used to work with an older guy who seemed prone to delusions. He appeared perfectly ordinary, but someone tipped me off that he would say some odd stuff. Sure enough, I was talking to him one day and he told me he was tired because the people at Fort Meade had been keeping him up all night. Whatever was going on in his head, he thought people from the NSA were trying to control his thoughts. But, again, he usually came off as totally ordinary and just did his work and caused no problems. He just happened to believe he was fighting off government mind control experiments.
