Sigmund Freud
"Spirits and demons, as I have shown in the last essay, are only projections
of man's own emotional impulses. He turns his emotional cathexes into
persons, he peoples the world with them and meets his internal mental
processes again outside himself - in just the same way as that intelligent
paranoic, Schreber, found a reflection of the attachments and detachments
of his libido in the vicissitudes of his confabulated 'rays of God'."
("Totem and Taboo", 1912-1913)
