Oreb possessed?

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I have been rereading Book of the Long Sun, and was struck with the notion
that maybe Oreb was possessed from the moment of his apparent death during
the failed sacrifice (the sacrificial altar was in front of the Sacred
Window). The bird seen by Silk fluttering out the second story window prior
to the appearance of Pike was Oreb, able to do so despite his injured wing
because of the possession. this would also explain Orebs denial- he don't
remember because he wasn't in control at the time. I don't know if this has
ever been brought up before. Any thoughts?
