There are literally thousands of examples. To say that they are all frauds and the Book of Mormon is the exception requires industrial-strength special pleading. There are also those who will say that these texts really were channeled but from demonic spirits. That's where I expect TBMs to go with it, right into the arms of the occult and the pseudosciences.
Could Pearl Curran have authored The Sorry Tale?
She was an average but uninterested student, eventually dropping out in her first high school year, later stating she had a nervous breakdown due to the strenuous academics. She later returned to classes at St. Ignatius Catholic school.

[T]he literature produced [when Pearl Curran "channeled" Patience Worth] was considered to be of a high quality by some; the literary critic William Marion Reedy considered The Sorry Tale to be a new classic of world literature. Patience Worth was also listed as one of the outstanding authors of 1918 by The Joint Committee of Literary Arts of New York.
