Totally bogus and most likely faked. A lot of research has shown that speaking in tongues has nothing to do with religion. http://www.whyilefttherevivalfellowship.com/downloads/Glossolalia-as-Learned-Behavior-An-Experimental-Demonstration.pdf
Glossolalia as learned behavior: An experimental demonstration. Spanos, Nicholas P.; Cross, Wendy P.; Lepage, Mark; Coristine, Marjorie Journal of Abnormal Psychology, Vol 95(1), Feb 1986, 21-23. doi:10.1037/0021-843X.95.1.21 Abstract 60 1844 yr old undergraduates listened to a 60-sec sample of glossolalia (defined to them as pseudolanguage) and then attempted to produce glossolalia on a 30-sec baseline trial. Afterward, half of the Ss received 2 training sessions that included audio- and videotaped samples of glossolalia interspersed with opportunities to practice glossolalia. Also, live modeling of glossolalia, direct instruction, and encouragement were provided by an experimenter. Both the trained Ss and untreated controls attempted to produce glossolalia on a 30-sec posttest trial. About 20% of Ss exhibited fluent glossolalia on the baseline trial, and training significantly enhanced fluency. 70% of trained Ss spoke fluent glossolalia on the posttest. Findings are more consistent with social learning than with altered state conceptions of glossolalia.

Spanos, Nicholas P.; Hewitt, Erin C. Journal of Abnormal Psychology, Vol 88(4), Aug 1979, 427-434. doi:10.1037/0021-843X.88.4.427 Abstract Tested 3 hypotheses concerning glossolalia: that glossolalia (a) results from a "hyperaroused trance," (b) is associated with high levels of hypnotic susceptibility, and (c) is symptomatic of psychopathology. Contrary to the "trance" hypothesis, 12 experienced glossolalics (aged 1823 yrs) performed glossolalia with eyes open and without accompanying kinetic activity (e.g., trembling, shaking) or residual disorientation. Moreover, memory deficits following glossolalic speech occurred to the same degree following nontrance control activity. Glossolalics and 36 nonglossolalic control Ss matched for age, sex, and level of education did not differ from one another on hypnotic susceptibility, absorption, or measures of psychopathology (e.g., Rokeach Dogmatism Scale, Eysenck Personality Inventory). Findings are consistent with nontrance formulations that conceptualize the acquisition and maintenance of glossolalia in terms of social-learning variables.
