It was like someone doing a spot on Jack Nicholson impression, but Jack Nicholson was an invisible man in my head. How can one explain that?
She didn't actually do it, or at least she didn't do it to the degree that you think she did. Instead, you had an intense enough experience that your memories of the tone, cadence, and choice of words of your voice, were altered after the fact.
(Human) memory is extremely unreliable.
Good way to disqualify the opinion or experience of anyone.
Can you elaborate? I tried to keep a neutral tone.
People can mix up exact details and whether two things feel the same in that amount of time, especially if they recently took drugs.

Look, you specifically asked for a skeptical explanation. You're right that it's not a disproof, but it does mean your experience isn't particularly convincing as an anecdote.
It is not remotely a stretch to attribute "I recognized this woman's voice as someone else's voice" as just a run-of-the-mill fault of perception and memory. Especially when the alternative at hand is apparently something supernatural (or, at least, new physics).
Just because our current understanding hasn’t got all the answers doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist, that’s the way I see it.
I think some things that we think of as supernatural now will have an “explanation” later. How much later I don’t know.
