If you read the "Secret Diary" it will be clear that BOB is not Bobby Briggs.
He's either:

a) Satan (i.e., a supernaturtal evil force);
b) A personality of Laura's that manifests her masochism stemming from abuse
   as a litlle girl;
c) someone who has used psychic powers on her since she was a little girl.

Let's put it this way: BOB and Laura have "conversations" *in her
diary*.  She's not recording a conversation; rather, she writes a
line or two, then BOB writes a line or two...

Anyway, the book is very disturbing; I do not recommend it unless you
really have to know every clue possible.

One important charcater in the diary not mentioned in the show so far is
a shut-in Botanist (whom Laura rapes) to whom Laura gives the diary before
her death.  Remeber, this is the "secret" diary of LP, not the one Cooper
found...
