Demons
Okay, do you believe that the cause is only sleep paralysis?
All the tales of people waking to feel a weight on top of them,
holding them down, as if a demonic entity, succubus or incubus, was seated
on their laps or chests, and perhaps is trying to throttle them
- is this nothing but a physical paralysis, as a result of emerging out of sleep?
Or is it a demon attack?

| Fuseli's nightmare |
It occurs in a goodly number of tales of demonic possession,
in demonic raids on families, as witness stories from A Haunting,
Paranormal Witness, etc, that people already suffering
bizarre events in their houses, experience this, and it usually
convinces them that a demon is on the loose.
Sleep could be a portal for things to get across to this side....
It's easy to get from a weight pressing down on you
to believing that it forms some sort of subhuman
sexual assault?
I think the jury has to be out on this, as the important element
in this must be the context, and the psychological state
of those involved has already been enflamed by whatever
appears to be happening to them.
I'd call that a Twilight Zone situation,
where you wouldn't be sure if the imaginary and real worlds
had not folded into one another.
