The dark figure in sleep poralysis

My dad's told me he was attacked a few times in the night by some dark entity during his sleep. This thing was on top of him, choking him, but thankfully, my dad fought that thing off and resumed sleep soon after. The thing is, my dad is a really stoic and rational guy who doesn't get scared of stuff pertaining to paranormal phenomena and the like. He nonchalantly retells that story and thinks nothing of it. So in other words, he doesn't deny the existence of dark entities or ghosts, but he also doesn't harbor the weird fascination others seem to invest in such things. He'd much rather talk history or baseball to be honest. Guess it doesn't hurt he's a true Te-dom and doesn't give a fuck about this stuff.

Chances are, some people are just imagining this because they're in between dream-and-wake states, plus it's dark or not bright enough to get a really clear look at what is, or isn't, present. Our fears can lead us to imagine the worst. I also think some reports of people seeing an actual entity are true because I for one do believe ghosts and demons or some malevolent spirits exist in this world. What if some people are being attacked by an incubus or a succubus? Ugh, that would be horrible.
