I've never experienced sleep paralysis but everyone claims, including my brother to have seen commonly some kind of dark entity, usually felt as some sort of evil presence. My question is what THE HECK? This is beyond creepy, especially when you read about the horrors people write about it, it makes my Se go nuts. Though usually, they just stand their watching you sleep, sometimes they are in the room but not even looking at you. So what is this?

My theory was it was some sort of physic projection of fear, you're scared and your mind creates something for you to fear to rationalize it. It also could literally be our evil nature manifested in fear to ourselves. I dunno, have any scientist studied this? All I get online is alot of Philosophy and astral projection crap. Sure it's fun to think that they watch us all the time, I would think it was some sort of angel or demon, but the thing is, the stories people tell are too weird for it to be anything but a product of the mind. Though what's strange to me is the fact that they appear regardless of being afraid, or not? Meaning, some people saw them and weren't even scared, just intrigued and it wasn't looking at them, it just flew through the wall.

Makes you wonder. I won't lie though, these things scare me to death. Though you just close your eyes as my brother says, their not that scary, just really weird.
