My experience from another thread:

> Good lord you have my sympathy. I only had it happen once when I was a child and it was one of the scariest moments of my life. I was taught to believe that there was a constant spiritual war on earth between angels and demons so when a demon showed up in my room one night, I had no reason to believe that it was anything other than a demon in my room, pinning me to the bed. I believed this well into adulthood until I’d rejected my religious beliefs and heard about sleep paralysis. That you still have to deal with these must seriously suck!
