After watching the video, I was somewhat appalled in how they described the phenomena of what happened to the people. To simply call it sleep paralysis and that you're dreaming seems to be a dismissal of what they experience.

I do think there's a difference between sleep paralysis and being attacked by an outside force. I scrolled down to read the comments and there is one I agree with. The comment was to the effect as to why so many people who experienced it claim to see and feel the entity. If it was a dream, scientists aren't taking into consideration that everybody has different dreams. Another thing that was overlooked is that the phenomena spans time, culture and distances.

An outside force like a demon, or call it what you will, does use sleep paralysis to prevent one from fighting or running away. I've experienced a type of sleep paralysis many times before though the details are different.

After all is said, I truly think there's a difference between sleep paralysis and the shadow man/old hag phenomena.
