[ELI5] How and why do people ‘see’ a malicious, demonic presence with their eyes when they get a sleep paralysis?

Question

I didn’t take this seriously until I had sleep paralysis myself… ad oh boi! There was a frikin dark pool of black standing near my door lol. I thought it was for real XD

So… yea, how does it happen?

Answer 1

Its also weird because sleep paralysis is almost exclusively a negative experience with these similar descriptions of “evil” entities in the majority of the cases
