I think that most 'sightings' can be simply put down to Sleep Paralysis, which I think Tsuyoshi was getting at.
I mentioned that before in another thread. What I meant was a little different because when you're half asleep, you see your dream mixing with reality, but you don't really feel it with your body. Sleep paralysis is different because your mind is fully awake, unlike in the case I described, but the rest of your body is trying to catch up, so you feel as if gravity just got ten times stronger and you feel a sudden fear that you're being crushed. Some people, including the friend who told me about the case I described before, say this is when a demon is trying feed on your fear, but it's actually just sleep paralysis, as you said.
