Are you saying you never saw a doctor about your sleep paralysis? Because the newer studies say the condition points to social anxiety, panic disorder and disrupted sleep patterns and other disorders. Anyway, this would have been the first thing I would eliminate from these paranormal investigations.
Specifically, the reported anomalies both correlated with the family’s scores on transliminality and paranormal belief, as well as elicited attributions and reaction patterns aligned with threat (agency) detection. There was also some evidence of perceptual congruency among the family members’ anomalous experiences. Putative psi cannot be ruled out, but we conclude that the family’s ordeal fundamentally involved the symptoms and manifestations of thin (or “permeable”) mental boundary functioning in the face of unfavorable circumstances or overstimulating environments and subsequently acerbated by poor emotion regulation, histrionic and catastrophizing reactions, and active confirmation biases.

Correct I never saw a doctor on same. I also didn't have SP my entire life nor in every home I ever lived. Evil neighbors or loved ones can channel the demons in SP.
I currently live in a neighborhood of $1 million dollar homes. Most are one percenters whom believe they are of privilege's. Both adjacent neighbors are pure evil. My contractors said so as they see what I see. Father Morey blurted out child trafficking when I told him the story back in 2021. I finally made my referral to the FBI and DEA in October 2021. Since June 16, 2023 the same neighbor is now becoming aggressive again. I have an open Police Case. It also appear that his lieutenant several doors away died on or about that day. Same day that I approximately began hearing noises in the home.
Oh, the front door lock closing by itself was witnessed by all three of us.

Did they also mention UFO's sightings in their study of Sleep Paralysis. I read much of the explanations which are all BS in my opinion. Just another way to milk people by the Medical Industrial Complex.
You never answered my question on whether you ever had Sleep Paralysis. So?
Many o those who come up with answers never had Sleep Paralysis. Bad science

Am in process of doing same but what I learned from speaking to father Morey was fascinating. He was a former Fed prosecuting attorney. then he became a priest and a Vatican trained Exorcist.
Ok, for me to trust the science on Sleep Paralysis I would like just one PhD conduct a DNA study on a group of at lease 200 SP experiencers and determine if exists a common DNA trait.
Study would be among all races and people throughout the world. To that I would be sold. Somewhat. Every race throughout the world for 1000's of years has experienced SP. It was 1st documented in ancient China like 450 AD.
When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?

I chased it down for four several years as this subject is still relatively unknown. I never knew what I had was called Sleep Paralysis. That was the result of ATS via my PM with SLED735 beginning December 2018.
Then in October 2022 I learned that the 7' faceless hooded thing was called "the Guardian of the Threshold" by speaking with Dr. Brooks.
On this one I wont trust the science. I read much on science when I first found out that what I have is called Sleep Paralysis. Most articles on it are all the same regurgitated carp REM blah blah blah.

Sociology is the scientific study of society, human social behavior, patterns of social relationships, social interaction, and aspects of culture associated with everyday life.0 It investigates the structure of groups, organizations, and societies and how people interact within these contexts.12 The subject matter of sociology ranges from the intimate family to the hostile mob, from organized crime to religious traditions, from the divisions of race, gender, and social class to the shared beliefs of a common culture, and from the sociology of work to the sociology of sports.12 Sociology uses various methods of empirical investigation and critical analysis to develop a body of knowledge about social order and social change.

I always look for a logical explanation when mysterious things happen, and if I can't find one I just chock it up to 'that's odd'. lol- but so much of your post could have been written by me.
The distant voices when I'm trying to fall asleep has been a big one lately, along with an occasional sensation of someone sitting down on the bed, or a very brief touch. I tend to chock it up to my sleepy mind playing the imagination game.
After so many years of seeing all strange events like this being attributed to paranormal activity I came to the conclusion there's nothing 'paranormal' about them; it's just a part of our reality we don't understand yet.
Perhaps our subconscious mind even plays a part in creating unusual activity. Perhaps it's untapped mental power we don't realize we possess being released without our awareness-like a pressure valve or something.
Yogi's were reported to levitate; monks were said to walk on water and through walls. The 'spiritually adept' in so much of the worlds' legends and lore were said to have the powers to do what we now attribute to the paranormal.
Did we lose our ancestorial memory at some point in history? Or, maybe we're all just demon possessed.
