There are many varying opinions on just what exactly is carrying out these attacks. As for my own, Im not under the impression it is any one being. Sleep paralysis seems to be a common method of predatory spirits, entities and demons to feed on our energies and possibly work their ways into our waking lives as well. For months after my last attack years ago,my house became an extremely active hotspot for paranormal activity. I was scratched, hissed at, whispered too, It would hum tunes around 3am and occasionally break things. I literally was ran out of my own house on several occasions. It was only when I learned to starve it of the fear and attention it was feeding on that the activity eventually faded away. This is the most effective way to deal with such situations, and will go much further than any cleansings or banishings you could do or have done.
Some of the first accounts of sleep paralysis come from ancient Babylonian wives tales. They believed the supposed first wife of Adam, called Lilith, was banished from the garden of Eden for her refusal to have sex on her back and insisting Adam lie on his. In her exile she consorted with demons and became a witch, angry that she could bare no children of her own. She would come in the night in search of infants, so that she could steal their breath in their sleep. When I first learned of this legend I couldnt help but wonder if the numerous infants who die in their sleep of the mysterious S.I.D.S. or sudden infant death syndrome,almost always lying on their backs.
Another interesting thing to note about sleep paralysis is a well documented incident around 1975. During the Vietnam war, the CIA recruited and armed a tribe of people called the Hmong to counter Communist Pathet Lao insurgency. In 1975 the Communist Pathet Lao was victorious. The surviving Hmong retreated to refugee camps in Thailand. And eventually more than 100,000 ended up coming to the United States. In the passing years many of the Hmong began complaining that they were suffering sleep paralysis,wich they called tsog tsuam caused by a demonic entity called dab tsog. In their native land the Hmong practiced shamanism in wich the religious leaders would make regular offerings to their ancestors in exchange for protection against demonic beings like dab tsog.
Dab Tsog is one of several types of "dab" demons who lives underground in caverns and comes out at night to find its victims. Having neglected their religion, their ancestors were not protecting them, and it was their belief that unless the offerings were made by the religious leaders that the creature would return again and again until they were dead. Being oceans away, Their were no religious leaders around to carry out the rituals, they were all oceans away, Dozens began dying mysteriously in their sleep, and of all the refugees 72% had sleep paralysis attacks. Most abandoned their old religions for christianity, and yet they still suffered attacks and several dozen more died the same way. This particular incident is what inspired the movie "Friday the 13th".
