Ghosts And Demons That Visit You at Night Could Be Explained by Science

We want to believe.

ALICE M GREGORY, THE CONVERSATION 22 JUN 2018

If you believe in the paranormal you might not be surprised if you hear stories of deceased loved ones appearing during the night, huge explosions heard just as someone is drifting off with no obvious cause, and other peculiar occurrences.

But what if you don't?

My interest in the paranormal started with an impromptu coffee with a colleague, Chris French, who researches reports of paranormal experiences.

He told me stories of countless people who had recounted such events. These experiences tended to start while lying in bed.

Has been around for a long time, and if you look at reports of what was "paranormal" in society at the time, that was the cause for what actually was the sleep paralysis and what people tended to dream about - in olden days, it was a demon sitting on your chest. Nowadays, it's because aliens have kidnapped and immobilized you so they can study you.
