I don't know if it helps at all but my mother's home is "haunted". He doesn't really do to much thought, hides things mostly, sits on the bed, watches ALOT. We were never afraid of him, which is maybe why he didn't bother us as I understand it they feed off of negative energy, which we didn't provide. When something would come up missing (in an obvious way not just us misplacing it) I would tell him to put back, similar to scolding a child, and sure enough it would pop right up. He always stayed down stairs, which of course is where my room was, but my mother says that since I moved out and she got divorced that he has been coming upstairs more. I don't know if it would stay away from my father or not, which really doesn't make much sense if they like negative energy, there was a ton of it upstairs before their divorce so you'd think he would be up there but he avoided it. We haven't figured out who it may be, at first I though it may have a relative (since it never tried to hurt us) but it wasn't that familiar. I also thought that perhaps it was the previous owner, bc he always wanted to move back to the house (we were the second owners) he would constantly call wanting to buy back the house from the time he moved out until his death. I made a joke to my mom about her haunted house and the guy that lives there rent free, expecting her to laugh. It was then that she told me that "you think it is a guy too" not at all the response I was expecting, since I thought he only messed with me, guess not, and it confirmed to me that all those years I wasn't sliding toward crazy on the mental health scale, and it just is what it is.

If it would have tried to harm us, I suppose we would've or could've called the Priest (we're Catholic) but like I said, he isn't violent so we just let it be.

I've had so many experiences with sleep paralysis, people would call me insane. I never really told people what I was experiencing, out of that fear.
I had my first episode when I was about 13 or 14, and then when I moved into a new place when I was 16 I started experiencing it every night. I counted an average of 3 - 5 times a night. Some nights I counted 9 times. I've never seen anyone claim to have experienced it as often or as extreme as I have.
Many of my experiences were hallucinogenic. In many of my experiences, there was an entity. It presented itself to me in different ways, although I think there was only one. In the beginning I had no idea what was going on. When it first started happening, I would describe the fear as fear unlike anything else. Nothing else could ever put fear into you quite like this could. But after I learned about sleep paralysis and what it was, and after I had experienced it so many times already, the fear went down. To think about it logically, what is there to be afraid of? When you realize you aren't dying, and the fear that you would feel if you knew you were going to die, would that not be worse? It should be. I started to feel like this entity was putting a sort of artificial fear into me. I felt like it was just trying to scare me, when realistically there was nothing to be afraid of, except the entity itself, I guess, but if all it could do was put this fear into me, then I shouldn't really be worried about it actually killing me.. I rationed that I came out of it many times before, and I will again.
I also felt like this entity was pissed right off at me for something, and that's why it was trying to scare me. I've had many episodes where there is someone about two inches away from my face and just screaming insults at me and swearing at me for "what I did", or "what I'm doing", although I could never figure out what it was that I was doing wrong. If I were religious, I would have blamed it on that, but I've always considered myself to be an Atheist. I still have no idea what it possibly could have been that I was doing that the entity didn't like. I thought there should be no reason for the attacks..
My scariest episode was one day when I was sleeping, my young cousin came into my room, and it seemed like as soon as she opened the door, it started. She came into the room, got something, and when she went to leave, she opened the door to the entity. He was just standing there. He was dressed in a white cloak, like the grim reaper one, only white, and tied at the waist with a rope. (Originally I thought to describe it as a KKK robe, but as a white grim reaper describes it better.) His head was completely covered, except for his eyes, which were completely black and dark, like holes. When I looked into his eyes, I could not look away. I remember him sort of "telling" me that it didn't matter what he looked like. He told me that I would know everything I needed to know when the time came, and that I should not be doing what I was doing.
But anyways, apart from the sleep paralysis, I also had a lot of OBE's that came out of it, and strange dreams which I believe are called false awakenings, where I would wake up, go about my morning business, and then go to school, look at the clock, and wake up again, for real the second time. After I kind of lost the fear that I originally had, the entity seemed to take a different approach. It started to happen less and less frequently. I've had dreams in which I was allowed to speak to this entity and ask him anything I want, in a completely pitch black room. I don't remember the dreams very well, but I remember being "told" things, and not really learning anything new, because I learned that ultimately it didn't really matter to me, and coming to the same conclusion that I will know what I need to know, when I need to know it. That is a real realization. That's why I believe it to be a true phenomenon.
I very rarely get sleep paralysis anymore.

i have been attacked by succubus countless times and i know when they will attack.. and its always when i don't have sex or masturbate over long periods of time usually takes 5-7 days to happen sometimes less, the moment you embrace them its over which has been my mistake i will no longer tolerate them.. i don't see any link between my experience with this and sleep paralysis though

Does anyone know if these beings can change into a familiar person, say your spouse? I had a very bizarre "dream" last night, I was with my husband, but it just wasn't quite right. As soon as I realized that it was something else I began to scream and fight and pray, it changed from the form of my husband to a blackish physical form. As the change was happening to it, I felt it try to hold on to my ankle like it wanted to stay, but couldn't. I was relived and it wasn't like I all of a sudden woke up, it was more like I was awake and just opened my eyes, one of those sleeps where it doesn't feel you fell asleep or wake up (where you wonder did I sleep ). It was one of the most bizarre experiences of my life. I had something similar happen a few months ago, where something (in a dream) definitely tried to be physical with me at that time it was a clear attack, this was very different. Could this experience have been a result of one of these?

Yes they can appear as anything.
However if your only interaction is while asleep and dreaming then I tend to think it is more likely your subconsious working out some sort of problem.

These kinds of beings can work in your dreams but often interact while you are awake.

Why would you say that people should be murdered?
I read a lot of your other blog spot and I can see that you may have had a very strong experience, but I say that I don't think that you have a natural relationship. I will be replying on that post in a moment.

Would not be so quick to make that assertation. In my experience the tactic used is often directly related to the will of the target. The stronger the will the person has the more likely the encounter will be through a dream, path of least resistance and all.
