I used to suffer from conscious sleep paralysis pretty frequently. In that state, I always had the distinct feeling of a demonic presence. That is why in the popular belief this state is caused by a ghostly being.
Is the demonic presence the cause of the conscious sleep paralysis, or is the presence and effect ( a demonic being approaching because of a weakened state of mind),
Or, more simply, such a conscious paralysis is so excruciating that it conjures up the presence of demons.

I too used to scream to be woken up. Once it happened on a commuters' bus and people report I screamed so loud that everyone was scared.

Presently it happens far more rarely.
