Tucker Carlson quite clearly just had a sleep paralysis [1]. I had one too. Scared the shit out of me when it happened. Since you can't move or breath and the hallucination of a robed figure sitting on top of you is really vivid. Quite interesting the human brain chooses to conjecture a hallucination which is about the same for everyone who experiences it.
I only (rarely) get it in the morning, right before I'm about to fully wake up. I always panic because I'm desperate to move on my own, even though I know I shouldn't. But I've never seen a demon or anything, just my room – though it's an imagined version because my eyes aren't actually open yet, and usually when I wake up the room and lighting look quite different.

TIL Tucker Carlson was mauled by a daemon.

When I get sleep paralysis, I either see shadows or aliens (the typical Hollywood grey ones with big heads) surrounding my bed.
Greys for me too, thanks to tv shows about abduction on tv as a kid no doubt
