## Resource

🌙 EPISODE 36: They Only Come Out at Night - Sleep Paralysis & Spiritual Warfare with Vicki Joy Anderson In this episode of Dark Florida , we journey into the unsettling world of sleep paralysis and the unseen forces that move in the dark. I sit down with author and researcher Vicki Joy Anderson , whose book They Only Come Out at Night has become one of the most talked-about explorations into nocturnal attacks, spiritual vulnerability, and the thin line between nightmares and true encounters. Our conversation dives deep into the nature of sleep paralysis and the entities many people claim to see during these episodes. Shadow figures, beings on the chest, presences that feel intentional rather than imagined. Vicki explains how to discern the difference between an ordinary dream state and a genuine demonic night terror. We explore the darker side of spiritual warfare, the psychological and spiritual mechanisms behind nighttime attacks, and why certain people seem to be more targeted than others. Vicki breaks down the crucial distinctions between an exorcism and a deliverance , explaining why these two practices are not interchangeable and how each serves a different purpose in confronting spiritual oppression. Throughout the conversation, we discuss warning signs, vulnerabilities, generational patterns, and the types of doorways. Emotional, spiritual, and environmental. That can allow unwanted encounters to begin. Vicki shares insight into how individuals can protect themselves, how to close these doorways, and what to do if someone feels they are experiencing targeted nighttime visits. This episode is for anyone who has questioned what truly happens in the borderland between sleeping and waking, or who senses that there may be more to the shadows than the mind alone…
