OP, this is something that happens to me just about every time I sleep, I wake up with them on my chest, neck, back, and sides. For the record, I sleep on my stomach, and have a ringing in my ears, as 
asked.

Interesting. Ok so there is def a connection. However this only has happened to me a select handful of times . Never has it come with ear ringing. However since the scars are always light it is most likely pressure from the mattress frame or something

When I was speaking of ringing, I meant that my ears normally ring or even fade out during the day. Not sure if age matters, but I am 22, and in decent health. I like the idea of demon claws, but it seems like it might not just be that. I doubt very much that its due to long fingernails (in my case), as the marks (last roughly a few hours after waking up, though other have lasted for days or even weeks, particularly around my neck) seem to be more indented than scratch marks would be, they look like reddish (sometimes skinny, othertimes wide/thick) stretch marks. I know these are not stretch marks, as they go away without hours of waking up typically. I am glad someone was brave enough to make a thread on this, as I never thought of asking if this wasnt normal for others (though /x/ isn't exactly populated by those who wouldnt be targeted otherwise by whatever causes these marks). I am tempted to call these 'demon scratches' or something of the like, so we can all help quickly identify what we are talking about, and perhaps build a support community around this issue.

Yes your description of the scars exactly matches mine. They have a consistency similar to stretch marks and mysteriously fade away after 24hrs max. Meaning that they cannot simply be stretch marks as you said. Honestly it may or may not be demon claws but I am suspicious for 2 reasons. 

1) No one I asked IRL said they could relate but many in this thread DO relate.

2) Anecdotally whenever I sleep wearing my cross chain necklace I have *not* woken up with the scars. Could be coincidence but maybe not. If I sleep on my stomach I have even woken up with the image of a cross imprinted into my chest from the pendant.

I have also gotten regular scratches while sleeping as well, and these tends to not fade. I have a couple still on my neck from a month ago. The odd thing is that I am unaware of any of my surroundings that might be able to do this.
As for demon marks, there are a few things I can think of that may have invited them in. Firstly, my mother (I still live with family) began dating her high school sweetheart again, and he watches horror movies, and plays violent video games. Prior to him coming into my life, the scratches were not typically there. I don't know if its the video games affecting this, as I occasionally play moderately violent games (never shows any blood though, just a simple death mechanic - Roblox, Fortnite). I have always felt something evil from Horror Movies, and believe if he is to at least partially blame, this would be the reason for that. I rarely if ever watch Horror (Halloween Ends being the last one I saw the day before it came out in theaters), so know its not me in that regard, unless there is something electronic causing this (perhaps I downloaded an actually cursed image). 
My second theory is that not too long ago, I looked in a mirror for a solid 10 minutes to see if the demons would appear, and they did. I was unaware of this prior, but always felt uneasy about mirrors in general. It does not help that I am surrounded by both regular mirrors, and black scrying mirrors in my house.
One other theory of mine might be that it could be related to my brother, as he and I share a room (he will be 18 in 2 weeks). He plays violent games (with gore and blood and whatnot), and I have no clue what else he does. My worst thing is my porn addiction, but he goes for the violence.

Holy shit OP, disregard the person who cucked your father, this is clearly the real culprit. You sick fuck, how could you? Do you also play Minecraft online... On vanilla servers? What kind of other fucked up shenanigans do you get up to in your daily life? You know what, i don't even want to know... You repulse me.
