After having sleep paralysis for the last decade or more, and researching it a bit, I think that sleep paralysis is a good explanation for ghosts and alien abductions. 
I've personally went through an entire alien abduction sequence when I first started getting sleep paralysis and many times I have seen someone or something at the end of my bed. Once I found out what sleep paralysis was I began to not fear the whole experience anymore. 
It's pretty amazing what the mind can do.

Anyone else ever just snapped out of it from sheer willpower alone?
Whenever I get sleep paralysis I start thinking stuff like 'Yeah fuck you you aren't holding me down' and start forcing my body to move, usually I start from the neck in a motion similar to how you'd crack your neck and from that point on I just free myself.
Fuck you ayys, you are not probing my ass.

No, but I learned what sleep paralysis was before I ever had it. When I realized I was waking up and couldn't move, I was like 'oh, that's that sleep paralysis thing' and all the hallucinations instantly disappeared. Took me longer to be able to move.

I experienced it for time when I was like 14 and it scared the shit out of me.
