Title: The Witching hour
Post by: Ghost1 on Sep 13 2008 - 09:58PM

In European folklore, the witching hour is the time when supernatural creatures such as witches, demons and ghosts are thought to be at their most powerful, and black magic at its most effective. This hour is typically midnight, and the term may now be used to refer to midnight, or any late hour, even without having the associated superstitious beliefs. The term "witching hour" can also refer to the period from midnight to 3am.

Ok, all you paranormal experts out there, I have a question for you all........ When is The Witching hour?
I've been looking around and reading all kinds of things and no one seems to say the same thing?  Is it Midnight to 1:00am, Midnight to 3:00am  or is it 3:00am it's self?

I want to add a greeting to the forum, that says "Welcome to the Witching Hour"  But, I'm not sure what time to do it?

I don't get that. On paranormal state they have dead time from like 12 to 3 am. But honestly, if a place is haunted it should be haunted all the time. That is why I am trying to find the locations to the real Old Union and Niccum, which are supposedly haunted day and night.

I'm definitely not a paranormal expert. But, as far as I was aware, the witching hour starts at midnight. How long it lasts exactly, I don't know. It could be anywhere from 3a to 5a. Not sure. I'm not much help, am I?  emb

The "Witching Hour" is incorrectly believed to be at Midnight... for obvious reasons.

However, it begins at 3:00am... it is the mockery of the time that Jesus died, which was 3:00PM.

The intensity of things *does* tend to pick up, even after the stroke of midnight, but 3am is when the "door", per say, is open widest.

That actually makes sense. When our group was in Villisca and things started happening that we could hear with our naked ears, it was around 3a. Thank you, MM! You cleared a lot up!  bo  =D>

3am is witching hour. It is a mockery of the time Jesus passed. They say this is supposed to be the time when things are swinging with the most juice
