Hello all,

I was wondering if the hour is 12AM or #AM for the spirt world is more active? I am also curious to know why this is and any information.

Thank you,
Tammy

I don't think the time has anything to do with 'when spirits are most active'. However, you may be refering to the Witching Hour, which is midnight. It is said to be the best time for witches and spell casting.
Notice there are all kinds of cases in which people claim to have experiences at every hour.

I agree with Taka, More sightings are actually reported during the daytime hrs. As for the early hours a nurse told me that the most common time for natrual death occurs between the hrs of 3-5am.....

There are various indictations of certain time periods, the original witching hour is considered to be 12 AM, but what I've heard from others, 3 AM is more signifigant, it came to my suprise as this was mentioned soon after I went and saw Emily Rose (semi-retarded movie if I might add) it is what is considered to be the dwelling time of demons and a way to mock the holy trinity of Christ's last hour on the cross.

Little did I know this theory was bigger than just some conducted myth from Hollywood, you might want to check into it.

Very interesting and thank you for all who replied to the thread.

Tammy:)

Awwwww, now I'm flattered

^ your such a dork boltwave, but I still heart you

I always believed that people are more prone to hearing and seeing "things" at night, for fear of darkness/the unknown...but plenty of sighting have been reported during daylight hours

I agree with u

Hello Tammy! ;-)

Although I agree with other posts here in that, hauntings invariably take place more through the day rather than night yet, this 'belief' has come about due to something else.

It is because we drop our brainwave patterns down to the beta level (quiet or meditative time) later in the day that we become more prone to being receptive to them ('ghosts' or rather *people* who we cannot see) during the night. The later the hour, the more receptive we become. The 'witching hour' has come about as a distortion of one thing and a natural occurance on the other. The natural occurrance comes about because, by around 20:15am or so, most of us are asleep and so, wouldn't notice 'ghosts' around anyway. The distorted 'witching hour' came about when the religious moved the *actual* hour from early evening to midnight. The actual witching hour is in reference to 'the time between times' which is the hour before/after light/dark - or rather dusk and dawn.

Thus, the very best time to 'catch' ghosts is 'the time between times' - when we're also more receptive - and not 'the witching hour' when we're about to drop off to sleep Ok?


I Thank You For Your Time.

Hey that's true too!

For me, it just ends at 3am. Oposite of your ideas.

I like your theory about "brain waves" dropping... but that could also explain the false observation... such that our sensory perception is "off" and therefore telling our brain that something is there when it is not. This could happen at all hours of the day, and could be induced by any number of biological or chemical functions within our bodies.

In order to "see" something... it must be able to reflect or project light.

In order to "hear" something... it must be able to alter air pressure (produce sound waves).

In order to "feel" something... it must either be solid/liquid state, or have a differential of temperature.

And I have yet to receive any information that supports a ghost/spirit having the ability to manifest these phyisical means.

My proposal... it's all in your head.

i believe spirits are active 24/7.they don't need naps like i do.i also agree that their are certain times of the day or night when our senses are keener and we are able to sense their presence.many people like to "spirit hunt"at night because it's spookier and more exciting to them.

I beleive the time you will see things is when you least expect it. I heard in another thread, the more relaxed you are the better your chances are of seeing a spirit or whatever. i wouldn't count on it to happen everytime you lay down though

"My proposal... it's all in your head."

Why not carry your argument through to the end? EVERYTHING in the universe is in your head. Nothing exists until it is observed. It is the brain that does the observing but we must not rule out the possibility that Spirit also observes. LONECAT

if you ask me, i would have to say they are active whenever they feel like showing up

I agree.

I would conclude anytime as they seem to appear to have been captured upon photography at all times of day assuming the evidence is that of actual ghosts/spirits in photographs.

P.S. Welcome back Bob, weve missed ya

Agreed, and agreed.

But anyway, all of this sort of condradicts everything else people say about spirits.
Some say that spirits are always out, therefore there would be no specific time.
Others, like in the Emily Rose movie as someone mentioned, deal with a specific reason towards the specific time. That, however, is lame propaganda that I'm not even going to mess with.
My beliefs- if I had to have beliefs at all- would be that spirits would have varying active times. In this case, whatever reason that spirit was still roaming the earth would explain why they were there at this specific time. Confusing, yes...maybe.
Ex. A lady may have been slaughtered my her husband at 7:04PM on a Sunday night so every Friday night at around that time the spirit of this lady would haunt her husband's estate.

Good Night!

Thank you Rambo

That makes sense when you put it like that.

But what time zone is that???

Very interesting and thank you for all who replied to the thread

I just recently heard that around 3:00 AM seems to be the time most activiity takes place. That really blew me away because it really is about that time that I've experienced things, and around that time when our Lab would suddenly get up and go to the doorway of whatever room we were in and would growl at.......who know what!
