The Devil’s Hour: Here’s Why You Wake Up Spooked At 3 AM


Picture the scene. You awake from an uneasy sleep, drenched in sweat, heart pounding, guts churning, gasping for breath, with one foot in the world of nightmares and the other tangled in a suffocating duvet.

You look at the clock: it reads 3 a.m. You feel spooked like something terrible is going to happen but have no idea why. All you know as your mind races and you nervously eye the shadows is there’ll be no sleep for you tonight.

And it’s not because you’ve eaten something exotic, taken something you shouldn’t, or overdone it on the booze. It’s because you’ve awoken into the twilight zone that is 3 a.m., also know as the Devil’s Hour, also regarded by paranormal experts as a time when pure evil in the form of demons and entities from the spirit world really like to make their presence felt.

Of course, it could all be superstitious nonsense, but in the early hours of the morning, when reality is but a dream and you’re wide-eyed and open to suggestion, there’s plenty of things not just to make you go “mmmmm,” but to make you scream the house down in white-knuckled panic.

According to the myths of ages, the Devil’s Hour is very real, and when we awake at 3 a.m. with a fretful stirring in our soul, it’s because an evil as old as the hills is deliberately taunting us and mocking the death of Jesus christ, who, according to ancient manuscripts, died in the middle of the afternoon — at 3 p.m.

Just like turning the cross upside down mocks ridicules the Christian faith, the inversion of 3 p.m. to 3 a.m. is considered a time-honored tool used by demons to plague and torment humans with.

Psychics suggest that at 3 a.m., the veil between our world and the one beyond the grave is lifted completely, and in a state of deep slumber, our minds are very susceptible to paranormal activity.
