Ultimate fact presents most amazing top 10 Scary and Shocking Facts About 3am. Why is 3am the Darkest Hour? Have you ever wondered why you always seem to wake up at 3 AM? This is known as 'The Devil's Hour', or in folklore 'The Witching Hour', which is believed to be the time of night when most supernatural events occur. Urban legends, creepypasta and sinister tales of The Devil's Hour can be found in Anglo-American, Native American and Hispanic culture but what is it about this hour that both fascinates and frightens us? There are many sides to The Devil's Hour-as the explanations are a divide of both science and evil. • Satanic Significance • The Devil’s Hour being 3AM is considered significant as it’s the opposite hour to the end of the Christ. The Bible reads that Jesus Christ was placed on the cross at 9AM and darkness covered the land from noon until Jesus’ end at 3PM when Matthew cried out: “It is finished.” Therefore, 3AM is a significant sign of the devil and dark entities because the time is flipped to mock Jesus Christ, much like when a cross is turned upside down which often features in many horror films of the satanic persuasion. • You may find in reddit stories that the number three is also regarded as a holy number within Christianity in reference to the Holy Trinity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. So if you do find yourself wide awake with a jolt at 3AM then it’s widely believed that the devil just paid you a direct visit. • Practice of Witchcraft • The term “The Witching Hour” was coined in 1560 by Pope Pius IV. A trend in witch-hunting had begun as people were unable to understand why diseases were so rife and decided to blame the practice of witchcraft. This prompted widespread panic and suspicion as people turned in those that they assumed were practicing the dark arts. • It was believed that witchcraft was mostly practiced during the Witching Hour as their powers were greater then. During the 16th to 18th centuries, more than an estimated 60,000 people were executed during the witch trials. Dunking was also a method used during this time where an accused person would be submerged in water and those who sank were considered innocent whereas those who floated were most certainly a witch. Now we have become more educated in regards to witchcraft, the Witching Hour became better known as Devil’s Hour. • The Legend of La Mala Hora • An urban legend from New Mexico known as La Mala Hora is translated as ‘The Evil Hour’ or ‘The Bad Hour’. La Mala Hora is the legend of how at 3AM an evil spirit appears to haunt lonely travelers at night. She has the appearance of an old woman with a demon’s face and if you’re unlucky enough to meet her it is said that a loved one of yours will soon die. Those who travel in isolated areas in the countryside are warned they will likely come across her scary presence. • Ray Bradbury Novel • Ray Bradbury’s 1962 novel Something Wicked This Way Comes tells the tale of a mysterious carnival leader named ‘Mr. Dark.’ Mr. Dark is a malevolent bring and feeds off the life of those he enslaves. In the novel, there is a reference to the sinister power of 3AM as Bradbury writes: • “Oh God, midnight’s not bad, you wake and go back to sleep, one or two’s not bad, you toss but sleep again. Five or six in the morning, there’s hope, for dawns just under the horizon. But three, now, Christ, 3 A.M.! • Doctors say the body’s at low tide then. The soul is out. The blood moves slow. You’re the nearest to end you’ll ever be save dying. Sleep is a patch of afterlife, but three in the morn, full wide-eyed staring, is living after end!” • The 3AM Challenge Viral Trend • Reddit story are full of 3am challenge. The Devil’s Hour spawned an internet trend that witnessed many content creators uploading spooky videos featuring “The 3AM Challenge.” The idea was to wake up during this hour with the hopes to capture on camera some form of paranormal activity.
