It’s What Really Scared Me !

Last Monday , the morning talk show I watched had a paranormal expert as guest ,
One of the hostesses of the show said that she always would be awakened at 3:00 a.m. and can’t sleep anymore so she would pray until she feels sleepy again .
To this , the paranormal expert said that it’s because it’s the time when paranormal activities becomes active . 
Thus , when I woke up that night which is a holiday and can’t sleep anymore , I looked at the clock to see if it could be 3:00 a.m . I heaved a sigh of relief that it’s nearly 5:00 a.m. , my usual waking up time on weekdays . 
I know most of you don’t believe on this since it is now the modern times.
But because of what the paranormal said in the show , I am scared waking up at that time already .
Thus , I wrapped myself in my blanket and prayed until eventually slept again , with my two hands clasping the hands of my sleeping husband .

@ms1864 You might want to re-think that.

Had the paranormal expert said that, say, 4.30 was the 'dangerous' time, you'd have believed this, too? What about people who have to work night shifts? When are they haunted? Do the ghosts come to them during the day? It's fascinating how people want to be influenced by such hocus-pocus.

This expert said nothing new, because this time is called "Witching Hour" . It's a term in occult belief that refers to the time at which demons and ghosts appear. The period lasts from 3 AM to 4 AM, when there are no Catholic church services and prayers, as marked by the Canonical hours.

@LadyDuck So you mean you only need 5 hours of sleep each day ? I need 7 hours but can always do only 6 hours on weekdays . I catch up on weekends by oversleeping and getting 8 hours .
I know very well that our brain always follows the same time when to sleep and when to wake up really . And that day , it being a weekday , though a holiday , i woke up that early .
Though because of that "witching hour" thing i saw on TV , it scared me if it is at that hour . I was relieved it was my waking up time supposedly but then got scared anyway .
The mind can really be so imaginative when fed with those .

@SIMPLYD I wake up every night at exactly 3:03, should I be scared?... Well, I am not, it's only a circadian rhythm. The brain’s circadian clock regulates sleeping and feeding patterns. I go to sleep always at the same hour, for some reason my brain needs to wake me up after about 5 hours of sleep.

That is interesting. I always wake up at 3am and have been doing so for years. Never thought too much of it but now you got me thinking.

Oh don't ever think about it . You were fine waking up at 3:00 so don't think about it anymore .
I regretted having seen that paranormal thing because it scares me now to wake up at that time when before i would wake up at that time with no scared feeling at all .
So, it's best indeed that we know nothing about it .

I've heard of that statement before, during 3:00 in the morning, the spirits are actively roaming around us, some maybe even staring at us while we're sleeping.

@SIMPLYD Good . Take prayer and Read Bible if you feel weak. Interestingly early horror and scary movies says Midnight 12.00 is the scary time. Now it comes down to 3.00 am to 4.00 am if it can come down to 2.00 hours there is no need for worry.

Whenever I feel scared, I say aloud my favorite chapter in the bible: Psalm 23. It speaks about healing and that God is always there for you, and you don't need to be scared or anything as He is your shepherd. After being comforted about that, I'm not scared anymore. I don't really believe about the 3:00 rule about paranormal activities being at its peak. In this world, I cannot dismiss the notion of spiritual beings as there are also in the bible (eg. demonic possessions), and I believe that they work 24/7, but they do not only show themselves as scary apparitions to scare people, sometimes they also disguise themselves as being righteous but in the end, it leads to destruction.

You are so right . I also like that verse , Psalm 23 . I think i have to take away that notion that the paranormal have said about 3:00 a.m.
Next time , i shall not be watching shows like that anymore , because before i am not afraid of even walking in the dark inside our bedroom .

@SIMPLYD That's true, the simple things set us off sometimes. Just watching some scary video can have an effect in our subconscious and it makes us scare easily. So as much as possible, I also do not watch too much scary videos by myself.

@GopherDanny It's best to avoid those things that can scare us . That way , we won't be stressed to the max .

That's called the witching hour! We also have a superstitious belief that any dream occuring between 3 to 6 in the morning becomes real.

Yes, that's how she called it . I don't actually want to believe it , but then i got afraid when i woke up very early , when it's a holiday the next day .
I know it's my usual hour to wake up on weekdays , but then , i feared of the said "witching hour " .
But then , prayer is what shooed the fear away eventually , plus the fact that my husband is just beside me .

Actually , i wasn't scared before because i don't know about that what they call "witching hour " , 3:00 a.m. -4:00 a.m. .
Now that i have known about it , i seem scared already of waking up at those hours . Maybe i should just erase the knowledge from my mind so i won't be afraid again .
But no , i already know about it .

That's good my friend . Just don't think about it as that way , so you won't be scared ever . 
Me , i used to wake up at that time more or less , but i wasn't afraid . But now that i have known about that paranormal thing , i am afraid already of waking up at that time .

Hmm that's interesting for me. It will not scare me but instead will make me alert to pray to God and ask for protection.

This situation can happen to us . I think anyone on this situation would be scared because we all know that if the credit card and ATM were picked up by scrupulous persons they can be used to purchase until the limit is used up . Good for the ATM because they wouldn't know the PIN so they can't use it .

So , do you believe it also that 3:00 a.m. - 4:00 is the "witching hour " ?
I regretted i have seen that show . Now , i am afraid of not being able to sleep anymore at 3:00 a.m.
But then , we can just pray and the fear will be gone , like what i did .

Paranormal activities just scare people. Do not worry as things would be normal.So please do not keep them in mind.

Indeed , as it did to me . But then i fight off now the thought of that paranormal thing , because before i always wake up at that hour but wasn't afraid at all .
