I'm personally one of those people who take full advantage of the desolate nature of times like 3 am. I do almost everything I essentially do during the day, including doing my laundry, working out and studying, even cycling. I personally think 3 am rocks! It's just super chill, you know.
i genuinely do think the time midnight to 6am is the best. its quiet and peaceful, and as i live in the tropics, its one of the few times of day where the weather is actually tolerable. also, warm drinks just taste wayyyy better. im honestly fond of staying up and just doing most of my work then so i can pass out by 7 am
I can't count how many times i went to work on little to no sleep. Surprisingly i usually feel pretty good. Its the day after where i hadn't gotten enough sleep to make up for no sleep the day before where i feel like crap
there's really nothing special about that time because police and ambulance workers are essentially still out and about. security guards and gas station attendants as well. people are just afraid of the dark due to what it represented to our ancestors, ie danger, the unknown.
yeah i work overnight at a gas station. especially after covid, we're the only place open, and i work alone so i'm the only person serving the general public at this hour. the most bizarre events happen and most bizzare people are out at 3am. i have a circadian rhythm disorder, so my wake-sleep cycle is constantly rotating around the clock. for two weeks i go to sleep at night and wake in the day, for two weeks i go to sleep in the day and wake at night. i used to do all my grocery shopping and leisure during the dead of night. so when a friend once told me with a straight face that only drug dealers and criminals leave their homes at night, i was pretty offended... but since i started at this job, i can see there's a little bit of truth to it lol. supernatural events? alien abductions? the real horror is from plain ol human beings like you and me.
@@niraeaAs a fellow night shift worker, I also wish I could be out at night without being lumped in with people using it as a cover for baddoing. It's so nice and peaceful with no people ❤
On a different note, one of the things I find especially "scary" in horror movies is when something macabre happens during the day, especially the late afternoon. Just something about it, like "oh you thought you were safe because the sun was out? No. No time is safe."
It's the creepiest, when let's say someone's getting chased by an entity, but the moment they walk into a crowded area, the entity is just gone, as if it never was.
I think the elementals, a horror novel by michael mcdowell does that pretty well. The characters literally suffer from the fact that it is pure daylight and heat in the haunted beach place. I also think it's because there is something scarier to see than the darkness in the dark. It's the darkness in the light. At night, you are forced to be there and fight your fears or whatever the danger might be. In the light, however, it is so much more frightening to see through a window of an abandoned house the shadows and darkness caused by the enclosing of the structure, which, personally, i fear more than any pitch black night.
I don't fear 3am. I remember during a very stressful time how much I loved being up at 3am, when the world was asleep and no one wanted a damn thing from me. It helped me draw strength for the coming stressful hours. Like Louis Armstrong called it, "the dark, sacred night" is exactly how I feel about 3am.
i used to be scared shitless of anything past 12, couldn't even sleep on a different bed in the same room as my parents. then things went down, circumstances shifted, and i ended up having to sleep completely alone almost every night. i remember being horrified those first few nights since back then i wasn't able to comprehend how people could just fall asleep in the darkness with no one around. had no one to call, had to deal with my fears in isolation. i would watch as the clock ticks and turns to 3:00 and just stare in terrified silence at the ceiling and wait it out. it was awful, but i was really proud of myself once i got used to it. i even experienced some midnight blackouts that would've made me cry if i was the same person i was before, but now i brush it off and realize that my only real enemy is all the work i have to do the day after 💀
My theory is that 3AM became 'the spooky hour' because there are several traditional/folk magic rituals from different beliefs which require complete cover of darkness and no outside observers. What's a better time to do something like that than in the middle of the night when everyone else is asleep?
@@pooberscoober Yep. I felt someone staring at the back of my head when I worked in a metropolitan medical center years ago. DON'T tell me that it's nonsense. Just don't.
I've worked third shift most of my adult life, driving forklifts in various warehouses. I've worked in warehouses where the lighting was motion activated, meaning if nobody had driven down an aisle in a bit, you would be met with a corridor of near total darkness. And let me tell you, when you're working on a shift with very few other people and have to grab some pallets from the furthest corner of the warehouse, in almost total darkness where the only light is just above your head as you drive through the darkness, in near total silence, your mind can start doing some WEIRD shit.
@averageuser2007 I wouldn't see anything, but I would imagine seeing just the Briefest glimpse of a dark silhouette at the far end of an aisle, where the lights weren't on yet, ducking around the corner and out of view right as I saw it. Or I would look to the far end of an aisle and imagine a dark silhouette of a head poking out from the corner and ducking back out of view again. Especially when I was turning into a key of product (where we'd line up huge rows of pallets of Monster drinks 3 high so you could drive far in between them) I would imagine seeing these shadow dudes. And even though it was my imagination it would freak me tf out
@@NAWWMANNN I sometimes go on night walks through the forest trails near where I live and the speed at which your brain can go from 'chill walk mode' to jumping at every shadow is crazy. It feels like once you start thinking about things being out there in the dark it just gets worse and worse, like the fear feeds on itself. I remember one time it got the better of me and I decided to just run for the edge of the forest where there are streetlights and car parks and such, and the only way I can describe how I felt is that the act of running and giving a physical response to the fear made it increase exponentially. By the time I got to the end it was like I could physically feel something right behind me even though there was nothing there when I looked. Just a feeling of impending dread that something was getting closer every time I looked away. On a related note, and I have no idea if this is remotely true at all, one of my friends once told me that the way the way the human brain has evolved to recognise faces and other people is the reason why it seems to pick out vaguely humanlike shapes in the dark. There is definitely something profoundly unsettling when your brain picks up a vaguely humanoid shadow shape in your peripheral vision, but when you turn and actually focus there is of course nothing recognisably human.
“People are almost always safe from ghosts and ghouls and the living dead in daylight, and they're usually safe from them at night if they're with others, but when a person is alone in the dark, all bets are off. Men and women alone in the dark are like open doors, Jessie, and if they call out or scream for help, who knows what dread things may answer? Who knows what some men and women have seen in the hour of their solitary deaths? Is it so hard to believe that some of them may have died of fear, no matter what the words on the death certificates say?” ― Stephen King, Gerald's Game
@ss-oq9pc.-I love Gerald's Game. The moment preceding the passage you quoted involving the "Space Cowboy" (or Moonlight Man in the movie) is still one of the most terrifying moments that i have ever read.
I'm an incorrigible night owl and 3am-4am is my favorite time. I call it "the Purge hour" - it's when late night security guards and cops are sleepy, and the only other folks awake are baristas, bakers, people going to the airport, and criminals - all groups who are probably too caught up in whatever they're doing to mess with you. So you can do whatever you want! Anyway, for legal reasons: don't do crimes, kids! Even the little ones that don't actually hurt anybody. Just go out and explore :)
Some 30 years ago I was in the Don Valley in Toronto when I came across some kind of section of broken building. On it was some graffiti. It said, "Listen to the echo of 3 am". That statement has haunted me every since then.
This is so weird lol, I see your comment and I cant believe it, Im from Europe but I have stayed in Don Valley (the hotel).. last year was the last time. I saw an animal during the night, turned out to be some hyper raccoon, it made so much noise
It's a few hours after everyone went to sleep, but it's a few hours before they all wake up too. If anything happens, you're on your own, and to me that's the only scary part.
When I worked at a reception at the university dorms, mostly the weirdest people started suddenly coming to the desk around 3.30 to 5 am. So there's certainly something about this time of the day that makes you just uneasy.
As a retired bailbondsmen, I can confirm that 3am on a new or full moon is when shit gets real. I just planned to not sleep until after 4 a.m., those nights. Then, when my dad died, he died exactly at 3am. I've always heard it mocks the holy trinity as well.
wow :-: one time i ran into a nine foot tall demon in broad daylight i went to my friend: hey look its a ca- AAAAGGGGGHHH- she had nightmares that night xD
As an 80's kid, I thought the witching hour was midnight. The first time I ever heard of 3am being anything was in 2008 on the show Paranormal State, but they called it "Dead Time". They had a lot of associations with the Catholic church.
I once went to the beach at 3 am. I stood there, struck by how dark the sky was over the ocean, while everywhere behind me the sky was glowing with light. It made me feel a way that I still don’t know how to describe.
I read someone with sleep paralysis for years, simply cured it using a sleeping mask. Since even if you'd wake up in the paralyzed state, you cannot see around you. This person's paralysis actually vanished completely after doing this.
I come from Germany and I have to say that I didn't know the mysticism surrounding the 3.00 a.m. time. Children in Germany were often frightened of the “ghosts hour” at midnight („Geisterstunde“). I don't know if that was a “trick” to get the children to go to sleep on time. But I remember when I was maybe 5 years old and was awake until midnight for the first time. I was scared and afraid of what would happen at midnight. But the time came and went and of course nothing happened 😅.
I have been an overnight truck driver for over a decade. I am not a night person although I've become accustomed to it. Can't say any particular time of night bothers me but lying down to sleep during the day and waking up after it's dark out still gets to me.
What I learned from this video: Canada is a wild place. Bagels at 3am? We got u. What kind of demand is there for bagels that necessitates 24 hour bagel shops???
Here in New Jersey, diners USED to be open 24 hours. That changed after COVID, but there are a few that are still open 24 hours (one of them just happens to be down the road from me). We also have convenience stores open 24 hours, like QuickChek, Wawa, and 7-11.
i used to be rly scared of 3am as a kid and then during lockdown it became a sacred time for me. being locked inside with my family all day for months on end, that was the only time where i could truly be by myself. i live in a rural area so sometimes i went and had walks by myself outside, or i'd go to the beach or i'd just walk around the house and enjoyed being alone, it felt like i was the only person in the world
The Cottage story sounds like hypnagogic hallucinations. You get this when you're about to fall asleep and it can cause many visual hallucinations or sound hallucinations. I hear a lot of voices saying names or noise calling to someone or even footsteps to crashes of items falling. Sometimes I've even seen something fly across my room. Its a very interesting thing. Learned about this when I started lucid dreaming
I remember as a kid I was super scared of the dark (I slept with a nightlight way longer than I probably should have lol) so staying awake past 10pm was a big no-no, for some reason I was convinced that monsters would show up if I did. Nowadays as a night owl who regularly stays up until 3am I'm not afraid anymore, especially when it's raining. It feels magical in a way.
there is no age for having a night light. you think adults want to smack their toes on tables or shins on beds? i personally need it dark af to sleep but for a long time i needed a tv.
@@Georges_IVI’m a 34 year old 6’4” 250 lb black guy. As soon as outside my windows is dark, you’ll hear me say “Alexa, nightlight on” until the next morning 😂 Don’t worry, the dark is naturally creepy for humans. If I wake up in the pitch black I’ll literally run out of the room in confusion 😅
@@stroodledoodlesAs someone who grew up in the rural South, I find it to be the opposite. Rural areas at night clam me more than the City’s during the night
im basically sleep deprived, luckily slept for 7hrs today but for the last week+ i've been sleeping horribly (either 4hrs or staying up). bc of my paranoia, i still somewhat fear 3am. usually the fear goes away if i go on my pc and play a video game since it distracts me from the time lmfao
I used to take long walks around my village at 12 - 4am every other morning for about 11 years. Never had anything happen tbh. I loved doing this because it allowed me to stroll around alone while not having to run into other ppl.
I really like how you blended information with humour and your own slice of life experiences. I also learnt that, for some reason, there's enough demand to open bagel shops 24 hours in Canada. Nice job.
Absolutely stunning video, man. I'd always wake up around 3AM up until I was about maybe 12 or 13 with the intense feeling of something being wrong, unsafe, or just off even though nothing was therel. My parents never let me watch scary movies or UA-cam videos and I had never heard of the witching hour, but this happened almost every single night without fail for YEARS and I was always terrified. I'm almost 20 and couldn't give a bigger shit if I wake up at 3AM but I still find it so strange that this happened constantly as a child. Your video helped clear that up for me. Keep up the amazing work, dude!
Great video, you managed to summon all of us night owls at one place, yes I worked during the night, I dont anymore but the whole charm of night when everything is so calm and peaceful, the night sounds, the stillness, is just wonderful. You being awake while others are not is just so relaxing. I absolutely love night time, videogames, movies, privacy, going out for a fresh air, its great!
I love how like people that just are normally up at 3am notice nothing, at all, its all in your head, told to you, like why your scared of spiders, you have been told to be.
One thing this doesn't consider is how much of a morning person phenomena 3 am is. For a night owl, 3 am is around the time you realize that you'll soon have to go to bed. But it's still several hours early for that. To a night owl, 3 am bears no meaning at all. Something like 10 am is usually far worse, that's the time people start mowing their lawns or doing other very loud activities while you're just trying to sleep. 10 am isn't the witching hour though, it's more just the sleep depravation hour.
im a night owl that also somehow fears 3am, idk man im paranoid in general. i convince myself i'll sleep early but stay up from 12-2am. if i don't have motivation to brush my teeth, and it's already 3am, i know i won't fall asleep during this hour so i just stay up til 4am. but at this point, i'm in no mood to sleep so i end up staying up til 6am. the sun has risen, but i still feel fear even with the sun out, but my eyes are so tired that i sleep anyway.
The only scary thing about it is for me to be at work at 3:30AM in the morning. Ain’t scared of some demons and ghosts when the Passengers at the Airport are the real frightening creatures.
Kind of funny something you brought to light for me, ever since I’ve joined the military I will on the dot wake up almost every night at 3 am and I’ve always been extremely interested in the paranormal even in my younger years. I never wake up in a panic or worried but I will shoot awake look around and fall right back to sleep but I’ve never been aware of “the witching hour” until this video
The nights are just calm and serene, and 3am is the peak. Even when I've pulled an all-nighter with the tv or music playing, once 3am hits there's just this calming presence in through out my surroundings.
I don't remember midnight being the witching hour. The witching hour I had heard was always 3am, and the theory I had was because it is the opposite of 3pm, which is the time that Jesus Christ died on the Cross, which began his work of the redeeming of souls. And witches/Luciferians believe in "As above, so below", meaning their way of mocking God and Christ was to do the reverse that the Most High had done So they believed doing their spells and rituals had a bigger effect at 3am
I used to love walking around Walmart at 3am, back when they were still open 24 hours. It was eerie in a comfortable way, devoid of the usual noise and commotion that comes with the Walmart experience.
12am-high aura boost 1am-mental high 2am-Gojo type high 4am-peace 5am-i have no enemies 6am-aw early 3am-combination of gojos high and realization of reality making you question your reality on what you are and what you live for and why are you alive and why are you staying for
17:23 was about to comment that what happened in that cottage sounds a lot like sleep paralysis. But since I’ve been low key spamming comments I didn’t. Now that you mentioned it I had to
For me I was always told the witching hour was between 12am to 1am not later and that what I have always gone with. It seems recently 3am has become a popular notion for the witching hour
I was looking for this comment that’s what I’ve always heard too and more recently I’ve heard of 3am being the devil’s hour but I only started hearing about that when 3am challenges became popular on UA-cam
@@Jyzelle16I believe it's always been that way. When you think about it, it makes sense when you look at Satan and how he does the opposite of what God does, to mock him The opposite of 3am is 3pm. What's significant about 3pm? That is the hour Jesus breathed his last breath, proclaimed "it is done", and died, triggering the prophecy fulfillment of redeeming the souls of the living and the dead.
I live in a city and I don't fear 3am as much. It's 4am that gets me; it's less freaky more worrisome. All the bar stragglers have made it home, the cops usually are starting to change shifts, and so crime at this time is at its highest, esp on the weekends where you don't have the construction workers showing up around 430am.
Im so in love with folklore related to times of the day/dates of the year where supernatural powers are observable. The year walk phenomenon and new years eve always feel particularly special to me
i experienced something very similar to your benadryl story a couple years ago. I woke up from a dream (not a nightmare) just like super scared and freaked out. I closed my eyes tight cause i thought there was something, i could move so it wasn’t sleep paralysis and i remember thinking about a portal. I used to take benadryl sometimes to sleep which might give a reason to why. I never had any idea what that was but this feels like it might be it
I was also traumatized by the 4th kind and I was 17 when I watched it. I guess the soultion is to live on the border of a time zone and go accross the border at 2:59:59 and come back an hour later.
I've only experienced sleep paralysis once in my life, when I was working nights. I woke and couldn't move but the sun from between my blinds was blinding me. My vision was like a kaleidoscope until I came to. Very trippy on top of feeling like I couldn't move or breathe.
Here in New Orleans, 3 am is just as busy and crowded as it is at 9 pm.. Bars don’t close at any certain time, usually around dawn or when the bar is empty for a while and then they shut things down. I have worked in the service industry here for most of my adult life… We also have many businesses that stay open 24 hours…
Okkk I have to talk about this, but I was watching the conjuring yesterday and it was good, and a few hours after I went to sleep, and woke exactly up at 3:07, and in the movie, every clock stops at 3:07 and everything bad happened at that time😭😭 sooooo how fun is that!
growing up, my parents told me that if you wake up at 3 am or anytime in the last third of the night, it means the angels woke you up to do tahajud (midnight prayers). moreover, these hours are when your prayers and wishes are more likely to be answered!
I work nights in a warehouse. 3am is wrap hour! Also whenever I hear about people's experiences with benedryl, I'm always flabbergasted at how wild they are. I just get drowsy.
As a kid my electronics and clocks used to go weird at 3am. Once when my friend slept over she didn’t believe me and we got her ipod/iPhone out (either late touch screen iPod or early iPhone can’t remember) and watched as the clocked turned 3am and waited for all the stuff to start. Sat in the dark together in silence we both watched in awe as her clock struck 3 and immediately started glitching (going back and forth like in interstellar) followed by my tv etc. just like in the movies. Now I was a horror FIEND even at that age so I felt some kind of glory and excitement in potentially being the one to live in a haunted house, but she was terrified and in tears and I had to console her for hours (despite feelings of absolute vindication and elation lmao.) She never stayed over again and I don’t know what caused it, I assume there is a logical explanation, but nonetheless it’s a fun little memory to look back on.
I must say you live in a nice clean town no homeless running around no gangbangers with loud music or gunshots no police bothering you instead of looking for real crimes and no boarded up shuttered businesses. Great viddie sir i just found you now im a suscriber.
I worked 2-4AM at a radio station twice a month in college for a semester. Between 3 and 4 I had a man call every time I was doing my show and ask me to play John Denver. We were a prog station but I humored him. It was weird. I hope he’s doin alright.
As an adult I firmly believe in the witching hour. I know of and personally have experienced anything and everything go wrong around that time. Every time I have had to work at the hour I stop at 3am, either call it a night or take an hour off because something always goes wrong every single time like clock work
The Exorcism Of Emily Rose is one of my Very Favorite Horror Films. I don't frighten easily, but that movie had me shaking. ESPECIALLY that Tape Recording!!
i just wanted to say at the cottage story part 4:20 smthing i had the exact same thing happen to me (pretty much) i was 10-11 years and i was staying at my mums flat with my step dad and very young brother. ive stayed many time before and shared a room with my little brother and my (blood related) sister. but this night it was a random one i kept waking up randomly about 3 or 4 times and it was dead silent (reminder i am in a very small room with a 2 year old and a 6-7 year old) and i was facing the wall, back to the door way what was left open and the room was so cramped it couldnt be closed. i was just laying there but i couldnt fall asleep, i had no fare anxiety or anything i just wouldnt fall asleep then i heard it. (my name) in my ear one time and i flipped over staight away and scanned the room but there was nothing. i asked if it was my mum seeing if i was awake and maybe i just got a memory of it but she said no and i was young at the time so she thought it was just because i was scared. ive never told anyone about this before except from my mum and it dosnt feel real. it was a womans voice maybe in her 30s-40s just call my name and it feels like it was a dream how un real it was and at times i feel like it was one but that voice is stuck in my mind to this day. What was it?
11:50 BEAUTIFUL!! Hahaha I'm a psychedelic therapist, amongst other things, and one of the things I tell people when they ask what mushrooms are like, is that mushies don't let you lie to yourself. You can try, but they'll just shake their caps and say, "Dude, you know that's bullshit, right?" Peace 🙏 🐉🐉
6:57 I have a story/example to back this up! One time, when I was in about 4th grade, my like best friend from the neighborhood and I started getting into spooky stuff, like telling personal ghost stories, watching horror movies, exploring the woods, walking around at night looking for anything paranormal etc.. I remember one day we were walking and I had this idea come up, totally lying and just trying to scare my friend, I asked if he’d ever heard about how there’s a certain time of night, where the link between our world and the next dimension or whatever, opens up and that’s when scary evil things come out. Ofcourse he said it sounded fake, but I dno why, the idea just always stuck with me. Years later I find out it’s called the witching hour, and a lot of folks are aware of this phenomenon! Hahah pretty crazy 30 years later…. I think it might be innate or at least something that’s driven into our minds at a young age, leaving us with the idea, but no specific reason why or how it got there. (If that makes sense, I am very tired rn….)
Actually, most of my sleep paralysis incidents do happen between 2 and 3 AM. The last time I had it, it went from 0 to 100 because it's usually just dread, but for some reason I also had Exploding Head syndrome at the same time and made it seem like a exorcism.
idk how to get rid of my ridiculous 3am fear, literally every other hour is fine enough for me, but 3am fills me with extra anxiety for no reason. and it's so annoying, since if i have to do a job at 3am one day, it will be 100x worse than any other hour
The only thing scary about 3 AM as an adult is contemplating all of your life choices and reminding yourself how a failure and disappointment you are lmao
i've been trying to fix my terrible sleep schedule, a side effect is that i wake up at 3, and stay up for a while. i'll sometimes have to stay up until sunrise, its oddly calming yet terrifying.
I remember playing red dead redemption during an all nighter at my nans in like, 2013. It must've been 3 or so when i heard these two cats scrapping outside. My dumbass thought it was someone being murdered, and i completely forgot cats exist. I promptly shut the game off and crawled into my bed shivering.
6:04 as a catholic I was not baptized as an infant but when I was around 12 I was in the RCIA program I think (I may have the acronym confused with something else it's been a while) but I was baptized on an Easter vigil mass which took place at 3 am and this was at a well know VERY CATHOLIC church in my town so that whole thing abt nothing allowed to happen at the church during 3 am is complete bullshit
The closest thing I've had to a hypnagogic hallucination is occasionally if I wake up and immediately look out the window I'll see stuff like strange particles dancing around outside and sometimes it'll make me panic for a split second. I've also had times when I woke up and thought the sunlight was a nuclear flash or something way brighter than sunlight.
The reason that makes the most sense to me is that 3 a.m. is an inversion of 3 p.m., the hour at which the Lord Jesus died. The demonic world usurps, mocks, and twists all of God's works; this is a prime example of that.
Have been a chronic sleep walker all of my life. My parents have said that when they use to find me I was acting out the dream I was having…also I have had night terrors, see that dark figure in your bedroom. I don’t remember it well but my wife said she heard the greatest ruckus coming from out bedroom. I come running out terrified.
As far as I know, 3 in the morning was when the Roman day started. Soldiers changed shifts. Later when the Roman Catholic Church was in power, 3 in the morning was when prayers started for the monks and nuns. It was only in the French Revolution that the idea where a day started at midnight. The opposition to Christanity is based on 180 degrees to the light. Turning 180 degrees means that you turn your back to something.

I'm personally one of those people who take full advantage of the desolate nature of times like 3 am. I do almost everything I essentially do during the day, including doing my laundry, working out and studying, even cycling.
I personally think 3 am rocks! It's just super chill, you know.
Definitely!! I get all my best work done in the middle of the night
This was written by a poltergeist wasn’t it?
i hope you dont live in an apartment
i genuinely do think the time midnight to 6am is the best. its quiet and peaceful, and as i live in the tropics, its one of the few times of day where the weather is actually tolerable. also, warm drinks just taste wayyyy better. im honestly fond of staying up and just doing most of my work then so i can pass out by 7 am
So you're that neighbor
the only scary thing about 3 am is knowing that you got to wake up early in the fucking morning to go to work
Yes, as someone who gets up at 4 it sucksss
I can't count how many times i went to work on little to no sleep. Surprisingly i usually feel pretty good. Its the day after where i hadn't gotten enough sleep to make up for no sleep the day before where i feel like crap
there's really nothing special about that time because police and ambulance workers are essentially still out and about. security guards and gas station attendants as well. people are just afraid of the dark due to what it represented to our ancestors, ie danger, the unknown.
Every damn time....
Oh brother you said it
I work the overnight shift. The only thing spoopy about 3am is the weirdos who are out at that time of the morning.
Where I am 3am is when all the weirdos start going to bed lol. Its my proffered time to go outside.
yeah i work overnight at a gas station. especially after covid, we're the only place open, and i work alone so i'm the only person serving the general public at this hour. the most bizarre events happen and most bizzare people are out at 3am.

supernatural events? alien abductions? the real horror is from plain ol human beings like you and me.
I also work the overnights. The only thing about 3am that bothers me is that is when my lunch break is up and I have to go back to work.
Like me!
@@niraeaAs a fellow night shift worker, I also wish I could be out at night without being lumped in with people using it as a cover for baddoing. It's so nice and peaceful with no people ❤
On a different note, one of the things I find especially "scary" in horror movies is when something macabre happens during the day, especially the late afternoon. Just something about it, like "oh you thought you were safe because the sun was out? No. No time is safe."
It Follows is a great example of this in my opinion
Honestly, I find broad daylight rather terrifying but I also find the specification of there being really scary moments that happen… at 2am
It's the creepiest, when let's say someone's getting chased by an entity, but the moment they walk into a crowded area, the entity is just gone, as if it never was.
I think the elementals, a horror novel by michael mcdowell does that pretty well. The characters literally suffer from the fact that it is pure daylight and heat in the haunted beach place. I also think it's because there is something scarier to see than the darkness in the dark. It's the darkness in the light. At night, you are forced to be there and fight your fears or whatever the danger might be.
In the light, however, it is so much more frightening to see through a window of an abandoned house the shadows and darkness caused by the enclosing of the structure, which, personally, i fear more than any pitch black night.
the terrifying thing about the day is that you are completely exposed, there is no darkness hiding you
I don't fear 3am. I remember during a very stressful time how much I loved being up at 3am, when the world was asleep and no one wanted a damn thing from me. It helped me draw strength for the coming stressful hours. Like Louis Armstrong called it, "the dark, sacred night" is exactly how I feel about 3am.
I always thought it was " ... and dogs say good night."
I always found my strength in the dark.
Same, it's a peaceful time and no one expects anything from you.
i wish i didn't have paranoia, then i wouldn't fear 3am 💀
i used to be scared shitless of anything past 12, couldn't even sleep on a different bed in the same room as my parents. then things went down, circumstances shifted, and i ended up having to sleep completely alone almost every night. i remember being horrified those first few nights since back then i wasn't able to comprehend how people could just fall asleep in the darkness with no one around. had no one to call, had to deal with my fears in isolation. i would watch as the clock ticks and turns to 3:00 and just stare in terrified silence at the ceiling and wait it out. it was awful, but i was really proud of myself once i got used to it. i even experienced some midnight blackouts that would've made me cry if i was the same person i was before, but now i brush it off and realize that my only real enemy is all the work i have to do the day after 💀

Just had a bo3 kino run last night from 1-4:40am 😭 it was awesome!
I fear 3:00am because I notice that I have to get up and go to work in two hours.
Same
My theory is that 3AM became 'the spooky hour' because there are several traditional/folk magic rituals from different beliefs which require complete cover of darkness and no outside observers. What's a better time to do something like that than in the middle of the night when everyone else is asleep?
also when the churches are unactive, 3am-4am. when demonic energy and witchcraft are at its highest.

Bro I got up at 3:45am today and made myself the fattest bowl of ice cream

I've worked third shift most of my adult life, driving forklifts in various warehouses.
I've worked in warehouses where the lighting was motion activated, meaning if nobody had driven down an aisle in a bit, you would be met with a corridor of near total darkness.
And let me tell you, when you're working on a shift with very few other people and have to grab some pallets from the furthest corner of the warehouse, in almost total darkness where the only light is just above your head as you drive through the darkness, in near total silence, your mind can start doing some WEIRD shit.
What would you see
What's weirder is whoever decided that the path that a ~9k IBS metal machine goes through should have lights that only turn on when you're near them
@averageuser2007 I wouldn't see anything, but I would imagine seeing just the Briefest glimpse of a dark silhouette at the far end of an aisle, where the lights weren't on yet, ducking around the corner and out of view right as I saw it.
Or I would look to the far end of an aisle and imagine a dark silhouette of a head poking out from the corner and ducking back out of view again.
Especially when I was turning into a key of product (where we'd line up huge rows of pallets of Monster drinks 3 high so you could drive far in between them) I would imagine seeing these shadow dudes.
And even though it was my imagination it would freak me tf out
@@skunknoodles6426 that's actually pretty standard in the shipping industry
@@NAWWMANNN I sometimes go on night walks through the forest trails near where I live and the speed at which your brain can go from 'chill walk mode' to jumping at every shadow is crazy. It feels like once you start thinking about things being out there in the dark it just gets worse and worse, like the fear feeds on itself. I remember one time it got the better of me and I decided to just run for the edge of the forest where there are streetlights and car parks and such, and the only way I can describe how I felt is that the act of running and giving a physical response to the fear made it increase exponentially. By the time I got to the end it was like I could physically feel something right behind me even though there was nothing there when I looked. Just a feeling of impending dread that something was getting closer every time I looked away.
On a related note, and I have no idea if this is remotely true at all, one of my friends once told me that the way the way the human brain has evolved to recognise faces and other people is the reason why it seems to pick out vaguely humanlike shapes in the dark. There is definitely something profoundly unsettling when your brain picks up a vaguely humanoid shadow shape in your peripheral vision, but when you turn and actually focus there is of course nothing recognisably human.
“People are almost always safe from ghosts and ghouls and the living dead in daylight, and they're usually safe from them at night if they're with others, but when a person is alone in the dark, all bets are off. Men and women alone in the dark are like open doors, Jessie, and if they call out or scream for help, who knows what dread things may answer? Who knows what some men and women have seen in the hour of their solitary deaths? Is it so hard to believe that some of them may have died of fear, no matter what the words on the death certificates say?”
― Stephen King, Gerald's Game
As soon as I read “Jessie” the dialogue became Walter White
@ss-oq9pc.-I love Gerald's Game. The moment preceding the passage you quoted involving the "Space Cowboy" (or Moonlight Man in the movie) is still one of the most terrifying moments that i have ever read.
The only thing to fear in isolation and deprived of the light is one's own mind from whence all demons arise.

Whenever Wikipedia says "The Church banned (insert thing) in (insert time period)" you can probably go ahead and assume it's a myth.
I always come to work at 3 AM
this is when I count the sesame seeds
I'm an incorrigible night owl and 3am-4am is my favorite time. I call it "the Purge hour" - it's when late night security guards and cops are sleepy, and the only other folks awake are baristas, bakers, people going to the airport, and criminals - all groups who are probably too caught up in whatever they're doing to mess with you. So you can do whatever you want!
Anyway, for legal reasons: don't do crimes, kids! Even the little ones that don't actually hurt anybody. Just go out and explore :)
Exactly!
Some 30 years ago I was in the Don Valley in Toronto when I came across some kind of section of broken building. On it was some graffiti. It said, "Listen to the echo of 3 am". That statement has haunted me every since then.
Weird.
This felt weird. I drive the don valley every now and then.
odd
This is so weird lol, I see your comment and I cant believe it, Im from Europe but I have stayed in Don Valley (the hotel).. last year was the last time. I saw an animal during the night, turned out to be some hyper raccoon, it made so much noise
It's a few hours after everyone went to sleep, but it's a few hours before they all wake up too. If anything happens, you're on your own, and to me that's the only scary part.
When I worked at a reception at the university dorms, mostly the weirdest people started suddenly coming to the desk around 3.30 to 5 am. So there's certainly something about this time of the day that makes you just uneasy.
As a retired bailbondsmen, I can confirm that 3am on a new or full moon is when shit gets real. I just planned to not sleep until after 4 a.m., those nights. Then, when my dad died, he died exactly at 3am. I've always heard it mocks the holy trinity as well.
wow :-:
one time i ran into a nine foot tall demon in broad daylight
i went to my friend: hey look its a ca- AAAAGGGGGHHH-
she had nightmares that night xD
As an 80's kid, I thought the witching hour was midnight. The first time I ever heard of 3am being anything was in 2008 on the show Paranormal State, but they called it "Dead Time". They had a lot of associations with the Catholic church.
100% always 12/midnight never heard anything about 3am until recently glad someone else remembering 12am as the witch n hour
Ryan Buell…. 😁😁😁
12 am is the dark hour. Only time to go to tartar sauce man
Pretty sure it was midnight, but nothing much happened so they changed it to 3am. Next it'll be 3.30am.
80s kid here same 12 Midnight.
I once went to the beach at 3 am. I stood there, struck by how dark the sky was over the ocean, while everywhere behind me the sky was glowing with light. It made me feel a way that I still don’t know how to describe.
blessed with sleep paralysis, like a fun house. used to scare me, then learned to stop them. the real key was do not panic, you can't move anyway
"do not panic, you can't move anyway" would be so good as a sentence in a horror story

@@AnAverageGoblinikr
Supposedly don't sleep on your back and you will not have sleep p.
I read someone with sleep paralysis for years, simply cured it using a sleeping mask. Since even if you'd wake up in the paralyzed state, you cannot see around you.
This person's paralysis actually vanished completely after doing this.
that "Hail Mary" screwed at the end was dope lol
I come from Germany and I have to say that I didn't know the mysticism surrounding the 3.00 a.m. time. Children in Germany were often frightened of the “ghosts hour” at midnight („Geisterstunde“). I don't know if that was a “trick” to get the children to go to sleep on time. But I remember when I was maybe 5 years old and was awake until midnight for the first time. I was scared and afraid of what would happen at midnight. But the time came and went and of course nothing happened 😅.
Same never heard of 3 AM as a creepy thing. 0:00 is the ghost our
I have been an overnight truck driver for over a decade. I am not a night person although I've become accustomed to it. Can't say any particular time of night bothers me but lying down to sleep during the day and waking up after it's dark out still gets to me.
I enjoy being up at 3am. It is a quiet and peaceful time.
It's only a moment in time repeating over and over again. When you've witnessed its passing many times, it will simply mean nothing.
This got recommended to me at exactly 3am.
Confirmed- you are being haunted by the Algorithm Ghost!! 😂
What I learned from this video:
Canada is a wild place. Bagels at 3am? We got u.
What kind of demand is there for bagels that necessitates 24 hour bagel shops???
Here in New Jersey, diners USED to be open 24 hours. That changed after COVID, but there are a few that are still open 24 hours (one of them just happens to be down the road from me). We also have convenience stores open 24 hours, like QuickChek, Wawa, and 7-11.
i used to be rly scared of 3am as a kid and then during lockdown it became a sacred time for me. being locked inside with my family all day for months on end, that was the only time where i could truly be by myself. i live in a rural area so sometimes i went and had walks by myself outside, or i'd go to the beach or i'd just walk around the house and enjoyed being alone, it felt like i was the only person in the world
The Cottage story sounds like hypnagogic hallucinations. You get this when you're about to fall asleep and it can cause many visual hallucinations or sound hallucinations. I hear a lot of voices saying names or noise calling to someone or even footsteps to crashes of items falling. Sometimes I've even seen something fly across my room. Its a very interesting thing. Learned about this when I started lucid dreaming
Not very related to this but when I fall asleep my consciousness cuts off instantly
yeah he mentioned that later on in the vid. i was also gonna comment this but i thought maybe he'd mention it later, so i didn't comment it lmao.

This was the most sophisticated Rickroll i ever experienced. At 3 AM.

"All right, so it was Puff Daddy". Wow, that random remark shows some remarkable precognicance!
I remember as a kid I was super scared of the dark (I slept with a nightlight way longer than I probably should have lol) so staying awake past 10pm was a big no-no, for some reason I was convinced that monsters would show up if I did. Nowadays as a night owl who regularly stays up until 3am I'm not afraid anymore, especially when it's raining. It feels magical in a way.
there is no age for having a night light. you think adults want to smack their toes on tables or shins on beds? i personally need it dark af to sleep but for a long time i needed a tv.
Ngl im still scared of the dark im 15 and i live in a rural place so i am NOT excited to drive in the dark.
@@Georges_IV Ok but rural areas at night are always terrifying so that's so valid
@@Georges_IVI’m a 34 year old 6’4” 250 lb black guy. As soon as outside my windows is dark, you’ll hear me say “Alexa, nightlight on” until the next morning 😂 Don’t worry, the dark is naturally creepy for humans. If I wake up in the pitch black I’ll literally run out of the room in confusion 😅
@@stroodledoodlesAs someone who grew up in the rural South, I find it to be the opposite. Rural areas at night clam me more than the City’s during the night
I have a very strange sleep pattern and I stopped finding 3am scary very quickly
Me: has a good sleep schedule
Summer: let's give it a small spice
im basically sleep deprived, luckily slept for 7hrs today but for the last week+ i've been sleeping horribly (either 4hrs or staying up). bc of my paranoia, i still somewhat fear 3am. usually the fear goes away if i go on my pc and play a video game since it distracts me from the time lmfao
I used to take long walks around my village at 12 - 4am every other morning for about 11 years. Never had anything happen tbh. I loved doing this because it allowed me to stroll around alone while not having to run into other ppl.
I really like how you blended information with humour and your own slice of life experiences. I also learnt that, for some reason, there's enough demand to open bagel shops 24 hours in Canada. Nice job.
Absolutely stunning video, man. I'd always wake up around 3AM up until I was about maybe 12 or 13 with the intense feeling of something being wrong, unsafe, or just off even though nothing was therel. My parents never let me watch scary movies or UA-cam videos and I had never heard of the witching hour, but this happened almost every single night without fail for YEARS and I was always terrified. I'm almost 20 and couldn't give a bigger shit if I wake up at 3AM but I still find it so strange that this happened constantly as a child. Your video helped clear that up for me. Keep up the amazing work, dude!
The early 2010s was a demonic time. Makes sense.
@@jimmyschmidt14 yep, music became really weird back then.
Great video, you managed to summon all of us night owls at one place, yes I worked during the night, I dont anymore but the whole charm of night when everything is so calm and peaceful, the night sounds, the stillness, is just wonderful. You being awake while others are not is just so relaxing. I absolutely love night time, videogames, movies, privacy, going out for a fresh air, its great!
for girls ive noticed its: A CREEPY MAN IS WATCHING MEEEEE
for guys its: JOGGING TIME!
me and my dad used to jog at night together
Your content is so incredibly well made bro i love your channel
I love how like people that just are normally up at 3am notice nothing, at all, its all in your head, told to you, like why your scared of spiders, you have been told to be.
One thing this doesn't consider is how much of a morning person phenomena 3 am is. For a night owl, 3 am is around the time you realize that you'll soon have to go to bed. But it's still several hours early for that. To a night owl, 3 am bears no meaning at all. Something like 10 am is usually far worse, that's the time people start mowing their lawns or doing other very loud activities while you're just trying to sleep. 10 am isn't the witching hour though, it's more just the sleep depravation hour.
3 am is the "f**k off bro im doing video games" hour
(ps "bro" is the demon that watches me (aka my cat))
9 or 10 am is the time when the all nighter kicks in
im a night owl that also somehow fears 3am, idk man im paranoid in general. i convince myself i'll sleep early but stay up from 12-2am. if i don't have motivation to brush my teeth, and it's already 3am, i know i won't fall asleep during this hour so i just stay up til 4am. but at this point, i'm in no mood to sleep so i end up staying up til 6am. the sun has risen, but i still feel fear even with the sun out, but my eyes are so tired that i sleep anyway.
The only scary thing about it is for me to be at work at 3:30AM in the morning. Ain’t scared of some demons and ghosts when the Passengers at the Airport are the real frightening creatures.
I just discovered you through this video but I'm already HOOKED. Instant subscribe
Kind of funny something you brought to light for me, ever since I’ve joined the military I will on the dot wake up almost every night at 3 am and I’ve always been extremely interested in the paranormal even in my younger years. I never wake up in a panic or worried but I will shoot awake look around and fall right back to sleep but I’ve never been aware of “the witching hour” until this video
going on a joyride during 12 to 5 AM and checking out some comfy, wholesome cafes is the best
The nights are just calm and serene, and 3am is the peak. Even when I've pulled an all-nighter with the tv or music playing, once 3am hits there's just this calming presence in through out my surroundings.
Yooo I love content like this! Can't wait to see your channel blow up, glad I can say I was there when you were on the come up.
Slumber parties and sleepovers always feel weird at 3am
The witching hour used to be midnight. It started changing due to the original _Amityville Horror_ movie.
Nah they started changing it bc of inflation.
3am is the new 12am now
and that was nearly 50 years ago
I don't remember midnight being the witching hour.
The witching hour I had heard was always 3am, and the theory I had was because it is the opposite of 3pm, which is the time that Jesus Christ died on the Cross, which began his work of the redeeming of souls. And witches/Luciferians believe in "As above, so below", meaning their way of mocking God and Christ was to do the reverse that the Most High had done
So they believed doing their spells and rituals had a bigger effect at 3am
Yeah but we have electrical lighting and social media now, people stay up longer 😢
I remember being terrified of midnight lol.
But 3 am makes more sense. It's more of a random time and it's super late at night by then.
11:38 the thought “ I could do it and nobody would find out “ probably popped up in his mind
Your videos give me vibes man. I am so here for that.
I used to love walking around Walmart at 3am, back when they were still open 24 hours. It was eerie in a comfortable way, devoid of the usual noise and commotion that comes with the Walmart experience.

12am-high aura boost
1am-mental high
2am-Gojo type high
4am-peace
5am-i have no enemies
6am-aw early
3am-combination of gojos high and realization of reality making you question your reality on what you are and what you live for and why are you alive and why are you staying for

Swapping trailers with a Reno driver out a Japnese American internment camp out past Tulelake. That has some built-in goosebumps.

It seems recently 3am has become a popular notion for the witching hour

@@Jyzelle16 yeah that’s exactly what I’ve heard and thought.
I think UA-cam videos have definitely changed the way people think of the witching hour.
@@Jyzelle16I believe it's always been that way. When you think about it, it makes sense when you look at Satan and how he does the opposite of what God does, to mock him
The opposite of 3am is 3pm. What's significant about 3pm? That is the hour Jesus breathed his last breath, proclaimed "it is done", and died, triggering the prophecy fulfillment of redeeming the souls of the living and the dead.
really? my witching hour lasts from 7 pm to 6 am ;-;
3am has always been the witching hour. If you grew up Catholic at least
I live in a city and I don't fear 3am as much. It's 4am that gets me; it's less freaky more worrisome.
All the bar stragglers have made it home, the cops usually are starting to change shifts, and so crime at this time is at its highest,

i experienced something very similar to your benadryl story a couple years ago. I woke up from a dream (not a nightmare) just like super scared and freaked out. I closed my eyes tight cause i thought there was something, i could move so it wasn’t sleep paralysis and i remember thinking about a portal. I used to take benadryl sometimes to sleep which might give a reason to why. I never had any idea what that was but this feels like it might be it
In sweden we call the hour between 3and 4 in the morning..the "wolfhour"!
I was also traumatized by the 4th kind and I was 17 when I watched it. I guess the soultion is to live on the border of a time zone and go accross the border at 2:59:59 and come back an hour later.
I've only experienced sleep paralysis once in my life, when I was working nights. I woke and couldn't move but the sun from between my blinds was blinding me. My vision was like a kaleidoscope until I came to. Very trippy on top of feeling like I couldn't move or breathe.

Here in New Orleans, 3 am is just as busy and crowded as it is at 9 pm.. Bars don’t close at any certain time, usually around dawn or when the bar is empty for a while and then they shut things down. I have worked in the service industry here for most of my adult life… We also have many businesses that stay open 24 hours…
Okkk I have to talk about this, but I was watching the conjuring yesterday and it was good, and a few hours after I went to sleep, and woke exactly up at 3:07, and in the movie, every clock stops at 3:07 and everything bad happened at that time😭😭 sooooo how fun is that!
growing up, my parents told me that if you wake up at 3 am or anytime in the last third of the night, it means the angels woke you up to do tahajud (midnight prayers). moreover, these hours are when your prayers and wishes are more likely to be answered!
I work nights in a warehouse. 3am is wrap hour!
Also whenever I hear about people's experiences with benedryl, I'm always flabbergasted at how wild they are. I just get drowsy.

As a kid my electronics and clocks used to go weird at 3am. Once when my friend slept over she didn’t believe me and we got her ipod/iPhone out (either late touch screen iPod or early iPhone can’t remember) and watched as the clocked turned 3am and waited for all the stuff to start. Sat in the dark together in silence we both watched in awe as her clock struck 3 and immediately started glitching (going back and forth like in interstellar) followed by my tv etc. just like in the movies.
Now I was a horror FIEND even at that age so I felt some kind of glory and excitement in potentially being the one to live in a haunted house, but she was terrified and in tears and I had to console her for hours (despite feelings of absolute vindication and elation lmao.) She never stayed over again and I don’t know what caused it, I assume there is a logical explanation, but nonetheless it’s a fun little memory to look back on.
She never came back bc the sleepover probably spooked her enough to leave an impression

I worked 2-4AM at a radio station twice a month in college for a semester. Between 3 and 4 I had a man call every time I was doing my show and ask me to play John Denver. We were a prog station but I humored him. It was weird. I hope he’s doin alright.
3 AM is normal waking up time for me as a trucker.
my family owns a lot of property north of that preserve in Denbigh and you are right, it IS DARK out there. I love it.
As an adult I firmly believe in the witching hour. I know of and personally have experienced anything and everything go wrong around that time. Every time I have had to work at the hour I stop at 3am, either call it a night or take an hour off because something always goes wrong every single time like clock work

i just wanted to say at the cottage story part 4:20 smthing i had the exact same thing happen to me (pretty much) i was 10-11 years and i was staying at my mums flat with my step dad and very young brother. ive stayed many time before and shared a room with my little brother and my (blood related) sister. but this night it was a random one i kept waking up randomly about 3 or 4 times and it was dead silent (reminder i am in a very small room with a 2 year old and a 6-7 year old) and i was facing the wall, back to the door way what was left open and the room was so cramped it couldnt be closed. i was just laying there but i couldnt fall asleep, i had no fare anxiety or anything i just wouldnt fall asleep then i heard it. (my name) in my ear one time and i flipped over staight away and scanned the room but there was nothing. i asked if it was my mum seeing if i was awake and maybe i just got a memory of it but she said no and i was young at the time so she thought it was just because i was scared. ive never told anyone about this before except from my mum and it dosnt feel real. it was a womans voice maybe in her 30s-40s just call my name and it feels like it was a dream how un real it was and at times i feel like it was one but that voice is stuck in my mind to this day. What was it?
11:50 BEAUTIFUL!! Hahaha

I have a story/example to back this up! One time, when I was in about 4th grade, my like best friend from the neighborhood and I started getting into spooky stuff, like telling personal ghost stories, watching horror movies, exploring the woods, walking around at night looking for anything paranormal etc.. I remember one day we were walking and I had this idea come up, totally lying and just trying to scare my friend, I asked if he’d ever heard about how there’s a certain time of night, where the link between our world and the next dimension or whatever, opens up and that’s when scary evil things come out.
Ofcourse he said it sounded fake, but I dno why, the idea just always stuck with me. Years later I find out it’s called the witching hour, and a lot of folks are aware of this phenomenon! Hahah pretty crazy 30 years later….
I think it might be innate or at least something that’s driven into our minds at a young age, leaving us with the idea, but no specific reason why or how it got there. (If that makes sense, I am very tired rn….)
The way each topic was presented was beautifully done!
Actually, most of my sleep paralysis incidents do happen between 2 and 3 AM. The last time I had it, it went from 0 to 100 because it's usually just dread, but for some reason I also had Exploding Head syndrome at the same time and made it seem like a exorcism.
The way he says bagel drives me insane.
He Britta'd it
Same here. At first I was like what the actual f*ck is this man saying. Turned on captions and that’s when it drove me nuts!! 😖
yes i had to skip forward after he said it the 3rd time. it just made me so annoyed
idk how to get rid of my ridiculous 3am fear, literally every other hour is fine enough for me, but 3am fills me with extra anxiety for no reason. and it's so annoying, since if i have to do a job at 3am one day, it will be 100x worse than any other hour
The only thing scary about 3 AM as an adult is contemplating all of your life choices and reminding yourself how a failure and disappointment you are lmao
i've been trying to fix my terrible sleep schedule, a side effect is that i wake up at 3, and stay up for a while. i'll sometimes have to stay up until sunrise, its oddly calming yet terrifying.
The only thing I dread at 3AM. Wendy's closes before i get off work 😭
Go to McDonald’s

I remember playing red dead redemption during an all nighter at my nans in like, 2013. It must've been 3 or so when i heard these two cats scrapping outside. My dumbass thought it was someone being murdered, and i completely forgot cats exist.
I promptly shut the game off and crawled into my bed shivering.
6:04 as a catholic I was not baptized as an infant but when I was around 12 I was in the RCIA program I think (I may have the acronym confused with something else it's been a while) but I was baptized on an Easter vigil mass which took place at 3 am and this was at a well know VERY CATHOLIC church in my town so that whole thing abt nothing allowed to happen at the church during 3 am is complete bullshit
The closest thing I've had to a hypnagogic hallucination is occasionally if I wake up and immediately look out the window I'll see stuff like strange particles dancing around outside and sometimes it'll make me panic for a split second. I've also had times when I woke up and thought the sunlight was a nuclear flash or something way brighter than sunlight.
The reason that makes the most sense to me is that 3 a.m. is an inversion of 3 p.m., the hour at which the Lord Jesus died. The demonic world usurps, mocks, and twists all of God's works; this is a prime example of that.
That was said multiple times in the video
Glad I wasn't the only one who thought of the theory of the opposite
@@kelsey2333 Good! I didn't watch the whole thing, but the point bears repeating regardless.
so christians are demons? they love to twist the words “jesus said” to fit their own beliefs.
Have been a chronic sleep walker all of my life. My parents have said that when they use to find me I was acting out the dream I was having…also I have had night terrors, see that dark figure in your bedroom. I don’t remember it well but my wife said she heard the greatest ruckus coming from out bedroom. I come running out terrified.
And then there's me sprinting on a treadmill at 3 in the morning
As far as I know, 3 in the morning was when the Roman day started. Soldiers changed shifts. Later when the Roman Catholic Church was in power, 3 in the morning was when prayers started for the monks and nuns. It was only in the French Revolution that the idea where a day started at midnight. The opposition to Christanity is based on 180 degrees to the light. Turning 180 degrees means that you turn your back to something.
