You may know it as the Witching Hour, the Devil’s Hour, or simply 3 a.m. No matter which you call it, the hour between 3 and 4 o’clock in the morning is known for being a time when things go bump in the night. There’s a wide range of theories for this phenomenon: from this being when the veil is thinnest, to the idea that demonic forces are at play, to a straightforward case of natural hallucinations from our sleep cycles.
In this episode, we explore these theories and talk about creepy, potentially supernatural experiences people have had from 3 to 4 a.m., including: a shadow figure sighting, claw marks, and two instances of *something* impersonating a mother.
Special thanks to friends-of-the-pod Rachael and Lindsey for sharing their stories with us!
