![]() ![]() So if you wake up feeling panicked at this time of the night, have you been visited by a demon or in the company of spiritual entities? Xavier Remington, the founder and president of Mystic Investigations, seems to think so. “If you go on thinking something spooky is going to happen, something spooky will probably happen.” Paranormal researcher Ben Eno explains: “The belief in such a time, the Devil’s Hour, could be fuelling its power. Psychics believe that the veil between our world and the spirit world is lifted at this time and our relaxed state of minds - especially in a state of deep sleep - may be more susceptible to paranormal activity. Possessed: The Exorcism of Emily Rose also references the Devil’s hour (Rex) Ronald ‘Butch’ DeFeo Jr - the man who inspired The Amityville Horror - murdered six members of his own family at three in the morning, while multiple strange occurrences take place at around the same time in The Exorcism Of Emily Rose - another film supposedly based on true events.īut why would this particular time be the one part of the day we would be visited by the supernatural rather than when we’re not asleep? Names being called and walls banged three times in succession, as seen in the movie, are seen as a direct insult to Christianity. Many horror films have used the Devil’s Hour as a pivotal moment - in The Conjuring, the clocks stop at 3:07am and events take a seriously bad turn.

We might simply put this down to our brains not quite being in state that is able to think rationally - but there are also those who believe the reason is a lot more sinister. Many of us will wake up in the middle of the night, either from a bad dream or without any reason at all, feeling a chill in the air or a worrying feeling in your gut. The 3am time slot is regarded by paranormal experts as a time when pure evil - either demons or entities from the spirit world - make their presence felt. It’s not just a case of middle-of-the-night jitters but you are slap bang in the middle of the Devil’s Hour - and, if you believe the myths, you may not be alone. ![]() If you’ve ever woken up at around three in the morning and felt like something wasn’t quite right, then you may actually be onto something. ![]()
