3am, also known as the "Witching Hour" is believed to be a mockery of the time of Christ's death on the cross, which is believed to have been at 3pm. That's why experiences with the supernatural at this time are associated with evil spirits.
I have never been much of a believer of the supernatural but I have experienced some things that make me consider the possibility.
One of the most creepy stories I have heard from someone close to me was something that happened to my grandma and my mom many years ago during my great grandmother's wake.
Back home, the wakes go all night. After midnight, my mom and grandma were the only ones left at my great grandmother's house. They planned to go home once grandma's brother was supposed to come back from work so that my mom and grandma could go home to shower and get ready for the funeral. Throughout the night they kept hearing the sound of deep moaning. Being the only ones the house they were scared but didn't think too much of it, so they just kept on praying. At around 5 or 6am, they heard the sound of the shower. After about ten minutes, the shower stopped and they heard the sound of a bedroom door being closed. My grandma got up and went to tell her brother that they were going to be leaving soon. When she got to the hallway she noticed that the wet footsteps led from the bathroom to her mom's room and not to her brother's. She knocked on the door calling out her brother's name but no one answered. She opened the door and in an eerily calm way she called my mom to come into the room. When my mom got there she saw the footsteps leading up to my great grandmother's bed where a wet towel lay.
I have always been one to have to experienced something before I can believe in it, but this having happened to my mom gives me the creeps.
