Power of Devil's Hour : What Time is the Scariest
Devil's Hour or Witching Hour refers to the time where demons or other supernatural entities are more powerful. Since then, 3 and 12 in time, is widely known as Devil's Hour especially for those who believe in supernatural entities.
In Christianity, Jesus Christ died on the cross at 3 pm. It was a belief that since Jesus Christ was dead, bad spirits use this time to spread darkness. And to elaborate more, here are some points based on my own experience and learnings.

12:00 AM
When I was a kid, I remember that 12:00 am is the scariest time, known as the time where spiritual entity exist. I also experience insomnia that time in a way that I always woke up at midnight and having hard time to sleep again. If you have read my own horror stories, it mostly happened during midnight.
According to some oldies, 12 midnight is the perfect time where bad entities can freely go and it is because the night is fghting against the morning. I also observed that almost horror stories that I have read and heard from my parents, states the ghosts appears every 12:00 am.
3:00 PM
During my primary years, me and my friends loves to talk about real life horror stories. When there is no teacher we always gathered in one place, make a circle or arrange our chairs just to talk about it. There was a time that we suppose to talk about horror stories when one of my friend told us that it is forbidden to talk about ghost every 3:00 pm or am, and it was according to her grandparents. She said that 3:00 pm, is only the day time wherein those spiritual entities can freely roam around.
Fairies and Tikbalang(Philippine supernatural creature - body of a human and head of a horse), are the common entities that likely to go out in that time. We must not talk about it, to avoid attracting them and vulnerable for possession.
As I grow old, I observed that most kids and teenagers are scared of 3:00 dawn than 12 midnight. Some vloggers who wants to challenge themselves, do the trend "3 AM Challenge", as according to paranormal experts, this is the time where the darkness is much powerful; the time where you can have a strong contact to the other world.
Just last year when I always have this unusual sleep problem, and the first thing that I always do is to click my phone just to check what time is it, and it is always exactly 3:00 am, sometimes 3:01 and there's 3:04. I'm already aware that there's sometimes unusual in this sleep episodes, because I don't have problem in sleeping before and my health is fine; it just happened, and I don't know why. It keeps on repeating until it's one week, I told one of my friend about it, (I actually invite him here, but he didn't grab it, maybe he is busy for his wedding lol) who is into learning about the power of manifestation of the universe and interested about supernatural world. Good thing, he just came from a spiritual class(like that), I asked him many questions but his answers are limited, maybe it is private. So here it goes, I told him that I always wake up at 3 am, and he told me that it is one way of awakening my spiritual ability, and that if I want to control it I must embrace and try to talk if someone will answer me, and he added that it can be a spiritual gift.
I felt uncomfortable of what he said, although I used to see, hear and even feel some spiritual entities when I was a child, but I still don't want to have this kind of ability. I know it's a gift, yet I'm not into this. As of now, I still don't know if there's really something about me waking up that hour, but it fades through prayer.
Lastly, no matter what hour is it, we should not forget to pray and ask for guidance to the Holy Spirit. Negativity is around us, but we should not allow them to fear us.

I think in our place, it's around 5-6 pm where the dark starts to dominate. I tend to get afraid too whenever it's already evening.
