Why does all paranormal happen after sunset?

[Liberator]

Sorry I haven't been back for awhile, I've been busy lately.

Why is it that paranormal experiences nearly always happen in dark or gloomy places or during night time? Or atleast nearly all rumours of them happening including some confirmed true stories take place during night or in darkness? Nearly every single paranormal story or experience happens in the dark. It is like the dark is a solvent for these things to happen.

Any idea why?

For example in a major paranormal sight in india nobody is allowed in during the dark because its dangerous. "Entering the borders of Bhangarh before sunrise and after sunset is strictly prohibited. Legal action would be taken against anybody who does not follow these instructions". Some other rules are there according to which no one is allowed to graze their animals after sunset: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhangarh

It doesn't.

It's a lot easier for people to pick up on these things at night. When we turn off the lights and the world around us is quiet it's easier to pick other things up with your senses.

There are bunches of reasons why any one particular location may be more active at night but it's not a hard and firm rule in general.

You've been watching to much tv.

I don't watch TV much actually unless its for news. But nearly all stories I've heard from others irl or read online about paranormal experience are during night.

[RoseRed]

That's when most people go looking for it.

If you want long complex answers, you might find it in Astrology. The hours and cycles of the day and all that, some energies being more active at some times than others.

Long story short, the world is more quiet at night and the spirit-stuff is more noticeable to ordinary folks, but I've done workings and spoke to entities at all hours of the day and night. It's always there, people just prefer to not be Aware of it.

I agree with what others are saying. I know from experience that during the night all my senses feel like they've intensely risen, it's much easier to focus when there's not 500 people driving, talking, or doing anything nearby and most other creatures are also silent. Speaking of which, night makes a good time to meditate (in all usages of the word).

Meanwhile, people tend to go looking for this stuff at night. People often associate the darkness with evil, associate evil with demons, associate demons with paranormal activity, and so on and so forth. After all that, one people have spoken of their experiences enough, it gets into people's heads that these things happen specifically because of the darkness or spooky-nature of the time and/or location.

Also, if you want to get more into it, sometimes people aren't experiencing the paranormal at all and are just hallucinating. Sometimes, when your eyes aren't adjusted to the low levels of light fully, anything nearby can look like a monster. I remember one time I was having trouble sleeping and saw a face across the room, so I decided to turn on the lights and saw that it was just some clothes I was planning on getting rid of since they were too small. So, yeah, sometimes it's their minds playing tricks on them.

Paranormal events take place 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Ritual work has traditionally been practiced at night since the onslaught of christianity as a matter of necessity. Nowadays people tend to have to work or take care of things during the day and prefer the tranquility of the night to practice, but this is changing back to the way it was in the beginning.

I find it a lot more easy to concentrate at night and some of the "energy that show off more stronger at night" are quite appealing to me. that being said, there is no point on creating a paradigm to define that it is most active at night, its is basically all the same, different points in time some changes here and there but nothing so drastical.

Liberator and anyone interested. I found an excellent resource to nocturnal witchcraft in my library. This is a great tool with which to build some skills. Here is a link:

There is very prominent Magick that is for the day time. The sun for example has several gods ruling over it from varying religions and belief systems. To utilize their power one must be comfortable in calling upon them during the day vs the night. The sun is also a wonderful means for charging oneself or any tools depending on PURPOSE. I may expand on this in spell sharing. Noted that everyone is of the same mind as I- that the metaphysical is constantly active. Paranormal is simply a term to describe things not explained by science (not yet that is)

That is the same as Supernatural in this case. "why does anything supernatural happen chiefly at night?" Senses are sharper, an inherent trait in most humans. In the old days (before religion took a solid form) like the cavemen- night was to be feared and their senses had to be much sharper and instinct had to be much sharper during the night as well as perception.

One of the most notable examples is that if one visits the ruins of the city of Pompeii late at night or in the middle of the night you can sometimes hear blood curling screams from unseeable sources and even smell sulphur in the air: http://kittythedreamer.hubpages.com/hub ... ed-Pompeii

Light particles are a direct deterrent to the kind of extradimensional work that goes into making a visible manifestation. Or, that's what I believe. In terms of physics, that doesn't mean things can't happen during the daytime. Obviously, those require more energy.

It is like the dark is a solvent for these things to happen.

Quite a lot of UFO sigthings or poltergeist activities have been reported in daytime, for exemple. I am not ready to say that nearly all paranormal activity happen in the dark but it's possible that people become more aware of these phenomena in the quiet of the night, where 'occult' senses may be at work. But then there is a lot of room for misinterpretations as well; light reflections, hallucinations, sleep paralysis, vivid dreams ect. that are mistaken for paranormal phenomena.

In daytime we may be more distracted, we are not necesserely in the right mental state to open up to such manifestations. All things considered, nightime seems like the perfect time, you are relaxed, vulnerable; your guard - sort of mental barrier - is off.

well, i don't know for sure, but i have a theory.

It might be the lack of lux causing lack of photosynthesis and thus lack of oxygen in blood flow to the pineal gland

all the while the gravity of the moon is increasing the flow of oxygen deprived blood. and there you have the witching hour: strange things happen because of the lack of cognitive abilities when you should be dreaming instead.

i assume the lack of oxygen affects more than just human cognition as well.

/shrug. i really don't know though. just a thought. i'm not a scientist.

i'm not saying that the paranormal only exists due to the lack of human cognition as if it were some insult...i'm just saying that oxygen plays a huge role on earth. without it, we couldn't exist. would it not be hypocritical to think that a phenomenon doesn't exist, when we're lacking a necessary component to exist as well?

space can be funny like that, it takes one to know one. regardless, I'd never look past something just because it is a guess, especially if it were good. Besides, it might seem original, especially if it never existed in the first place. even then, it can be original to define, too.

just fyi, i experience paranormal just as often in daylight. but i think that's just because i'm a hermit.

OP contacted me by PM on the matter, but I suppose it's worth also sharing with everyone here.

Where does the fear of the dark and all burial sites probably come from?

Fear of the dark is a biological thing, ingrown for millenniums by evolution - the survival instinct provides more caution during the dark where there is less light to see one's surroundings from to predict danger.
From the quantum-spirit side of science, the feelings are linked to that, but also residual emotional energy and so on that don't exactly leave with the soul remain within the decay of bodies and gently diffuse out throughout the region. When there is a buildup of such energy in one site - like a cemetery - their density is large enough to be humanly noticeable. It works through all the senses, but mainly the olfactory, visual and hearing/equilibrium apparatuses are most likely responsible for the detection of these energies.

just fyi, i experience paranormal just as often in daylight. but i think that's just because i'm a hermit.

One of the paranormal things I've actually had the "luck" to see happened during the daytime. I was around 4-5 years of age and I saw two quite deep-coloured clothed children, a boy and a girl, with very big, starey eyes, sitting on a rooftop that I knew shouldn't have anyone on them. They disappeared the moment I blinked. The memory is quite hazy, I wish I could remember more.

reminds me of that one time i saw a "glitch". same exact way they experience it in the matrix movie lol with the black cat.. lol cept it was with a moving car on an overpass and i didn't just see it twice.

synchronicity is more annoying to me than anything. i honestly wish i didn't notice it at all. Don't get me wrong, some of it was pretty interesting, but I'm already ADD and have anxiety. Throw me in a crowd? I'd might as well be in an asylum.

i'm p sure i experience most paranormal stuff because of permanent brain damage. Like Synchronicity was the result of intense doses of synaesthesia I can't just come back from.

Some people who spelunk. Especially if lights go out report "hallucinations" or strange experiences. Thoughts?

Is it sensory or heightened perceptions? Or nothing to do with more paranormal being reported at sunset?
