Why do spirits supposedly come out at night?

Question

I am not sure about spirits or ghosts, but I realize anything is possible. I was wondering why at times people encounter these paranormal events at night. I am sure not every paranormal experience happens at night but it just seems like it. For example, Ghost Hunters they always do their investigations at night. What's up with this?

Answer 1

Well if Ghost Hunters went during the day.They couldn't use those spooky camera lights.Which leads to another question.Why don't they turn on the lights?Most places are wired for electricity these days.I'll bet the don't do plumbing in the dark.

Answer 2

Each Group has their own way of conducting investigations yes it is true that most teams conduct investigations at night one of the reasons  is spirits seem to be more active at night my wife and I however have done investigations during the day I have found that if you keep as much of the home as normal and as close to everyday living the spirits will be more active they seem to be more active when the focus of attention is not on them they do not preform on cue

Answer 3

from what was told to me they come out more at night because the dew point outside drops and the spirits are more visiable. their world is 3 feet off the ground.so if u stand outside on the ground,3 feet from the floor is their world and when the dew point drops they are more visiable and more clear to see.

Answer 4

I don't know, but my experinces have went around the clock and not at a specific time such as night.

Answer 5

Ghosts are always around, it's not like they come out at night or anything.. Ghost hunters use heat sensors in the cold of the night, although many do search in the day time.

Answer 6

Supposedly there's more 'spiritual energy' given off at night after the sun goes down rather than in the day time. More energy means more likely-hood of manifestation or otherwise...

Answer 7

Ghosts and Spirits don't just come out in the night.  I have an excellent of a full body ed apparition that I took while the sky was a clear blue and I would say it is the better of some of the other ones I have taken in the day.

    I have had dealings with the ghosts, spirits and a few more things at night as well.  Ghosts do not live by a clock as we do.  Someone at sometime decided that nigh time was only the time that ghosts came out in the night.  It also gives ghost hunting a scary time.  Ghost Hunters for one thing, Jason and Grant have a day job and doing it at night makes the show seem more scary and lots more money for them.

     I am in a Great Paranormal Group and sometimes 1 or 2 of us just drive around on the dirt back roads to look for old abandoned houses and such and that to is when we get pictures or EVPs.

    It's up to you and you alone to decide if you believe or not.  All I can say is I personally believe and that the Paranormal does not run on our time anymore.

Answer 8

Spirits come out at night because they have a secret esurience for bed bugs, cockroaches and nocturnal snacks! That or, they can't come out during the daytime because mommy is washing the white, bed linen!

Answer 9

Spirits come out at night because humans aren't nocturnal.  We can't see well at night and we're afraid of that which we can't see. So we invent things to fill this unknown void of darkness to scare ourselves and others.  I'm sure humans have been doing this since we lived in caves.  If the sun's up then you can clearly see what's causing that tapping noise or that thing you just saw in the corner of your eye isn't a shadow person.  In other words, spirits are out at night because it's spookier that way.

What I want to know is, why do paranormal investigators turn off the lights?

Oh, and regarding "anything's possible"--no it's not.

Answer 10

we ghosts sleep in the day and work at night.

Answer 11

They don't and they are not ghost- They are around us all the time. Please go to staciespielman.com and read her site.

Answer 12

Scientifically, the ghost energy vibrational spectrum encounters wave interference from EMF energy in the visible light range, hindering the ability of spirits to achieve the activation energy needed to appear in daylight conditions. Take that, debunkers.

Answer 13

When you are shopping during the day do you track down every person you see and confirm that they are real? If anyone does this please let me know. So which person may have been a ghost? If on the other hand you are locked in a location with your known team members and possibly family members any unusual person/happening you will probably track down and confirm the trespasser (or ghost). This can be done during the day as well but it is less likely that the courthouse, museum, restaurant, etc. is going to close down during the day for investigators.

It's not night so much as location and circumstances (less people, easier access) that correlate many spirit reports and investigations with the night time.

TAPS (Ghost Hunters) also do their investigations during the weekends. This is not because spirit activity is greater on weekends but because the TAPS lead members both have full time jobs as plumbers during the week.

Answer 14

Probably when people are the least Alert or vurnerable....PREY

Answer 15

I think that we are more apt to pay attention during the night, don't you?

Answer 16

Well, 3:00 am is the "dead hour", the exact opposite of "the miracle hour" 3:00 pm. 3 stands for the trinity, The Father, Son, and the Holy spirit. It's when demonic or paranormal activity is said to occur, to mock God (in theory). It's also dark, and people naturally associate the dark with evil/unseen. I've had plenty of paranormal experiences during the day! I was sitting in my room when I was younger, listening to tunes. I felt a "presence" in my room, so I took off my headphones and a music box that was away from everything and unplugged, WAS PLAYING! It was one of the twist ones. That's just one.

Answer 17

animal...I think what psi exp. said is true. I know they're around in the daytime. Paranormal State (I think) said that 3 a.m. is when they come out the most. I don't know if there's any truth in that. I watched about Edgar Cayce today on tv and they didn't say he could do his readings and prophecies only at night. And the psychics that are on tv don't wait till night time...Go figure...

Answer 18

Spirits are out in all times of the day!!!

There is more theories for  this question heres one :

Well in theory spirits are made of energy and since energy is similar to light when we speak of spirits think of it this way! a flashlight you shine it during the day you can barely see it but at night it brightens up the darkest places ! Spirits are usally seen at night because there energy is fully manifested + more clear  to be seen!

Answer 19

Well there is many reasons. Turn the lights off, close your door, stay home alone, and watch a good horror movie. You will see a lot of funny things at night!. People see this things because they get anxious about something. Another explanation is mental illness and or sleep conditions such as sleep paralysis, etc. Go to an empty building at night, you will hear a rat 20 meters away from you, it won't sound like a rat anymore, but it will be one. You will see it running, but instead your mind will create a different story.... you will see what you wanna believe.

Answer 20

I have encounter them at all hours of the day.  But I would say most people  are too busy in the day to pay attention and it is easier to blame stuff on sunlight.  

Oh and Brokenhip... said something about a rat, i would rather encounter a spirit any day  over a rat.  I grew up in a haunted house, np.  Mice and rats---terrifying.
