significance of 3:33 am?
What is the significance of 3:00 am?
I took a small vacation to Alton IL( named one of the most haunted towns in The U.S) to visit family. I decided to visit some of the known haunted sites to take pictures and to do a haunted tour at the mostly popular haunted house, Mcpike Mansion.

I took the tour and decided I was going to come back for the campout in the fall.
After that tour I quickly changed my mind.
You see, every night for months afterwards I will wake up at exactly 3:00 am or 3:33 am. Why? Yes I believe in ghosts. I still wake up almost every night in the 3:00 hour. It never happened until I went there. The people who went with me had the same problem after coming home.
Any answers? Folklore?

In the bible, Christ died at 3:00 pm, for some people 3:00 am is the time of the devil. 3:00 am is supposedly the time of day the spirits are stronger, for spirits (good or bad) to make its presence known (based on personal experience). Try researching more about “3:00″ if it really disturbs you, if not just let it pass. If it gets worst, get some help.

you may have accidentally brought a ghost back with you. the ghosting hour is 3:00 am not 12:00 am. the ghost’s prefer it when the dew is highest because water helps them in there transportation into our realm. you may not actually have a ghost but instead a spirit because ghosts can come anytime but spirits can only come in the time frame of 3:00- 6:00 am.
the spirit world is not as far away as you might think it is. it is up 3ft. there are two identical worlds. one is up 3ft and to the left, the other is up and to the right.
you may just be visited by a spirit. in any case they are harmless. if you don’t want to be woken up anymore just ask them to stop. if that fails. ask god to protect you with the white light.
i hope this helps.

3:33 is the devil’s number, and 3:00 is when the Lord died.
It is a fight between them to win you over, and you will just have to scream out and say NO MORE, because when you went to that town, something in it created a paranormal phrase in which your mind tricks your body to wake up.

Temporary incapacitation that occurs before falling asleep or upon waking up is called “sleep paralysis.” The program in your brain that tells your body to turn off motor control while you sleep is designed to protect you; to keep you from acting out your dreams or other impulses. This is called alpha motor neuron inhibition. In sleep paralysis, a person will wake up fully alert, but also totally paralyzed. One exception is that you are often able to control your eye movement and breathing because those are also involuntary functions that would not be inhibited during sleep.
This is quite common and for most people it does not present a significant hindrance, although it can be very frightening. Many people describe a sensation of pressure that seems to push them down, but that could be attributed to fear and disorientation. The best and seemingly only way to overcome it is to relax, breathing slowly as if trying to go back to sleep. Giving into stress, fear and anxiety can extend the effects of the paralysis and delay your mobility.

333 is the divisble of 666 which is the mark of the beast. If you wake up at 3:33 A.M. or 3:00 A.M. it is supposed to be a warning of possession or demonic activity.

3:33 has been a recurring number in my life for over 15 years.

Why did someone say 333 is the devils number?? 666 is the number of the antichrist but 333 I have never heard. I too wake up at 3:33 and the other night my husband did too. I didn’t find out until the next day he was even awake next to me, but it was weird. I just pray when I wake up at 3:33.

Ever since we saw my cancer forming in november of 2008 I have been waking up at 3:00 and 3:33 a.m. every once in a blue moon. When I received my full diagnosis in June 2009 almost every night since then I have been waking up at 3:33 a.m. the majority of the time and then 3:00 a.m. also on most nights. My boyfriend started to wake up at these same times as well after we started dating. Even when we are at our own homes we both wake up at these times. I don’t understand why either. Any ideas?

I was raised as an atheist and later became agnostic, so I was never exposed to the holy significance of any times or numbers, except through Hollywood films. Last summer (May 2009 into June), I began to have a troubling series of 3:33 a.m. wake-ups, three or four a week, and found myself in a sick dread of going to sleep, knowing what was coming yet having absolutely no understanding of it.
Worse yet, I’d always seem to wake up exactly at the beginning of the minute - I’d stare at the clock in the evil stillness, waiting for it to click over to 3:34; it would take the longest time. During the afternoons, I began to dread the clock as well. Sure, it could be any old time when I glanced over at whatever random interval, but I’d also always glance over at…3:33.
I began to write the wake-up times down on a little pad after a while, to try to find a pattern. A few days into that, the 3:33 wake-ups stopped; the date was May 20. As I’d learn in early June, that was the date two friends, with a third person I’d met - an acquaintance - were swept to their deaths by an avalanche in China. Shortly after that, another two friends and people I’d worked with perished, both in the mountains. Then my aunt passed away. Six deaths in about as many weeks.
The wake-ups and even the daytime 3:33s have since disappeared, but the message, in retrospect, was dead clear. Something was pushing through from the other side. I can still remember that feeling - that some dark, ambivalent energy hovered between me and the clock, studying me with unknowable intent.
Freaked out? I still am. If you get these wake-ups, try to listen. I don’t think it’s just coincidence or the subconscious or sleep cycles.

I just watched a movie called “Fourth Kind”. I dont let movies steer me into a way of thinking. Though there had been a recurring time when the paranormal activities happened 3:33 A.M. It made me remember about 3 years ago when I lived at my parents house, and I woke up everymorning at 3:33 AM. This went on for nearly two weeks. I was just suddenly awake. I almost always went back to sleep within a half hour or so but It was an eerie feeling waking up and looking at the clock being the same time for that long. Maybe someone or something was watching over me. I think ( and hope) it was a good force.

There have been several nights that I’ve awakened at 3:33….I’m confident we have ghosts in the house. I’m sure it’s related.
