3 am is called the witching hour because that is supposed to be the time when spirits are most active in our realm. This concept is that the spirit world is right on top of ours but the time are opposite. Example 3am for us is 3 pm for them. This is also considered the time of the day when the veil between the worlds is thinner than usual. There are two whole days a year when the veil is the thinnest that is midsummer and halloween.

Midnight is the Witching Hour. 3 AM, not PM, is the Satanist Hour so to speak. This was explained in The Exorcism of Emily Rose, and actually until then I had never heard of it but I am not Catholic so go figure. Anyway the idea is that it is with the idea of Three because of the Trinity. So Satanists started worshipping at 3 AM to further spit in the face of Christians basically.

Absolutely nothing. I am a witch and there is nothing in my teachings that mention 3pm.
However, the term "witching hour" was in reference to the hour of 11pm to 12 am. The lore behind that is it was during that time that spirits and demons supposedly walked the earth. It was the final hour of the day and was given to "evil" when the hour of 12 am struck all such shades were forced back into thier hidey holes as that was the hour of god's new day. It is all old wives tales.

well i don't know anything about 3am, but i have worked midnight shift for many, many years now and almost everyone I know refer to 4am as the "witching hour".. Anyone who works night shift can verify that usually around 4am is when it is so hard to stay awake. No matter how much sleep you get during the day, 4am is a hard time. That is why we call it that, because it is like you are under a sleeping spell or something...

That is midnight.
In European folklore, the witching hour is the time when supernatural creatures such as witches, demons and ghosts are thought to be at their most powerful, and black magic at its most effective. This hour is typically midnight, and the term may now be used to refer to midnight, or any late hour, even without having the associated superstitious beliefs.
In neopaganism, it is sometimes used to refer solely to midnights occurring during a full moon, when a witch's power is supposedly at its greatest.
I think you are thinking 3am.....from the movie exorcism of Emily Rose.

You just saw "Emily Rose" didn't you? In the movie they explained it as a joke that evil was playing on good because Jesus was supposedly crucified at 3:00PM, 3:00AM is the witching hour.

Nothing. Midnight is the Witching Hour. I believe that 3 a.m. is the Hour of the Wolf, but it might be 2 a.m.

3 am is considered to be a witching hour due to it being the exact opposite of 3 pm, which is the time the catholic church favors as the hour of christs death.
