From what I have been taught the witching hour usually occurs between 12:00am and 3:00am. Before I get blasted for my comment. I agree that 12-3 is NOT an hour. however the term "Witching Hour" refers to the time when the spirits are most active. The spirits are more active at night because the living is awake during the day, and the spiritual energy is different between the living and the spirit world.

Yes I always call midnight the Witching Hour : )
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.
In Gypsy beliefs the "Witching Hour" is actually at 1 o'clock as opposed to midnight because it is the "Thirteenth Hour".

No... 12am is midnight... 3am is the witching hour. Some believe that Jesus died at 3pm so as to mock him, I suppose... 3am has been dubbed the witching hour.
