I've been asked by several people, why do hauntings mostly happen at night? And I always tell them the same thing. They don't. They happen during the daytime as well. The speaker usually acts skeptical until I explain. At night, there is less going on to distract you and you are more aware of activity. During the day you can explain odd sounds away as, the children playing, the neighbors next door or a loved one in the next room. At night, you are hyper-aware of your surroundings due to movies and TV shows that show home invasions or, with the advent of all the ghost hunting shows, paranormal activity. Add to that the fact that you are very aware of every sound in your home, hoping it doesn't wake the kids, or worse, it's not actually ONE of the kids getting up sick. You move quietly through the darkness of your home, respectful of those that are sleeping, and that's when you are more aware of noises and activity. And, take into account that most people are put off by the dark anyway, so you have a moment that is RIPE for heart-pounding fear.
Paranormal activity takes place during the daylight hours, probably as often as night time. We are just braver during the day. While the sun is up, we have soccer practice, home work, dinner or TV to distract us. We don't pay attention to that creak behind us, or the person that we only saw for a second out of the corner of our eye. It was a day dream or some foreign object messing with our vision. We blink several times to get the offending particle out, and clear our eye sight. But at night...we take it seriously and it scares us.
I'm sure some of you are asking, 'Well if paranormal activity happens during the day, why do you investigate at night?'. That's a valid question. And the answer is...at night we can use Infra Red and/or Ultra Violet cameras. To explain further, you have normal vision, which is the light spectrum that we see in everyday. On one side of that spectrum, you have Ultra Violet light, which the human eye can not pick up on, but certain cameras can; and on the other side, you have Infra Red. Again, the human eye can't see this, but certain cameras are made to do so. Adding both of these spectrums, with our cameras, adds to the evidence we are capable of capturing, thusly, giving us a greater range of possibilities. Not to say that we will capture something every time, because honestly we don't. Sometimes it's a case of right-time, right-place.
So, hopefully to put your mind at ease, if you aren't being absolutely PLAGUED by spirits during the daytime, then you are probably all right. But if you are being harassed...then call a legitimate paranormal group to help you determine what sort of entity you are dealing with so that you can make an educated decision on how to handle the situation. Not all entities are mean spirited, and not all activity happens at night. Hopefully this post will give you a different way of looking at things, and maybe clear up some questions you've had.
