With a modern literal meaning of "midnight,"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Witching hour )〕 the term witching hour refers to the time of night when creatures such as witches, demons, and ghosts are thought to appear and to be at their most powerful and black magic to be most effective. It may be used to refer to any arbitrary time of bad luck or in which something bad has a greater likelihood to occur (e.g., a baby crying, or a computer crashing, or stock market volatility, crimes, supernatural, etc.). The witching hour from medieval times is the time believed that witches came out to do their "unholy" practices. The time ascribed to the witching hour was generally viewed after midnight. Women caught out late at night could have been suspected of witchcraft if they did not have a legitimate reason to be out. ==See also== *Witching hour (Investing) *Triple witching hour *Hour of the wolf *The Witching Hour (novel) by Anne Rice from 1990. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「witching hour」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
