When Do Spirits Stop By? The 4 Most Common Visitation Times
Updated 2024.11.06
When do Spirits visit? When are the most common times for Spirits to visit? Especially deceased loved ones?
After identifying the signs of a Spirit visiting you, next is knowing when they visit. There are many times of the day and instances throughout life when Spirit may visit.
The most commonly discussed Spirit activity time is a period in the middle of the night, usually between 2-4 am, known as the witching hour.
This is the time of day when electrical activity is usually lowest, so the interference you'll receive from incoming energy will be lowest. The idea is, then, your ability to perceive other subtle energies in the absence of human interference is highest.
On top of this, the light is lowest during this time.
In my experience, it is easier to see Spirit with cameras or your eyes when the lighting in the environment is dimmer.
However, besides the middle of the night, there are many other times Spirit visits and they can make their energy strong enough to be felt, virtually any time of day.
Once you identify when and how your loved ones, angels, or Spirit guardians will likely visit you, you're already more aware and prepared for the next time your loved ones, or your other Spirit friends, want to stop by for a visit.
In general, for a Spirit to visit you, a great deal of energy must be expended on their end.
They have to come down to the physical realm, shifting their energetic vibration so they can be felt, moving objects, or making noise if they can. They may even have to project sound, which again, includes an output of energy.
It takes energy for your deceased loved ones and other guardian type Spirits to visit, so they usually want to make the most of their attempts to connect with you.
They want to assure you're going to notice them, and thus, they tend to choose their visitation times wisely. To make the most of their visit, your loved ones and your other Spirits have a few preferred times, and occasions where connecting with you would be most noticed.
So below, I'm going to discuss the four most common times a Spirit, a loved one may visit:
#1 When You're Alone
Your alone time is one of the only times of day when you are not distracted by other people. With fewer distractions, you're more likely to notice the subtle shift in the changes of energy around you.
Your alone time may be in the evenings or the early morning. Spirit may also visit in the evening or when your housemates go out for the night.
When many of us are winding down for the day, and naturally, unloading all of our distractions, is sometimes when Spirit will make themselves known.
When are you least distracted?
Usually, this is when we're alone, so this is when Spirit will visit. The fewer distractions you have, the clearer your mind is, and the more likely a Spirit might be able to get your attention and get you to tune in and notice, rather than wave it off.
#2 When You're Sleeping
Spirits can visit us in our dreams or awaken us at night.
One of my hypotheses for why Spirit visits while sleeping is that relaxation, meditation, and rest before bed increases our vibration, so it's easier to connect.
Another idea of why Spirits visit while we sleep is that Spirits have no concept of time.
They are always visiting us, but we may notice them most when all other interference is at a low. Even if you do share a bed with someone, when you wake up from sleep, you are doing so as the only one awake in your house.
Thus, a loved one may attempt to visit you at night, especially if this is the only time you are calm, and your mind is quiet. While your loved ones don't always intend to wake you up, occasionally, they will, especially if you're a light sleeper.
Some Spirits will not wake you up. Instead, they will connect with you in a visitation dream.
Visitation dreams are identifiable by the feeling they give and an interactive component that's different from other dreams.
#3 During A Life-Changing Time
When you're going through a catalyzing time:
A time of career or work transition
Personal catalyzing circumstance, like a health scare
An event that opens up existential reflection
A major relationship shift
A period of letting go of old patterns
A period of questioning
Your Spirits are around you; they usually come in and surround a person in these before and after moments. They do it when you call them in. They'll also do it when pleading to the Universe for mercy.
Sometimes we are alone during life's most trying times, and it is during these times when Spirit is most palpable, or you may even have visions of them.
They will light up the way and provide you with guidance, tingles, and happy memories, to help you move forward.
#4 During Happy Life-Highlight Events
Starting a business, sporting events, happy ceremonies, big presentations, winning an award, freeing yourself from a bad situation and other achievements.
These are all events that your loved ones and your Spirit guardians do not want to miss.
Some people sense Spirit and loved ones in the room during joyous events or religious ceremonies, such as christenings or births. Spirits also visit you when they want to guide you, when they want to support your path, and during the day while you're working.
Sometimes they linger, especially if you need someone around, they do provide company.
So to recap, the four most common times for spirits to visit are
When you're alone
When you're sleeping or dreaming
During life-changing event periods
During memorable and celebratory events
These are the four most common times your guardians in Spirit will visit, including any parents, friends, or pets that have transitioned into the light.
There are also times of days when the veil between The Spiritual World and The Physical World is thinnest and times of the year. There are also moments in life that make it easier for you to sense Spirit, and therefore, see them or feel them more than you usually would.
