It could be a spirit or an astral spirit like you said.
Witching hour is a term in occult belief that refers to the time at which creatures such as witches, demons, and ghosts are thought to appear and to be at their most powerful, and at which black magic is thought to be at its most effective because the period from 3AM to 4 AM is the span where there are no Catholic church services and prayers which are marked by the Canonical hours which are also three regular hours in length, but in modern times that fact is mostly forgotten so the terms is usually used to refer to midnight and 2 AM recognized as the witching hour by some neopagans.
Adversely, the terms Devil's hour applies to the hour of 3 AM or 3:15, the suggestion being that this is an inversion of the time at which Christ died at Calvary.
The terms 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, a computer crashing, stock market volatility, crimes, etc.).
In medieval times, midnight was when it was believed that witches emerged to practice the occult. Women caught out late at night could have been suspected of witchcraft if they did not have a legitimate reason to be out.
Or it can be a witch who is astral projecting.
In my exp, spirits that I have seen take on the form of a shadow or dark orb, and as for the light beings - they look just like a shadow except with light instead of darkness and they also can appear as an orb.
...
Here's a fraction of what I know about witches - (I am too lazy to write the rest which is equivalent to a small book):
Firstly the reason why witches usually use a full moon for their spells is because the moon has an effect on the water in our brain.
|
I have heard that water can hold memory.
Secondly the reason why witches are said to be flying around 3:00 A.M. is because the moment the sun is out of sight - they purposely induce a state of mind that allows them to astral project and plant ideas and or suggestions into the minds of others.

I remember one time that I wanted to see what the astral realm looked like, so I decided to stay up for one week and then smoke some weed to help make me more tired so that I'd plunge into the dream world while awake, and it was a trip.
|
Everything looked the same, the only difference was that it all appeared more lucid and dreamy and a bit dark, I could see loads of shadow people of all sizes moving around like it was a concert filled with people, and their was so much speaking that I couldn't make out anything that I had heard - as if it were a hundred people speaking at the same time about different things.
A while back I got to see a "female shaped" shadow in the room where my mom died in, and this thing moved in a very terrifying way.
|
I seen this while I was approaching my house, I saw a female shadow holding the blinds back - peaking out of the window from the room my mother died in - and when I noticed it looking at me... Immediately it moved out of sight leaving only the blinds moving as if something were just standing there and moved out of the way.
I don't deny that there are also beings of light because I have seen one only once my entire life, it looks just like the shadow of a person except that it is all light - in three dimensional form - not (2.D.).
Also...
I had a lucid dream one night where this shadow orb was trying to paralyze me with fear but it couldn't because I did this thing where I flexed an energy of resistance throughout my body and broke loose from its vampiric grasp. Wherever it went the lights would fail, and all I had to do was resist this shadow - (which I did twice) - and it left me alone.
If you're undergoing what seems to be a form of paralysis from a spirit, all you have to do is resist.
You can do what I did, flex an energy throughout your body for as long as you need in order to move again.
Here is the energy that I used to flex throughout my body to combat all forms of paralysis that I have encountered:
1.) Close your eyes and visualize a finger pointing at the back of your neck and feel its presence as though it is half a centimeter away from touching you.
2.) Pay attention to how your neck feels, notice any ticklish glow or strange sensation.
3.) If you feel the phantom sensation, hold onto it for as long as you can until it disappears.
4.) Try to invoke that feeling without visualizing a finger pointing at the back of your neck.
5.) If you successfully manifest that feeling, try bringing it down your spine slowly and then hold that feeling at the base of your spine, then bring it back up.
6.) Next try to invoke that feeling into your arms and legs, stomach and head.
7.) If successful, then you're ready to fight spirits that try to hold you down through fear via paralysis.
Trust me it works, just follow this small tutorial - and you'll be fine.
I use this method to fight off sleep paralysis instead of trying to wiggle my fingers or toes or lips and it works.
Like I said it works even in your dreams and even when you're having an out of body experience.
I don't know why it works but it does, I guess because it induces a physiological response by increasing the heart rate and blood flow.
This isn't the only way, so don't worry, I'm sure someone else will also share something that works. ~
B.T.W. - After you wake up and are still a bit frightened, watch some comedy or anything that will help you feel better. Purify your room with sage or w/e - keep a light on, eat some candy or your favorite food. Place a spirit trap on your ceiling or on the floor - Pray over it to give it the intention of sending spirits back from where they came. Then get intoxicated only if you're a drinker or smoker and enjoy yourself - which I don't recommend if you're against drug usage.
I really hope you realize the power you have over spirits.
It took me a while for me to realize such.
Smile for us and banish any fear you have. ~
