Shakespeare's thoughts on the "Witching Hour" in Hamlet:
Tis now the very witching time of night,
When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out
Contagion to this world: now could I drink hot blood,
And do such bitter business as the day
Would quake to look on.
[Act III, sc. ii]

(it's also an oddly inspiring time of night + when our boundaries are at their weakest, psychologically speaking. Very interesting!)
