Enigma Of The Chime Hours And People Who Can See Beyond The Visible Realm
Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - According to some fascinating ancient beliefs, individuals born during specific times known as chime hours are thought to possess extraordinary abilities, like seeing beyond the visible realm.
These captivating tales of chime hours span many European countries and are filled with myths about these uniquely gifted people who inspire both awe and intrigue. The exact timing of chime hours remains a mystery.
Charles Dickens once wrote that midnight is the only true chime hour—a belief widely held in parts of England but not universally accepted. In East England and Somerset, for instance, it's said that chime hours occur three times a day—at eight PM, midnight, and four AM—linked to the enchanting sound of church bells during monastic prayers.
The legends of chime hours extend far beyond the United Kingdom. In Denmark, Ireland, Scotland, and China for example people share strange stories about mysterious individuals supposedly born with remarkable gifts during these magical moments. In Scotland specifically, it's believed that those born under the spell of chime hours have second sight and can foresee another person's death long before it happens. or predict significant events that may alter the course of history.
“Chime people” are often revered and sometimes feared, as their insights are seen as both a blessing and a burden.
Whether seen as gifted seers or mystical intermediaries, those born during chime hours continue to intrigue us today, reflecting on the mysteries beyond our grasp of reality.
