Silly myth that has existed for thousands of years. But there's really no difference between a full moon and a new moon, other than the amount of light reflected.

Dentally speaking, I have found this strange phenomenon to be mostly true.

I know some of those in the Child Abuse and Neglect investigative field dread the nights of a full moon for that reason.
Isn't the origin of lunatic from luna?

Scientifically speaking, this phenomenon is a myth. But real world experience says different.

There are subtle emotional cues that weather and environment provide. When I step outside on a night that is brightly lit by the moon, I feel mildly energized by it. Maybe this effect is magnified by how dumb a person is.

Article from the National Center for Biology Information. Full details on website:
LINK The incidence of crimes reported to three police stations in different towns (one rural, one urban, one industrial) was studied to see if it varied with the day of the lunar cycle. The period of the study covered 1978-82. The incidence of crimes committed on full moon days was much higher than on all other days, new moon days, and seventh days after the full moon and new moon. A small peak in the incidence of crimes was observed on new moon days, but this was not significant when compared with crimes committed on other days. The incidence of crimes on equinox and solstice days did not differ significantly from those on other days, suggesting that the sun probably does not influence the incidence of crime. The increased incidence of crimes on full moon days may be due to "human tidal waves" caused by the gravitational pull of the moon. |

I believe it. It's true. Along with changes in behavior and barometer changes.
Posted this on a weather forum. Quote:

I started listening to Slayer at an early age in an effort to strengthen my metal ability.
