Crazy stuff always seems to happen on a full moon. Yall think there's some sort of evolutionary reason for this or is it all baloney?
You know how the moon's pull causes the tides?
You know how the human body is mostly water?
You know how humans are not nocturnal by nature, subject to hallucinations at night .... fearing things unseen in the shadows for 99.9% of our evolutionary existence?
You know how the moon, when full, casts odd night shadows in the forest, woods, jungles ... in graveyards?
Combine all of that together and take into consideration the human psyche.
From there you'll find the origin of the full moon myth.
Oh, and throw in the fact that certain animals are also influenced by a full moon.

I worked on a lock down psych unit and in an ER for years. In my experience, the moon doesn't mean shite. Sometimes full moons were bad, sometimes they weren't. There were plenty of non full moon nights that were as wild as any full moon nights.
The full moon myth was probably more relevant before modern electricity. People would be more active on those nights because they could better see what they were doing

Say what you will but I worked at a state prison and like clock work when there was a full moon, we had many more fights and other problems.

Definitely fact.
My wife is bipolar and a couple of years ago she started researching the moon's effect on people. She went back through her journals and every single manic episode she's had since the BP manifested back in 1994 was during a full moon.
She hasn't had an episode in 11 years due to figuring out what she needs from an exercise/sleep/meds combination, but each full moon we both get a little more serious about making sure she's following her routine.
