Has anyone ever been affected by the cycle of the moon? In particular the full moon. Has it affected someone you know? Or does it affect any of your pets? If so how? I wish to know as it does on general affect me.

It seems lake monsters get affected as well. Apparently most lake Champlain sightings occur within 5 days of a new moon.
Strange indeed.....

....Well if you ask me I think it adversely affected the Halloween spirit - My Halloween went something like this....
It was seven o'clock and I arrived home from work brandishing a bumper pack of party size Twix and a giant bag of apples in expectation of the 'trick or treaters' who would be knocking at my door later on in the evening... Well, We made our jack o lantern and dutifully put it in the front window, had our dinner of (homegrown) pumpkin & corriander soup followed by pumpkin pie... and by 8pm no 'trick or treaters' had arrived .... We then settled down to watch something (not very) scary on the telly, and an hour later still no 'trick or treaters' and this theme continued throughout the evening until we went to bed at about 11 o' clock !
I was soooo disappointed !!! I just remember being a kid 'trick or treating' and thinking that when I grew up I'd always give something nice to the 'trick or treaters' , and never tell them to 'bugger off' or refuse to answer the door !!
... and now I get my chance ... no body came !! I blame it on the full moon !!

A few posters have said that there wasn't many out last night. If I counted correctly we had 11 (1 was a neighbours 2 year old kid and 2 were the kids of my folks friends). We live in a area that is great for kids, there is loads of them about and to have only 11 was strange. Five of them came to the door all at once. Normally I would of expected triple the number at least.

We didn't get any trick or treaters, despite the fact that there's loads of kids in our neighbourhood. I think they're scared of the two bikes though!
Anyway, my grandfather was a psychiatric nurse for 30 odd years, and he said it was well known that the patients became more restless and violent around a full moon. The nurses knew to keep a watchful eye out.
Mind you, his hospital was haunted as well, which probably didn't help.

I'm not sure about the UK, but I know the trick-or-treaters here in the US were down significantly due to general fear from the terrorist activity...there were also rumors going around about a new attack to occur on Halloween. Luckily we know now that it was, of course, only a rumor.

I know how you feel, I like in an apartment building and we never get trick-or-treaters. I know its not just because of the anthrax scare, we just never get any.HAARP said:I was soooo disappointed !!!

Usually, when it's full moon, I get insomania and CANNOT sleep until 2 or something, waking up again a few hours before I get up.
Another note I guess is the fact that around full moon time, or maybe due to insomania, that sometimes I go to sleep on the floor. (no real reason - just felt like it)

Similar thing with me every full moon. I normally wake between 0300 and 0400 and am wide awake for at least three hours. I think I've read somewhere that there are more than the average number of violent incidents in prisons around the time of the full moon - wonder if this has something to do with disturbed sleep patterns.Cryptolizard said:

When I worked in one of the old "long stay hospitals", there always seemed to be more aggresive &/or bizzare behaviour at the time of the full moon.
Nowdays, the full moon & links with behaviour is disputed, at least within some of the NHS, but at the time, we would all get diaries with the phases of the moon & try & get our days off around this time!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The influence of the moon I cannot confirm but the behaiviour
of schoolkids is influenced by the wind. Almost all old teachers
say so.
Of course it may just be the old teachers who are influenced by
the wind and drive the kids berserk.
Though compared to drugs and alcohol, I suppose the effects are
fairly subtle.

Strange you should say that about high winds and child behaviour. I as long as I can remember, I have been unable to sleep properly during periods of strong to gale force wind. I either can't sleep at all or I am plagued by odd, not entirely good, dreams
I remember as a child feeling a sort of strange exhillaration at those times, and feeling moody and down when out of the wind.

I HATE the wind, it gives me earache!
One of our cats acts all silly (or should I say sillier than usual) when it's very windy, he skitters about all over the place for no apparent reason.
The sight of a full moon in a clear sky, or with a few clouds floating in front of it always gives me a strange thrill . . .

As an old sailor man, I used to like listening to a storm whistling around the eaves of the house, feeling smug because I wasn't at sea!
But here in Rynner Towers the windows tend to rattle in windy weather, which is really most annoying. One gale also blew away a rain-collecting experiment I was running to search for micro-meteorites.
(Well, around here you have to make your own fun...)

I couldn't agree more Carole, before we moved from Cornwall to London, we had a house with an attic room and a window looking on to the sky, there was no light pollution and on a clear night the milky way was laid out like a magical landscape in the sky, I could stare at it for hours.
At work we always recon that 2- 3 nights before or after full or dark moon is the prime time for nuts, tho the change of seasons also seems to stimulate irrational behavior.
Mind you some of our normal customers are fairly weird.

I have got a window like that, and it's beautiful. A clear night, the moonlight, and the owls calling to each other under the stars...
And then I turn my light out. Weird shadows, strange noises, and general scariness.:eek!!!!:

Sometimes, at night, in the winter when it is really cold and clear. We venture up on to White Horse Hill near where I live. We sit on the bank at the top of the hill fort, watch the stars and drink large amounts of black coffee wrapped in a big snuggly blanket...
Strange thing is though we are rarely the only ones and some nights there have been mad people up there flying kites with lights attached to them!

Have they gotten the white horse cleaned up after somebody spray painted on it?
I'd still like a window like that.

I used to work in an elderly mental health nursing home and we always had lots of restless disturbed clients at the time of the full moon. They would wander the corridors all night.
A lot of women find their menstrual cycle fits in with the full moon not just the 28 day cycle but the week of actual menstuation is usally the week of the full moon so maybe this explains some violent outbursts by women around the full moon. The only time this doesn't happen is when two women or a group of women are in close proximity and then their cycles tend to gradually change till they are in sync with each other. If there comes a time when they are not as close together then it seems to reset to the moon's cycle.

Strange what gravity can do...I mean, it can make an old person's ears grow so long that they will reach the floor by the time they are 437 years old...
PMS isn't the reason...
why?
BECAUSE IT ISN'T!!!!!!!
Well, I would agree with you on that one, my girlfriends, my mum, they all go scatty for a couple of days and then when we hobble in they say, "how's your leg today", and we say, "would be better if you hadn't kicked me!", and then they fly into a whole cloud of anger 'cos we complain...I don't think we can ever understand the female persona!
