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.....

I love full moons, not because it gives me the urge to run naked around the mountain, but because I actually can, as it's normally sooo bright at night Smile

Um, I'll get my coat Surprised

....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 !!

Haarp:(

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.

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)
