The moon  effects on the Earth constantly,and when it is full this effect becomes stronger and impacts on some peoples health or makes them depressed. So I agree with Jeff that  everything is explainable. 


But I remember in childhood we liked to get together with friends to tell and to listen different spooky stories about ghosts, werewolves and vampires. It seemed exiting to us to think that  such evil creatures could really exist.  


Even now i like to read Stephen Kings novels sometimes, but only if they are not too much terrifying.

I’m not a superstitious girl, and i always link the full moon image to romantic pairs…


Last weekend I’ve watched the movie “Red hiding hood” (in a new version) with the actress Amanda Seyfried, and the movie plot is about a man who turn into werewolves at midnight when there is full moon. it is a really interesting and good thriller… I recomend you to watch it… pretty good!

I’m really sceptic about that. They are probably stories that were told many times and suddently has become truth for some people. I don’t find full moons spooky. On the contrary, I find it very romantic. ;)

I’ve never stopped to think about it. Coming to think of it now, there may be some element of truth about it. But not so much as to make people go nuts.
