Hopefully, this is in the right section.....

AT LAST, proof that we DO change with the Lunar cycle....
Unfortunately, YET AGAIN, it portrays the bad and never mentions the good! WHY is it that the NASTY people are always like that?

Anyway.... Research carried out by a Sussex (South of England) Police Department has shown a correlation with certain crimes and Full Moons!

It's a short article, but very interesting. You can read more HERE

and there is also a short video too.
It's 90seconds long, and has some good info!

you can view it HERE

Perhaps a Premium member would be kind enough to embed the video for us in a post herein? Pretty please?

I know their has been a lot of research on this topic all over the world and it all comes out the same their is an increase in crimes during full moons, why i dont know...

Working as a registration Clerk in the emergency room. I know that we all dread to see a full moon. I know there are probably some good things about it. However in my day to day life, the bad is more what I experience from it. People are just so different during the full moon. I don't know, maybe some can't handle the affects it has on them, so it ends up turning negative. Maybe the good does out weigh the bad, but personally I never see that side of it.

If you work at night (which I did do for three months a while ago). You can tell two things.

That start of the month and when it is a full moon. The extra weird people come out at those times (I mean a few that are weird for this place even).

So it is no shocker that crime would go up a little on a full moon. Not that it is the true weird doing it but as a different effect on people.

Since the full moon is rising the liquid in the body, it also increase the hormons which influence the mind the taughs and then the actions, tjat ether result in doing good or doing wrongs, the thing is that the wrongs leaves more trace then the good, as poeple are easier to remember and to influence by it.

i have no idea about this but the information was very interesting i will see what i can find and will try to help in anyway i can.

Hmmmm, interesting information, however, I don't think the Lunar cycle has anything to do with it though. We are all in control of our own actions.

Whilst i agree, i also believe that the power of the moon exacerbates the moods in which we are, and has an effect on our actions.

For reasons unknown to me, I go through a change of demeanor during the full moon.

For the three days surrounding the full moon, I become unbelievably lustful, and my sexual appetite increases.

Does that make me some kind of lycanthrope?

same for me especally for the red moon when i make eye contact its like a change occers and its like i was born chock Full of energy and i feal the hunger

perhaps I'm being unduly dimwitted, but which hunger are you speaking of, Derick?

the hunger for blood, i get energized with adrenlin for a hunt

Y'see, I don't get that way, per sé. I do get the urge to hunt, but not for blood. For me, I prowl for a sexual partner.

Like I said, I become very lustful.

sounds great,... but ya thats what the moon dose to me

gods forbid we should ever cross paths on a full moon ROFL!

If a lunar cycle can effect the ebb and flow of the tides, can it's magnetism also have an effect on other qualities of nature? I don't subscribe to the "full moon bad" theory. I just believe there is definitely a connection. (Bloody hell, I mean how old is the word lunatic?? Think they pulled that one out the clear blue? I never heard of a solartic--have you?)

very good point there, that would be one hell of a night

It would bring new meaning to the phrase "Love and War", that's for damned sure!

with my people ALL woman walk and are the lodge of the moon, because of there cycles each month, and i believe that some men can cross from the lodge they walk in ..... moon lodge because of the male;female balance allowed in us all, be well

I don't know about crime, but hazards in general are at a rise here, due to the doubler full moon. So far 16 fatalities in the past week and a half.

Whilst I was aware that lunar activities had a lot to do with moods, and the such I have not really looked at what I am like, from now on I am going to keep a close eye on my moods to see how it affects me.

So does the lustful way the full moon affects me make me a kind of lycanthrope? Or am I just a lunatic?

LOL ♥

I do believe the lunar path can manipulate amortals sub concious. like it effects the tides mortals can be surcumbed to the pull and act strange

I didn't find this information to be inaccurate. I actually think that any step, not matter how it is related to the paranormal, is one step closer to knowledge that will help us understand ourselves better.

i think the moon affects even ppl who arent bad natured or physchopaths. i dont know what was wrong with tuesday but everyone was strange. the energy around was strange.

Anyone who works with the public for a period of time can tell you that people act strangely during a full moon. Not necessarily bad, though that's the view of the article. Perhaps they will continue the research and discover why. Aren't car accidents also on the rise during that time?

I wonder if there would be any link between the closeness of the moon and the pull of the gravity to the way people act. Maybe the off balance drives people to think and act differently.

" the moon made me do it", "the devil made me do it", the booze made me do it"
these are all pathetic excuses made by pathetic losers who just can't accept the responsibility for their own actions.

does everyone suddenly go mad during a full moon? or is it just the LUNAtics?

Yes WynterMourn, Traffic accidents, Emergency room visits, crime, psychiatric hospital admissions and just plain weirdness is rampant during the full moon.

There have been MANY studies that show the correlation between a full moon and abnormal behaviours.

The reason the negative is so often focused on, I believe, is that John Q. Public doesn't really care is some folks senses are heightend, energy transferance works better, spells are more potent. All he gives a crap about is that some nut job might rob him, crash into his car etc. The negative things that people with no control of themselves do far outweighs the positive things that only benefit the aware.

I firmly believe that the moon cycles affect us all.

i have never noticed or even thought about it, but its very interesting!

there is no physical difference between a full moon, a crescent moon, a new moon, or a half moon - the moon is still the same size and shape. it just looks different. okay, maybe there is more light reflected off a full moon than a half moon, and light reflected off the moon is polarized - but apart from that there is no difference. the moon is not further away, or nearer - it is not emanating different energy levels - the moon itself is no different no matter what the phase. it is only our perception of it that is different. it is purely psychological - nothing more.

I do remember reading some scientific research on the lunar cycle and how it seems to basically control our behaviour and it was put down to the fact like the ocean the moon creates a kind of tide of emotion and thought in us because of the amount of water that our bodies are made up of. Unfortunately I don't have the article as it was in a magazine at the time many years ago.

But I have noticed how the moon phases evoke my emotions and thoughts. Full new moons I find it impossible to sleep and I am more irritable and testy. Full old moons I can be quiet and reflective. Leading up to a new moon I will be goofy and crazy... so I have seen it in my own behaviour and those around me so I know it to be true.

lunarwolf i agree

I absolutely believe that a full moon affects human behavior. I have seen too many examples.

interesting this is not the first time I have seen proof they do these studies a lot. still find it awesome the power nature can have over us.

the moon affects us all.

my apologies, but I cannot seem to get the video from the site... but interesting information. I know personally that I get more excited and intense during a full moon, I also menstruate during a full moon. So, I do not agree with us being able to have FULL control of our own bodies.. hehe. That one thing is something I do not have control over.. but, I believe that most of that is true. Sorry to be gross, but had to point that part out to prove a point.

could it be inter-planetary magnetics? everything is affected by magnetics...just a thought...

As a stripper, i refuse to work nights of full moons due to the fucktards who decide to cause a lot of trouble. i was even bitten once while on stage (and altho i like being bit, not by strange guys on my ass while on stage...argh!!!!) i know a couple of other girls who have also had too many strange things happen on full moons to work them either. even when i ws working @ a local convenience store 3rd shift, i noticed the difference- more people trying to pull the fill up/take off and stolen checks...

I go a little nuts when it's a full moon.

All I know is it's a lot easier to see who I'm chuckin' a cat at in full moon light. Maybe it is for that same reason that most animals hunt more during a full moon.

crazycatlady: animals hunt in the full moon for the same reason mankind used to hunt in the full moon. it's easier to see. it has nothing to do with the emotional impact of the lunar cycle.

Agree with the hunting in the full moon to see, but as predators we usually hunt in the clock of night. Is this lunar cycle arepresetation of TV and movies an the effect on lycanthropes. Or is there truth to the madness. I have afriend who is in the sheriff dept. and he claims more actions against the law and people happen at a full moon. I do believe it I some times is more irritable, and sometimes find my emotions are very heightened.
