Full moon effect

Does the moon phase effect on life on earth? I understand the pagan beliefs on moon phase but is there any evidence. The moon effects the ocean tied. The human body is some 70% water. However the moon phase doesn’t change the intensity of its effect on the ocean tied. What do you think? Does the moon phase, such as a full moon, have an effect on our bodies and minds? Is there any evidence of this?

I heard that police tend to get weird people into jail more often during the full moon than other days.

Answer #3

Its a widely held superstition that full moons make people do crazy stuff. There is no actual evidence of this though.
