Strange claims
Full moon myths
Insanity: full moons have been linked, without evidence, to psychotic behaviour since ancient times – the words lunacy and lunatic derive from Luna, Roman goddess of the moon.
Fertility: again, an ancient myth based on the coincidence that a full moon and menstrual cycle each occur monthly.
Insomnia: various studies have suggested a link, but their results are not robust.
Werewolves:
the transformation from man to wolf is, according to myth, triggered by the full moon.
