It’s a scientific fact that the moon affects oceans’ tides. Folklore and the paranormal recognized the moon’s influence on humans, while traditional scientists denied this, although the human body is nearly 80% water. The relationship between moon phases and human behavior is intriguing.

Moon, Folklore, Law and Mainstream Science

Hollywood lore is that Lon Chaney, Jr., The Wolf Man, turned into a wolf when the moon was full, the basis for the belief that people become werewolves during this phase – a belief that isn't a part of the traditional werewolf legend.

Eighteenth century English jurist Sir William Blackstone wrote that a “lunatic” was one who lost his reason, but had lucidity depending on the moon’s phases. Charles Hyde, in 19th century England, used the defense that the moon turned him into a lunatic during his murder trial.
