Full moon brings out inner werewolf

DO YOU MEAN they FURSPLODED?! *fursplodes on you* Actually I think the process is relatively slow, I'm not aware of any documents that describe a transformation in any sort of detail (and if there were, we can easily assume that hey were grossly exaggerated). A "slow" transformation, where a witness never sees the person transform, would seem quite logical, imo. For some time, when a grisly murder was reported, being a werewolf would have been an acceptable excuse. (Of course, you would still be persecuted and possibly killed shortly after, but if you were a werewolf then you had no choice! Us... [More]

So all they gotta do is not admit anyone when there's a full moon!

Try sitting in on the night shift at your local hospital ER on a Friday or Saturday night at the full moon and you'll see exactly what they're talking about. Unless they are superhuman on PCP I cannot imagine someone very drunk doing were kind of things. You'd be amazed at what the very drunk can do if they turn violent.

I know what behavior they're talking about, I was just saying that the full moon has nothing to do with werewolves (unless you want to go with werewolves as were portrayed in media). x)

I mean to say they do not actually exist do they? apart from certain mental disorders, of course.

As someone who works in the emergency medical field, I can tell you firsthand that there IS a correlation between days/nights where a full moon is observed. A couple of years ago, I decided to hold my own personal study on the phenomenon. I tracked the number of times I had to "work" (in other words, got called to an emergency) on full moon days/nights compared to those days/nights not under a full moon. I tracked this for a period of eight months between January, 2007 to the end of August of that same year. During that span, I worked 7% more calls on full moon days/nights than on any other ni...

Of course they don't exist, but mythology never mentioned that those accused of being werewolves transformed during a full moon. That is almost exclusively a modern adaptation to the story. Murders were often blamed on supernatural things, such as werewolves, because humans were simply too good to commit such a crime. Originally, in order to become a werewolf, one usually made a pact with the devil or a deal with a witch. Such a ... [More]

seems like just another wannabe published scientist to me. Reputation destroyer. A lot of mental patients/agressive ppl identify with this mythology. They seek it out. It's not cuz the moon is full they go crazy, rather the other way around. Maybe on some level it gives them an inner excuse for being extra violent.

If this is indeed statistically valid (which I doubt) it has to be a case of people who aren't quite right in the head being convinced they are werewolves, and thereby psychosomatically acting this fantasy out.
