The full moon has long been linked to unusual behavior—restlessness, emotional swings, even spikes in crime or accidents. These ideas appear across cultures and have persisted for centuries, often reinforced by personal anecdotes. When something odd happens during a full moon, it tends to stand out and feel meaningful.

What they often find is more nuanced: while the full moon can influence certain natural processes, its effect on human behavior is far less clear than popular belief suggests.
