There are no statistically significant records indicating any connection between crime waves or full hospitals and the full moon, according to the National Geographic News. This misunderstanding perhaps has its source in a long line of mythology. Werewolves were said to be humans that turned into wolves during the full moon. The sophisticated culture of today perhaps modernized this myth to say that people only act like wolves during full moons, but don't actually turn into wolves. The werewolf myth has its roots in another myth; the belief that real wolves howl at the full moon but not at any other kind of moon. This particular belief, which is scientifically false, traces all the way back to the mythology of the Greek and Roman gods.
