Does a Full Moon Really Make People Act Crazy? Lauren got an unexpected wake-up call at 1 a.m. when she heard people in the park across from her house literally howling at the full moon.

From unusual customers to chaotic shifts and bizarre behavior, is it just a coincidence... or is there really something about a full moon that brings out people's strange side?
