Darker Side of The Moon - Contributed by Cynthia

Hi Ashraf,

Remember we were talking about altitude of an English romance on a moonlit nite. I agree the full moon is breathtaking to look at in the blackness of the nighttime sky, but this beautiful orb has a disturbing side. I did a silly bit of reasearch and was going through few medical journals about its darker side.

I invite you to come and take a journey with me, and let's explore,

More crimes are committed.

...[and during the full moon]...
the patients began screaming and wailing, as if they were being tormented, waving their arms wildly through the iron bars that covered the windows,

It is truly a wonder to behold!
