The spookiness of harvest moon


 Last night was during the full moon called "Harvest Moon". It looks an eerie orange colour and happens in early Autumn, either in September or early October, depending on when it occurs in each year. This is the full moon closest to the Autumn equinox. 

Some creepy events have happened during that certain moon phase. It seems the Harvest Moon is low hanging and lingers in the sky more than other full moons. It's been associated with horror films and the supernatural. Creepy and strange occurrences have been mentioned happening during the Harvest Moon phase, as mentioned by many. Hospitals have been experiencing chaos and weirdness during a full harvest moon night. Nurses and midwives said there are more patients being admitted during full moon times but odd things during a harvest moon, such as distress and faulty electric equipment. The Harvest Moon was also called a "Blood Moon" during the Middle Ages in Britain. 

In China, people celebrate the Harvest Moon during a festival and eating delicious mooncakes. In ancient Greece, pigs were sacrificed to goddess Demeter during the Harvest Moon. The phase of this moon happens during spider season. It would be a perfect time to place lemons, conkers and peppermint around the house because it puts off spiders from going near.
