According to a study conducted at  Calvary Mater Newcastle Hospital in Australia, 91 patients were admitted this year who displayed behavior similar to werewolves. A quarter of these cases happened during a full moon, which is double the other lunar phases.

“Some of these patients attacked the staff like animals, biting, spitting and scratching,” she said. The patients had to be sedated and physically restrained to protect themselves.

Miss Calver’s study, reported in the Medical Journal of Australia, said: “One might compare them with the werewolves of the past, who are said to have also appeared during the full moon.”

“Our findings support the premise that individuals with violent and acute behavioural disturbances are more likely to present to the emergency department during full moon,” she said.
