Been noticing this pattern for a few years now out here in rural West Virginia. Activity in my old farmhouse definitely picks up around the full moon - nothing dramatic, just the usual stuff getting louder. Objects shifting overnight, that persistent knocking from the back bedroom, the odd cold spot that moves around.
I've got a couple of Reolink cameras running 24/7 and I actually went back through my footage over several months and mapped it against the lunar calendar. The correlation isn't perfect but it's there. More anomalies captured in the three or four days around a full moon than any other time.
Now I know what the sceptics will say - confirmation bias, we notice things more when we're expecting them. Fair point. But I'm pulling this from footage I wasn't actively monitoring at the time, so I don't think that fully explains it.
A few theories I've been turning over:
Gravitational pull affecting something we don't yet understand about energy fields, Increased electromagnetic activity around lunar peaks, Simply that more light gets in and illuminates activity that was always there
Anyone else actually tracking this systematically rather than just going off memory? Would love to compare notes. And does it matter whether the activity was already established before you started noticing the lunar connection, or did it seem to start because of a full moon? Mine's been going on for about twelve years so it predates me paying attention to moon phases entirely.
Curious whether this shows up more with poltergeist cases specifically or if ghost hunters are seeing it too.
