Years ago people used to believe that if a person went out walking at night when there was a clear moon, they could get struck by the moon and become mentally ill. We use that word "lunatic" today to describe someone who is mad, but it does not mean that we believe madness is caused by the moon.
Miaka ya zamani watu waliamini kwamba mtu akitoka nje wakati wa usiku nuru ya mbalamwezi ikiwa inang’aa, wanaweza kupigwa na mwezi na kupata ugonjwa wa akili.Tunatumia neno hilo 'kupigwa na mwezi’ siku hizi ni kusema mtu aliye na wazimu, lakini haina maana kwamba tunaamini wazimu unasababishwa na mwezi.
