Pure lunacy...
I was always told that if you dug a hole you could never get
all the dirt to fit back in, EXCEPT if you did it in moonlight.
Of course the same people that told me that said that the way to remove warts was to rub them with a smooth stone until they bled then wrap the stone up in gift wrap and leave it at a cross roads (in the moonlight naturally)
when someone picked it up and unwrapped it, your warts would disappear.
Having dug many holes, some in moonlight, I can vouch for that one, the other ......no.
Are these people making moonshine, or are they just moonlighting?
