30 Times People Experienced Pareidolia And Just Had To Share It Online
No matter how good our vision might be, neither of us are safe from an occasional accidental optical illusion. You know, like when you mistake a shadow of a tree for a silhouette of a man and start running for no reason. There’s even a name for this phenomenon – pareidolia – and it’s actually pretty fascinating.
People who experienced pareidolia in real life are sharing pictures online, and they’re both interesting and a little creepy, especially if you’re not expecting it. From ice hands to Godzilla clouds, check out some great examples of pareidolia in the gallery below! And if you want more, see our previous posts here and here!
