Have you ever looked at an inanimate object and seen a face? And not only a face, but a face with an expression? While you might jump to conclusions – am I crazy? Am I seeing things? Why are faces following me everywhere?!
Take a deep breath. There’s a name for this phenomenon and many people experience it. It’s called pareidolia. Basically, there’s something about an object that makes your mind impose a meaning where there isn’t one. For some reason, our minds are always looking for patterns, and often find them even if there really isn’t anything there.
Do you see the below faces in random objects? Don’t worry, you’re not crazy.
