Can YOU see ā€˜a face’?

Years ago I remember my late mum telling me she could ā€˜see faces’ in many strange places. Making them out apparently from the patterns of fabrics etc. Well this morning I dumped my pyjamas on the bathroom floor and got into the shower. As I dried myself off I looked across - and immediately made out this ā€˜face’. It was so clear to me! I know what she meant know.

Can you see it too? Do you subscribe to this unusual phenomena occasionally?

I can see a young hippo with its horn just beginning to grow

Yes, I also sometimes notice unusual shapes. This phenomenon is called the psychological effect of paredolia, where our brain tends to find familiar images in abstract or random forms. Am I signing up for this phenomenon? In a sense, yes. I think this is an interesting illustration of how our brain interprets the world around us and searches for meaning and order even in random or unstructured data.

I see a contorted, Picasso type of face. I often see faces in things.

That's a good description of what I see, too.

I have clicked on it and peered at it three times and seen a different face each time.

I can see at least five caricature faces. Stretch your minds ladies!

Yes, I can see it but I see faces everywhere. Husband says I have Paradoilia (not sure of the spelling). Yesterday he showed me a photo and I saw a face in the background and no one could see it!

Hippos don't have horns Juliet
You are definitely seeing things!🤣

Oh yes grammaretto, no wonder his horn hadn’t grown much!! I had of course meant rhino. 🄓

I can see a lamb looking backwards.

Sheian62 Tue 09-Apr-24 03:49:31

Yes. I have seen this since my earliest memory as a child in all kinds of weird inanimate things, even knots of wood once in a shed, scaring me so much, it was painted over. blush

Funny isn’t it how it can be just so clear to some of us yet not others! This face jumped out to me immediately when I looked across!

I can see a face - it looks like a man with a moustache!

I see ET!

I can see the face and the native Americans in the rocks. I also see a little devil with wings in the rocks.

All this reminds me of the face of Jesus on a potato and the shroud of Clatterford in Jam and Jerusalem.

To be fair I don't see a face either- but I do in tiles and other patterns.

It is just a pile of clothes anyway!

We are hard wired to recognise the human face when given random patterns. It is down to evolution as social beings, but also to warn us of danger.

Makes me think of the film Castway- if you don't have a real face to see we will invent them. It's all perfectly normal.

I still cant see anything.

I have not evolved, and I dont see danger!

I am not creative at all. Perhaps that is why I just see a pile of clothes.

I wonder if these answers could be analysed, like "they" used to do with the ink splots?

MadeInYorkshire Mon 08-Apr-24 17:25:05

Yes, someone laughing wearing a sort of frilly hat looking to the left!

What that couple is doing is disgusting at their age. Absolutely pornographic!

And in someone else's pyjamas, too!!!
What a liberty! grin

mrshat Mon 08-Apr-24 16:23:13

Yep! Definitely a face!

Oh yes. Top right hand side clump definitely shows a face.

Marleygirl Mon 08-Apr-24 15:44:57

I can see a face of a very sad lady!
