Have you ever had the feeling you are being watched? Or think you’ve seen a face in an inanimate object? Well good news, this is a fairly common thing and has even been given a name by psychologists.
Pareidolia is where the mind ‘imagines perception of a pattern or meaning where it does not actually exist’, according to the World English Dictionary.
Famous cases of Pareidolia include the notorious house that looks like Adolf Hitler in Swansea, the Face in Mars photo from 1976 and the face of Jesus appearing various forms, such as a tortilla.
Now people who have spotted faces in unusual objects have shared their photos on Twitter.
Some highlights of the images include a crashed car which appears to be smoking, a ghoulish face inside a tree and a clown in a pot of granola with yoghurt.
