Best Pareidolia pics I have ever seen....applies to many conspiracies on ATS...post yours!

Ok....I have read a TON of threads here that are simply cases of Pareidolia :

is a psychological phenomenon involving a stimulus (an image or a sound) which is perceived as significant.

Common examples of this are seeing images of animals or faces in clouds, the man in the moon, the moon rabbit, and hearing hidden messages on phonograph records when they are played in reverse.

Pareidolia is the visual form of apophenia, which is the perception of patterns within random data. Combined with apophenia and hierophany (manifestation of the sacred), pareidolia may have helped ancient societies organize chaos and make the world intelligible.[1][2]

I posted this in this forum because it relates to a lot of conspiracies that many have posted about.

Most of them have to do with other planets, but I wanted to highlight the best case I have ever seen simply because it seems almost impossible that it is NOT what you are seeing.

So....the first pic is the original, and I will bet that every single person that has not seen this one before will see exactly what it looks like.



It appears to be a representation of Jesus' profile, and an insanely perfect one at that.....I even struggled to see that it could be anything else. Then I looked at the second pic, where they have outlined exactly what it is:



So....I wanted to post this to show just how strong Pareidolia really is.

Please post up some examples of Pareidolia that you find exceptionally compelling.

Wow!!!

I can't even see the kid in the first unless I cover what looks like the hair on the giant face, is that Jesus?

The first picture is obviously enhanced so of course I know what I was looking at- if you had shown the second one first I wouldn't have seen the resemblance.

But I can say without proof that I have seen faces in Linoleum, in flames, in clouds...but they were not put there on purpose. The mind is a complex thing.

Ha..yeah...it still takes me a minute to pick the kid out even though I know it is there.

Huh? You think the first picture was photoshopped? It is a REALLY old picture and it is a kid sitting on his/her dad's leg....because of the tones of the pictures from back then it appears to be Jesus. Now, if that same picture were to be taken in color, I doubt Jesus would even be perceived in it.

Cool one! I wonder if fish see fish faces in coral reefs?

Maybe this one only works if you have been paying attention to current events.



I feel like this frequently on here.

Wow, that is uncanny!

a reply to: Vasa Croe

Sorry. I meant to say enhanced.

It would be nice to have a link to the pics because It took me a dozen looks and squinting to see the resemblance in the second picture but it seems more of a optical illusion than a case of Pareidolia.

Some sort of nut shells. I saved it a long long time ago.

I got human fingers from someone buried alive.

I hope there aren't any psychologists present.

Nice thread!

I see stuff while driving that appears completely different until you get closer.

This is kind of like getting drunk at a bar and your mind starts telling you "that girl's pretty hot"

Best ever nominee, if context is taken into account. See how many faces you can find in this cloud, including a full top half of the Goddess of Liberty (hint for the goddess:lower right-hand corner, a smidge to the left and facing right, mostly in white - if enlarged look for her eyes).
