Faces in Places: 30 Startling Instances of Pareidolia

They are everywhere! Looking at me! All those tiny faces! Every day, Everywhere I go I can see them - Watching, following , judging me. They are hidden in the food I eat, In the doors I open, Even in the trees. Every household appliance is looking at me, my oven, my alarm clock, my blender - each of them is silently watching me, some are smiling, some are crying, some are mad. Am I going crazy? Why is my washing machine making that face? why is that mailbox silently judging me? why is the whole world looking at me?

It's ok, don't worry, they can't hurt you. can they? They are just faces. right? It's just your imagination running wild. It's just your brain's natural tendency to find patterns everywhere you look. It's just the primordial prey mentality of lookin for hidden faces around you so that you will be able to react to any predator faster, right?… Right!?
