The things that look like faces, however they are not actually faces thread
< on 5/12/2012 2:19 PM >

This is something I have a photo fetish for and I'm willing to bet everyone has a few. They're normally most common for industrial locations, but paint and sinks have a tendency for this kind of thing too.

Apparently, according to something I've heard, we subconsciously scan for faces in all the things we see. Something about deep psychology, and that's why we swear we see it around every few corners.

I'll get the ball rolling...

Made me google.

I find this a fascinating topic. I have a very strong tendency (especially while driving) to perceive an object in the distance as a pedestrian. I had a distant relative kill a man to who stepped out in front of his car, perhaps this influenced me.

Kinda, sorta semi-related:

Lens flare + stuff on the floor of an old storm cellar = GHoST HuNTeRs storming your FB account and asking about paranormal activities in the area
