Pareidolia is defined as “the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern.”
In other words…you’re seeing things!
But don’t get alarmed, we all do it sometimes. Like when you see faces or animals in clouds, or on buildings, or on cracked sidewalks. Or maybe even in your food or your coffee.
Are you ready to see some really good examples of pareidolia?
Let’s take a look!
