Have you ever come across a photograph or image that made you do a double-take—or even a triple-take—to figure out what you’re actually seeing?
These kinds of pictures often resemble optical illusions, tricking our eyes and minds. They might have been snapped at just the right moment or deliberately framed to create this effect. Regardless of how it was achieved, these images are effective at looking like something entirely different from what they really are.
The concept of pareidolia encompasses a wide range of experiences. It’s a psychological effect where individuals perceive vague images or sounds as something different than what appears.
