Pareidolia Pictures

Welcome to the pareidolia pictures page. If you've read the information on the main pareidolia page you'll know that pareidolia is the perception of an ambiguous and random stimulus as significant.

This enduring human tendency is essentially an illusion or misperception, whereby something distinctly recognizable, such as a face, is seen in all kinds of places. The aim of this page is to showcase the best examples of this.

Please let me know which picture is your favorite via the facebook comments box at the bottom of the page.

(A huge thanks to whoever originally posted these great pictures online.)
