Alright, next topic is pareidolia. This is another misperceived piece of evidence especially in blurry or zoomed in photos. Also including some examples. Pareidolia is a type of illusion or misperception involving a vague or obscure stimulus being perceived as something clear and distinct. Common examples include seeing images of animals or faces in clouds, the man in the moon or the Moon rabbit, and hearing hidden messages on records when played in reverse. Carl Sagan hypothesized that as a survival technique, human beings are hard-wired from birth to identify the human face. This allows people to use only minimal details to recognize faces from a distance and in poor visibility but can also lead them to interpret random images or patterns of light and shade as being faces.
