PAREIDOLIA: The phenomenon of seeing faces or figures in nature. For example, I see a fat, nesting chicken in this spectacular lump of ice.
The term itself originates from the Greek words “para” (“instead of”) and “eidolon” (“shape”).
RELATED WORD:
Apophenia: “Seeing patterns in random data” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia)
What do you see when you look at this photograph?
Looks like a fox with a very small face. Sort an an anime character
Posting on my Facebook Page, Yvette said she sees a rabbit in the top left corner. Fun to see what others see – at first the chicken was so obvious.
