Sometimes your own senses play tricks on you. If you discover faces and other things in everyday objects everywhere, you don’t have to go to the nearest psychiatrist right away. The phenomenon is called “pareidolia” and is not only completely normal, but also quite entertaining, as you can see in the following pictures.

Our brain apparently drives its own film and lets us discover similarities everywhere. Sometimes it goes so far that we can no longer believe our own eyes. On the other hand, life would be pretty boring without optical illusions, don’t you think?
