Pareidolia Collection
A very
extensive collection of Pareidolia data
has been collected by a guy calling himself The Folklorist. Pareidolia, in case you don't remember this word from high-school english class, is the phenomenon of seeing meaningful images in random patterns. Examples would include seeing the
number 666 on the wall of the Alamo
, seeing the figure of the
Virgin Mary in the window of a Boston hospital
, or seeing the
head of an Indian chief in your door
.
