Seeing human faces in objects is called face pareidolia. If you have ever noticed a face in an object, don’t be alarmed. Most other people see the same face, and it is attributed to the psychological phenomenon called pareidolia. Those with wilder imaginations may experience the sensation more frequently than lesser mortals. In the not-so-distant past, pareidolia was classified as a psychosis, but today is recognized as a normal human tendency. Pareidolia can also include sound as well, when people hear “hidden messages” in recordings when speeded up or played in reverse. It can also occur in random noises with things like a running fan or rushing water.
