That's why it's so startling to sometimes see them in pictures like this. The human brain seems to be wired to recognize faces. It's very common to see what looks like a face in jagged rocks (like this photo), grass, dirt, water, clouds, flames, clouds of dust, visible gas-even a pile of crumpled clothing on the couch. The phenomenon of seeing a familiar shape or form in random combinations of shadows and light is known as pareidolia or matrixing, and the thing itself is called a simulacrum. What is the motive of the photographer's response when it is quite obvious that the photo has captured the camera's strap? There's some psychology here, I think, that demonstrates how much people want to possess a photo that shows something paranormal-even to the extent of denying the obvious cause. When it's pointed out that the anomaly is likely a camera strap, some people will outright deny their camera doesn't have a strap. You can plainly see the loop of the strap and its braided texture. This often happens when the camera is titled to the side to take a portrait-oriented picture, like this one. Many people see this strange formation in their photos and wonder if it's some kind of energy vortex or long-dead great-grandma materializing to say "happy birthday." A close look at this "vortex" will make it quite evident that this anomaly is merely the strap that is attached to the camera which has fallen in front of the lens. By understanding the various photo phenomena that can be mistaken for ghosts and acknowledging the role of pareidolia in our perceptions, we can avoid being misled by false evidence and continue to explore the mysteries of the supernatural with a healthy dose of skepticism and curiosity.This is a very common mistake. Many of these common photo phenomena can be easily explained, and it is always important to rule out natural or man-made causes before jumping to supernatural conclusions. In conclusion, while the possibility of encountering paranormal activity is still a fascinating and thrilling prospect, it is important to approach any photographic evidence of supernatural activity with a critical eye. By understanding and recognizing the role of pareidolia in our perceptions, we can more accurately evaluate photographic evidence and make informed conclusions about the existence of paranormal activity. Without proper analysis and investigation, it is easy to mistake random patterns or anomalies for evidence of ghosts or spirits. However, it is essential to be mindful of this tendency when examining photographic evidence of supernatural activity. It is important to note that pareidolia is a normal and natural phenomenon that affects everyone to some degree. In these situations, the human brain will sometimes “see” a face or figure that is not actually present, leading people to believe that they have captured evidence of a ghostly entity. This is especially true when the photo is taken in low light conditions or is of poor quality. When people see what they perceive to be a human face or figure in a photograph, their brain naturally attempts to fill in the gaps and make sense of the image.
Pareidolia can play a significant role in why people might believe that they have captured photographic evidence of spirits. This phenomenon can sometimes explain why people might see or interpret ghostly images in photos or other visual stimuli, even if there is no supernatural activity present.
This can create ghostly, transparent images that appear to be layered on top of each other.įinally, pareidolia is a psychological phenomenon where the human brain perceives familiar patterns or shapes, such as human faces or animals, in random or vague stimuli, such as clouds, shadows, or even in photographic anomalies.
These can appear as smudges or shapes that can be misinterpreted as ghostly apparitions or energies.ĭouble exposure is another common phenomenon where two or more images are accidentally superimposed on top of each other in a single photo. Sometimes, the presence of the camera strap or the photographer’s finger in the frame can accidentally ruin a photo. They can also reflect light and appear as glowing orbs, adding to the illusion of ghostly activity. Insects such as moths, flies, and mosquitoes can fly close to the camera lens and appear as blurry, streaky shapes in the photo. This effect can easily be mistaken for supernatural activity. In low light conditions, dust particles in the air can be captured by the camera and appear as small, fuzzy orbs in the photo.
