What is in the picture?

[trn897]

Not aibu but this has been bugging me for over a year!

Without giving any context, I was wondering what people see (if anything) in the yellow circle.

I will come back and give context but just curious what people think it is or might be?

First pictrue is the original, Second has been lightened to see if it makes it any clearer.

A girl

But you know our brains are hardwired to see faces?

Without zooming a child in a black hoodie or coat. When I zoom in it looks like a youngish blond bloke- with a mo.

Definitely a person. Was going to say a small girl but looks older in the lightened version.

A man in a hood

Looks like a doll or a face mask to me.

Looks like a person

An old man or woman in a hood with a curly fringe.

Someone with a hood up, possibly a light stripe on the sleeve of the jacket/jumper.....

An old lady.

Man with a moustache, hood up with a curly fringe sticking out .

Out of context (as the photo is) it looks like a face with a massive forehead.

But within context it could be anything really.

Well it looks like a cartoon face to me. It doesn't look real. But it could just be a blob too.

Face beneath a hood although features seem disproportionate?

Oddly clasped hands?

Looks like Flat Eric in a wig and a hoodie with a bit of lippy on.

As you've given the instruction to see something people are now looking for something. It obviously has to be something that is describable so their brains are specifically looking for that. The most common thing to find in these images is a face so that's what people will "see".

A cat

Creepy face on a photo that you think is a ghost

Did you ever watch the film Hannibal - sequel to Silence of the Lambs?
It looks like Mason Verger

OP can you come back please as I’m freaked out now 🤣

A boy with blonde curly hair wearing a dark hoody with the hood partly up and a rucksack on his back

Weird shadows our brain tries to trick us is a face because that's what it's hard wired to do. I can 'see' faces in wallpaper, curtains, trees etc because the brain fights to assimilate patterns into something recognisable - a face.

Looks like a bit of a hairy rock musician.

I posted this as a light hearted thing but now I'm freaking out a little!

Context: My mum and her brother were at a hotel, they went outside for a smoke and when they got home 'this' was next to my mum in a dark doorway. We have been trying to figure out what it is ever since.

I know its 'nothing' but still doesn't stop us wondering!
