Seeing Faces in Objects


Star01

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

I'm a newie to this forum after spending time searching the net for answers...

I came across this great site and after reading up on some of the discussions posted thought I'd give it a try and see what answers I received to my query???

It's about my dad who I have always known as being particularly spirtual but he is also very private about his experiences also.

He has had many different ghostly encounters over the years and I must admit, I was abit of a sceptic before I actually had afew experiences of my own.

I'm not saying that I am psychic or anything like that but I have definately become a firm believer when it comes to spirits etc.

My dad not only has had ghostly experiences but he can also see auras, has visions and can pick up on vibes etc.

He recently told me of another quirk so to speak he says he has had every since he was a small boy. He can see faces in objects. If he is driving he may see a face on the side of a car door or in a tree stump etc. I know this sounds silly and I'm sure if you stare at an object hard enough you may be able to start to visualise a face of some sort in it. Most of the info on the net was of people seeing a face in a bowl of spaghetti but this experience is different.

He pointed out a photograph of my grandmother who has passed away and its of her sitting on her front veranda with her dog. He told me to look closely at the photo and tell him what I saw - nothing... He described a face behind my grandmother which he told me about in great detail and even pointed out where the facial features were in the photo.

I could vaguely see it but not in as much detail after he pointed it out to me.

I guess I'm asking anyone if they have experienced anything like this before and more than anything I am wondering what all this may mean?

I wonder if these spirits are trying to communicate with him and why seeing just the face is important?

I'm very curious and would love to tell my dad anything that I may learn for any of you ( if you reply of course )

It's quite hard for me to explain all this without sounding slighly silly and most probably some of you may also think that I believe just because he's my dad.. not true because even my mum doesn't!!!!

Would love to hear from anyone - look forward to any feedback,

Thanks

Your dad is very gifted. It is possible to see faces in orbs, photographs, in and on other objects. He probably sees what we don't even if we happened to see the same thing! He's very fortunate to have such a gift. I believe he is psychic, he is a sensitive and he is a seer. I can't say why seeing the face is so important, but I know that it is important. Look at the people who use the paramantiums- dark room with mirrors to see/conjure up spirits of loved ones to appear in the mirrors for them. They want to see them. We connect with the face as opposed to the arm, the torso, etcetera. The eyes are the light to the soul, so to speak. I'd say support your dad right where he is. Believe him and even challenge him. See if he can help you and your mom with his gift(s). See if there is any way that he can help others as well. I know this all sounds so lame, but I believe it's sound. =O)

I don't see faces(or other things) in every single kind of object. So I do not think my situation is identical to this thread's author. I only see them in wooden objects(with patterns on them), ornamental rugs, and clouds(well, everyone does^^). And the "things" I see are not the same face and they're not even always faces.

But there is one object in particular that immediately came to my mind when I read the ambiguous title of this thread. And that's the wooden bathroom door in my house. On the inside of the bathroom, I always see this strange zombie-like, skeletal humanoid figure in the very center of the door; complete with eyes(sometimes it looks like it has three), a nose, a wavy-cartoonish kind of mouth, arms, legs, and an anorexic body.

Sometimes I concentrate on it for so long that I can't even use the bathroom. And I've only began to see this "thing" since 2007 or 2008. What makes it seem even stranger is that my mom had a dream about a green, skeletal creature approaching her while she was in the bathroom...some years before I began seeing that disturbing figure on that door. Yeah, my mother has had countless experiences of the mystical.

Anyways, every time I describe how I see this thing on the bathroom door to my therapist she treats it as if I were hallucinating....but if that "image" is really a hallucination, why is it that my mother can see the exact same thing!? She told me she has seen it ever since she moved here in this house. And my second oldest brother can see "it" too. So I know its no hallucination. I get the feeling that its more related to a psychological phenomena known as "pareidolia." Those of you who may not be familiar with this term can read up about it right here:Pareidola

I believe this term has already been mentioned in this post some years ago. I cannot understand why even my psychologist would dub this experience as a "hallucination" when other people(besides myself) have seen this too.In my situation I don't see it as anything being "special," "spiritual," "magical," or whatever else you want to call it in a supernatural sense. I just think its very very bizarre. :unsure2:

That is very intriguing to say the least. I have been noticing faces in the design in tile, in paintings and in water stains of the like.

pareidolia

A psychological phenomenon involving a stimulus (an image or a sound) wherein the mind perceives a familiar pattern of something where none actually exists.

thread-necromancy

The act of posting in a thread on an Internet forum, that is already considered dead or/and out of discussion.

Well I was just curios about this topic and yes the last time this was posted on was a little under 6 years ago I know.

I know, it's cool.  My post wasn't to antagonize, but just to point out that you're raising the dead.  Don't go digging up bodies, you just might find a zombie or two.
