People usually keep having very unique mysterious experiences, like sometimes a person is sitting in any place, and whatever he is doing, then suddenly numbers start appearing randomly to him in any shape or pattern. As if looking on one side, their brain starts showing them any number like 22, which is actually not there, and on the very next moment, they start seeing some other random numbers, or else they start seeing abnormal patterns at some places, like look at this image below. In this image, a branch of a tree is shown, that is, a piece of the tree, so it has such a mark which is visible of course to all and it is resembling as if there is a spirit in the branch.
According to science, this perception of finding a meaningful interpretation in any object or situation has been called Pareidolia, which means to find meaning in everything. Like if you look in the sky, sometimes you will see different shapes in the clouds. So the science behind this reveals that this is just the creation of our mind, simply because our brain is very much interested in doing such things, as it keeps looking for meaning and information in everything. Like look at this image below, there is such a figure in the middle of the flower which looks like it is a skull.
If explained in other words, many times you must have seen that in many things you see such a shape or figure, seeing which you suspect that it is alive. Like staring at clouds, stones, houses, buildings, walls, trees, and other things for a long time, you can see a human face, an animal, or a figure in them as if they were alive. But when you try to explain the same experience to some other person, then he does not see or understand anything like that. This is a psychological phenomenon called pareidolia in the language of science.
Pareidolia can surprise you anywhere, in anything, such as seeing a wood or belt in the form of a snake, seeing a ghost, or seeing a shape in a vegetable or fruit. In this psychological phenomenon, a person tries to find a meaningful shape in a simple or normal object, which sometimes appears to us to be alive, but in reality, nothing like this happens as it is just an illusion of our mind. When you stare at a scene for a long time, our brain starts making more shapes in it and compares them with the pictures saved in memory, so that a shape resembles it and we understand it as such.
