Something is terribly wrong with this picture. Stare carefully at the picture to figure it out. Most people usually spot the problem within a minute.

    At first I thought it wasn`t really scary so I just looked at the comments,but when I looked at it again,I saw a very ugly face which surprised me and made me cover my face and I almost fell on my chair and into the floor!!!Then my brother showed up and I told him to watch the illusion,and so we waited for the ugly face,and once he saw it,he got so scared he went into my mom`s room and stayed far away from me as possible!!He won`t even go near the computer!!!Good illusion,guys!!!Love it!!!

  21. Meow Mix Rulez says:

    I knew what was going to happen because my dad pulled this on me when I was 3 years old. I was crying for 30 minutes afterward. BTW it’s not an illusion.

  29. randy says:

    ya are such babys T_T

  30. Tal says:

    LOL you wimps!
    That’s not scary at all.

    I heard the scream twice before seeing it because I was looking at a different page, but then I looked at it twice and it’s not scary at all.

  31. akof2k says:

    LOL, nice one, though it scared the shit out of me, was listening to Bryan Adams – Lets Make A Night To Remember, while trying to figure it out (at 2 am at night)man it has got an awesome sound track too.

  32. Sarah says:

    My cosins and i were looking at illotions and then we saw this one we staired into it wondering what the illotion was then the face appered and one of my coisins ran with her bare feet into the cold snow out side screaming aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh runing around a tree in front of all the neigbores.

  33. Carly says:

    Great. I couldn’t fall asleep so I was wandering the internet until I got sleepy and almost had a heart attack. My heart is pounding and now I will NEVER get to sleep! AND NOW I have heart burn! I am going to show it to everyone I know.

  34. Charlie Quark says:

    The part that did it for me is that there are no curtains on the curtain rails.

  35. Alejandro says:

    What really gets you is if you have headphones on. It comes in so freakin loud, that’s what shocked me way more than the surprise of the image itself.

  36. unknown says:

    ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
    that’s how the scream is
    the pic’s not scary
    and if u don’t get rid of this post it just keeps screaming in every 30 seconds
    very annoying

  37. Paul says:

    There is a balcony but there is no door. I noticed that and then I saw something moving in the picture while watching coments. Luckely, I turned off sound before that.

  69. HJR says:

    All I can figure is the radiator heater appears not to be installed up to code?? Hard to say, when studying the picture it keeps blinking off to a face, I think the picture is defective.

  70. Spiffi says:

    Well, I wasn’t scared.. But then again, i was totally expecting that, and had the volume turned almost all the way off…

  71. jazabelle says:

    OMFG! DUDE..FREAKY AS H***!!!!!!!

  72. scarelet says:

    @HJR

    thats what’s supposed to happen. if u turn up ur volume, it’ll scream. its a prank. -.-

  73. the cleb says:

    haha i had my sound down…didnt figure it out until i read some comets

  74. Weiss says:

    @scarelet HJR’s comment was meant to be a witty retort, I’m sure. He was making it seem as if he was seriously studying the image for a flaw and the “blinking to an image of a face” was merely a glitch with the picture.

    I was a bit startled, but a childhood of horror movies and being subjected to scream tactics far too often has made these things less effective. I’m surprised I jumped at all…

    TL;DR – Witty retort. Lame trick.

  75. Mrs. Tzogas says:

    Listen up, whoever put this on here.

    This was an abusive thing to do. My daughter and I thought we were engaging in a genuine intellectual exercise (puzzles are good for developing our brain power), and then were frightened out of our wits by the screaming face on the screen.

    It is one thing to visit a site where one knows in advance that they are about to get a jolt; after all, many people enjoy being given a fright. However, this was uninvited and unwelcome, and we are very uncomfortable and offended at being betrayed in this way.

    The headline is deceptive in its description; it says “OPTICAL ILLUSION” – and we want to express our disappointment and anger at being frightened against our will.

    Just wait until the day when you actually incite a serious heart or brain reaction in an unsuspecting viewer; I hope your website and its advertising sponsors get sued into oblivion.

    This is disgusting.

  76. Mrs. Tzogas says:

    Now I see that my comment is “awaiting moderaation”. Oh gee, do you suppose my post will be found to be offensive? Just like WE were offended by this garbage?

    Once again, disgusting.

  77. noj says:

    12.30pm at night, all lights switched off, screen on full brightness, just randomly browsing around the net for crazy illusions. Zoomed in and out several times to see anything unusual, Volume was almost full.

    This literally killed me. After a minute I couldn’t stop laughing.

  78. Aurel says:

    what an old joke.

    but then again, this post was from 2006 :U

  79. x3alyyykay says:
