The Famous “Scheibe Illusion” is a perceptual illusion, similar to the “Margaret Thatcher Illusion”. Can you see what’s wrong with the picture of Professor Scheibe? If not, try viewing the screen while standing on your head…. and then comment.

Didn’t quite stand on my head, I got the image onto my computer and flipped it, and you can see that the jaw and eyes are upside down or he is about to fall apart into a million pieces and reveal in his place a very angry inhuman being that is about to tear apart anything nearby. I think the former is unlikely and the latter is a result of flip of these features. When seen upside down the person looks happy and fine, more likely then not the features are flipped from the start via some sort of editing or this guy had been in extruciating pain at the time.
Holy crap! The guy looks like an insane megalomaniac about to tear you to pieces and destroy the world. Almost like Bush/Chaney.
oooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!
Gosh man this is bloody scary mehn.I got my hair on end man at the first sighting
i flipped over on my chair, fell onto the ground, cursed the evil little man, the chair, the hard ground, my stupid little head, then tried again :D. I fell over again… then cursed everything all over agiain… then finally suceeded and fell over because i was so surprised at the evilness, and this time i didnt even bother cursing, i just punched the monitor. BIG MISTAKE, i ended up sucking on my fist and mumbling curses for 5 minutes :D!! whew….
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! he looks real scary!
I agree with Anthony and Jibby. THIS GUY IS WACK!!! But it is just computer animated…..or is it…….ugh!! I’m creeping myself out!!!
haha he look slike a pervert, seriously.
FREAKINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Again it’s because our brain perceives faces in a special way. Like, babies at first can only focus on the eyes. There is a condition that destroys your hability to recognize faces. It’s called “prosopognosy” i think (can’t spell it in English)
While the whole picture is flipped upside down, I think his eyes are right-side-up. I wonder why no one else has noticed that.
I think his mouth is the same way, too.
this should be on Scary Illusions
ook
omg. hey!!! thats my friends grandfater!!! he never did get a job…wonder why and who would post him on. my friend is probably imbarrassed!! i feel her pain!!! lol…..
holy shit im gonna have nitemares!!!!!!!!
anonymous dont double post!
scary illusion! maybe those kids outside are wondering why i was standing on my chair letting my head hang down this way… whatever, cool thing, this pic
the condition that renders you incapable of recognizing faces is Age Related Macular Degeneration – ARMD
That is the freakiest thing… I mean seriously! AAAAAAAHHHH!!
see those eyes?…they will folow you for the rest of your life….remeber that…
=^.^=
The mouth is also right side up.
BLOODY HELL.
these people are called prosopagnosiacs and the disease is called pagnosia, has to do with receptors int he brain not functioning to be abe to recognize certain characteristics and rember them as ppls faces
God that scared the heck out of me.
this isn’t an illusion, this guy actually has a rare disease called thisreallyisanillusionia that makes his face look normal upside down and scare the crap out of people and make them curse their chairs normally.
sad/happy
That was scary, and I am only 12

D***. that scared the living daylights out of me!!!
His mouth and eyes are “pasted” right side up when they should be upside down like the rest of the picture. I could see that right away. I don’t get what the illusion is supposed to be…
Before I look at illusions, I look at the comments. Well, they weren’t that pleasant so I asked my dad to look at it then he laughed and then he said it wasn’t scary then he left. I went as far as I could from the computer, then looked at it upside-down. Well it’s not that scary if you’re far away!
upside down eyes and mouth SCARY
Whoa. Scary.
gunna have nightmares!!!
