Old Man or Young Horse Rider
February 25, 2007 by Vurdlak
I noticed that for over a year now, one of our most visited optical illusions on this page is original Scary Illusion. Illusions from scary section perform very well actually. Am not sure why, though. It was one of my first posts in the early days of this site, and I don't know exactly why I put it online in the first place. Its even not an illusion, but more like a prank. Just my thoughts, ignore me.
Ok, I got these 3 art works from my friend who is professional internet surfer. I don't know the original artist's name, but I'm sure I've seen similar versions of this before. Where multiple animals or people make one complete image or portrait. As you can see, the first image and second two can be seen in multiple ways. What did you saw first? An old man's portrait, or a peasant on a horse? I saw the old man first. Share your opinion about these illusions. Don't forget to jump inside this article to see full collection.
Another thing; I see many negative comments lately, but you have to understand it's not easy to post best optical illusion every day. Thousand of them are already posted on this site, and it's getting harder and harder to find the very good ones. I can assure you that everything I post on Mighty Illusions is in some way connected to illusion arts or visual phenomena. Other extras include games, tests and toys, but these sections should be considered as an easter eggs, to give you more options when you're feeling bored.

hint! hint! you realy gotta squint your eyes to see the other one!
erm...interesting...xD.
I visit your site almost everyday and I really love all the illusions you find. These ones are really cool! Thank you for your site!
These are really nice ! Great stuff ! Keep it up !
now thats just cool and interesting!
those are really cool.i couldn't see the first one until i looked at it in the widget.cool illsuions.
Highly Interesting...
Thanks. I always enjoys these.
I dig it
it helps to look at them cross eyed, you can see the bigger face one easier that way
that old lady has a pretty sweet eye.
I hate all the idiots who think they are the best and post that everything is bad . . .
Anyway, nice pictures, though the lady is hard . . . still haven't quite figured it out =P
Yea Very cool i didnt get the last one til i squint my eyes Very interesting.
The artist is Octavio Ocampo
At first glance on the first one, I saw the old man but I can't see him anymore, though I know where he is. Same with the second one: at first glance, I saw the old lady but now I see the woman by a stream and can't see the old lady anymore, though I know where she is. The last one had me stumped -- I saw a lady with a basket over her head surrounded by skulls. I squinted my eyes (thank you 'just me') and saw the lady turn into a skull surrounded by darkness. YAY FUNN ILLUSIONS!!!
These are some of the best illusions i have ever seen... I LOVE THEM!!!!! thanks so much these are amazing!
The wierd thing with the second one is that I can see where the old woman should be, but I can't realy see her.
i don't like em... they freaks me out
if you don't see the last picture, go back a few meters and turn left.
