Waterfall Face IllusionJust to inform you, from now on, comments similar to “first post“, “first comment” etc. won’t be approved any more. They are really pointless if you ask me. I run this site for little over a year now, but it seems it has become very, very popular lately. I also noticed people started seeing faces everywhere they look. I’m not sure is it because of our site, or something else. Newest addition was by Michael Schlegel who wants us to carefully look at the waterfall photo he sent.

Michael wrote: “You’ll see a face emerging. It requires a bit of imagination but once you see it, it becomes quite obvious. Just before I took the picture someone had told me a tale about the creek that claimed you could hear voices whispering in the creek, that the water was talking to you. I never heard the voices, but the tale made the picture a bit more eerie.” This one wasn’t very convincing, or at least I haven’t seen it. Maybe you will!

    Nice illusion, I like the fact tht it was hard to see, and gave you alot of satisfaction once you saw it.

  2. cherie says:

  3. At School says:

  4. Kulbir says:

    Awesome !

  5. Jan says:

    I´m with you man, relaxing picture but no face in it! It´s somehow like the ninjas picture! I think nobody really found more than one ninja! hey you could ask the sender to send the same picture, but with the face profile done with windows paint…

  6. Ellen says:

    wow, at first all i saw was a goat but then i stared at it for a while and it just hit me. how scary! it has pointy teeth and gray skin!

  7. Michael Tughan says:

    For any who can’t see the face, it’s in the lower half of the picture. The eye is just off to the left of the center, and just below halfway. There’s sort of a whiter circle. Once, you see that, look about another 2/3 towards the bottom, and you can just see a faint mouth. You’ll see everything else if you can see those.

    Scaaary! it looks like satan.. lol

    The face is somewhat surreal, it is an outline of the eyes and a rough image of a nose to long for a normal face, the mouth seems to be partially removed and all that is seen is the upper jaw and teeth which are pointed and sharpened.

    The image is soothing in it’s our right, but I have to agree, it seems people are finding faces in everything. But this one is rather fun and very fulfilling when you actually find it.

    Lame…what a waste of time. Where are the real illusions?

  11. ulrichkm says:

    I don’t know about faces, but I think I saw some kind of dog in about the center of the picture. A Scottish Terrier perhaps.

    View the outline of the dog I saw… http://www.kaylashay.com/doginwater.jpg

    i see some faces, but they’re not very obvious, and i cant find one that, once i spot it, sticks out at my face. i might hav found the eye thou…

  13. John says:

    I like this one, I see a large face with its mouth open, then directly to the left of the large face, I see another face. It is a smaller face with a long, flowing gray beard. The two faces are touching each other. It looks like the larger face is in awe of the smaller face, staring at it from behind. It seems like the larger face is the young god, and the older face is the older god.

  14. lisa says:

    I can see it! Staring right back at you!

    Thanks for the first comment thing. It was getting tiring.

    It looks like the Jigsaw puppet from Saw!

    that’s an illustration

  17. Elliexx ANIMALS ROCK!! Abixx's friend! says:

    hey, i kinda see a clear face now! … but i dont think its the one some people hav been describing.

  18. Anonymous says:

    I still can’t see it!

  19. Anonymous says:

    scary!…how ironic considering it’s supposed to be a soothing picture of nature

  20. jonathan says:

    if im seeing it correctly the person also has buck teeth. and i think im seeing a cow or somethin next to the face. lol

  21. Texas says:

    Just like clouds, one can see almost anything. However, the myth is of a whispering voice from the water. Goblins, demons, goats aside, look at just off center and you will see a feminine profile with mouth open. Below that is her neck and chest with a hint of a top of sorts. Once you discover that, you might imagine an arm extending outwards (to the left) – much like a singer “whispering her tale”.

  22. Quintin Kerby says:

    I see a baby elephant’s profile right above the evil face. Sorta like this: baby elephant

  23. Ribbed says:

    I can see the trollish/baboon looking face but also, just to the right of it’s upper lip, I can see another face. Looks like a bald man with a beard (no mustache).

    And slightly up and to the right of the baboon eyes, there appears to be a ghostly image of a female. It takes a little imagination to, but there’s the deep black eye sockets, a shadow of a nose, and the blackened lips of an opened mouth.

    And finally, I see what can only be described as a grinning buck-toothed alien with a goatee. Imagine the baboon eyes are teeth instead (with the goatee hanging below)… to the left is a slight jaw line, above is a white area where a nose would be (of course, we all know aliens don’t have noses) then 2 shaded areas that look almost like squinting eyes.

    Bravo on your new policy Vurdlak.

    neat, first?

  26. Morgan says:

    Can we also ban people who say stuff like

    Lame…what a waste of time.

    great illusion… is funny how some people can only see 1 then another can see a totally different one… i can see both O_O

  27. Ryan says:

    Ok I’m with Cherie on this one… I can see a few faces.. first one is as Number 9 “anonymous” described, a second is to the right of that circle nose. It’s side on, looking towards the nose (looking to the left of the picture), with it’s mouth open wide. It’s just at the edge of the whiter thicker water. There’s a couple other’s too that could be shapes of faces/features. The face that “9. anonymous” described though is creeping me out… those eyes are freaky..

  28. A person says:

    Like haha951 said, this was a good illusion, and after you see the face it still requires a bit of immagination, and it means people can see their own picture of the face, not something very obvious. Any ways, it’s a good illusion! ^_^

  29. sydneyy says:

    i dont see it at all :(

  30. Juder Dice says:

    Help i cant see it?!!

  31. devildog says:

    I just can’t see it. These pictures that crazy people see faces in are not really optical illusions. But hey, that’s just my opinion.

  32. Anonymous says:

    Cool illusion. I kinda see a M on the bottom right hand corner.

  33. me says:

    Neat, although, it seems a little photoshopped…

    Good work nonetheless! : )

  34. popgun68 says:

    Does anyone see the person standing on top of the left eye just left of center (from Michael Tughan’s post) It’s a full body that looks like someone with their arms stretched out like Frankenstein’s Monster. Cool.

  35. cheri2 says:

    Like my namesake, I also see several faces, many that look feline. There’s something very interesting about an illusion that just happens, rather than being contrived by an artist. I’ll cut it some slack for that.. :)

  36. Neely says:

    Wow. Well I seem many faces now. It took a bit, though. Oh and I didn’t like the tree illusion much.

  37. Richard@Home says:

    Looks like its a prime example of ‘yer run of the mill anthromorphication to me guv’nor.

  38. Anonymous says:

    I can’t see a face but I can see a figure of a little girl with her hand out but maybe thats just me I see her off to the right half of the picture her dress is at the very bottom of the picture.

  39. funsucker says:

    The face is most likely just a refraction of the light through it against the rock behind with some reflection of the person’s face in front of it.

    It would be interesting to get a picture of the rock behind to see why that happened or if it really is some spooky image!!!

  40. Kevin says:

    can’t find it, but it sure sounds like its very amusing once u find it.
    i’ll keep looking…

  41. Anonymous says:

    dude u can see faces in almost any random pattern. if ur house that popcorn-style celing, look up at it and i bet u see a face after a few minutes.

  42. Jason says:

    I saw a face and the I saw Mickey Mouse! I saw about a total of 4 faces so far!

  43. Aimee says:

    I can sort of see a baboon’s face, if that counts?

  44. AK says:

    FIRST COMMENT!!!!
    hehe kidding…
    its cool, i see many faces, there one right near the middle which i saw first. Pretty cool illusion, specailly cuz it wasnt designed, but just a photograph

    btw-can ppl stop saying things r photoshopped as soon as they see something cool!!

  45. Anonymous says:

    wow. I see a scared Indian girl wearing an ornate top, like a beaded top they wear. Her hair is tied in a pig tail down to the left side of the picture. That’s fricken awesome. I wonder what happened at that waterfall, or what ties her to it…

  46. Nicole says:

    i dont know about you people, but that is one scary lookin dude.

  47. Anonymous says:

    This is pretty awesome. It took me a while to get something outt of it. I found an old looking man, and a buck. There is also a girl that I found on the left (the small little waterfall) and it looks like her head is down slightly and her arm is raised as if ashamed. I’m still trying to find other faces, but no luck yet.

  48. Anonymous says:

    hihi

    i dont know if i really see it…lol… i think i do but if that is it then the face is leaning at an angle or somthin. i dont possibly see how someone could see a dog or a goat though. lol.

  49. I Luv The Teen Titans! says:

    Holy Crap go to the middle of the waterfall and look the the left I see a chihuahua kissing a penguin or maybe that’s just me cause I lov echihuahuas.

  50. I Luv The Teen Titans! says:

    The only “face” I see is some weird skinny bearded guy with a skinny neck and mickey mouse ears ( Ha! )
