Old Man or Young Horse Rider

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.

  1. 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!

  2. 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

  3. 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!!!

  4. 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.

  5. Highly interested in knowing who this artist is… This stuff is really mind blowing when you think about it.

  6. SPOILER

    the second one is an old lady if you can see, the waterfall is her hair, and the young lady is her face.

  7. cool!
    they’re all cool!
    the first is an old man..
    the second is a old lady..
    the last pic is a skull- the mouth is closed and
    is also the lady’s waist.. ^^
