YOUR EYES CAN DECEIVE YOU OUT OF BOREDOM
Looking at an object for an extended period can cause it to appear as if it’s something else entirely. The brain is a complex organ that processes millions of things every second, leading to unusual results sometimes. For example, gazing into a mirror for ten minutes will make the brain start altering your facial features to combat boredom.
This distortion process has resulted in numerous creepy stories. Participants in a study conducted by Caputo of the University of Urbino reported seeing unknown persons and fantastical creatures.
