Paradolic illusions , or paradydols, is the illusory perception of a real object. In contrast to dual images, the illusions of perception of depth, images for pattern recognition, where images are created specifically to provoke the emergence of illusions, paradealia occur when the most ordinary objects are perceived. For example, when viewing a wallpaper or carpet, cracks and stains on the ceiling, clouds, you can see changeable, fantastic landscapes, faces of people, unusual animals, etc. The basis of such illusory images are the details of the actual pattern. For the first time paradydols are described by Calbaum and Jaspers (Kahlbaum K., 1866; Jaspers K., 1913).

Some paradolic illusions arise when one perceives any well-known images. In this case, they can be observed simultaneously with many people.

The exterior of the church by the sea, in Madeira Beach, near Tampa Bay, Fla., Resembles a chicken face. The church, built in 1944, suddenly became an Internet sensation and a local landmark, receiving the resounding name "Chicken Church".

One of the most famous caves in Bulgaria is officially called “Prohodna Cave” (Prohodna Cave), and is located in the vicinity of the village Karlukovo. Tourists notice its main feature right away - these are huge natural openings in the cave vault, resembling giant empty eye sockets.

Mountains resembling an Indian in headphones. Phenomenon, called Badlands Guardian.

An amazing image on Google maps was made by a fifty-three-year-old Canadian resident Lynn Hickox. Using Google Earth, she tried to find the way to the dinosaur museum located near her house, but instead she saw the huge head of an Indian. The relief measuring approximately 255 by 225 meters is located in the province of Alberta, near the border with the United States. The very "face" of natural origin, but people have worked on the creation of "headphones" - in fact, this is an oil well and the road to it.
There’s nothing to look at from the Earth, and the territory is closed. However, thanks to Google aerial photos, the Badlands Guard and the place where he is located has gained a truly world-wide fame.

To see the Indian in the headphones, enter the coordinates 50.010083, -110.113006.
