People have been left frustrated about not being able to spot the terrifying woman in a viral photo.
I mean, it’s pretty f**king annoying when it feels like everyone else is discussing something you can’t even see.
It’s like a total FOMO mixed up with irritation and then a kind of existential disappointment that there’s something wrong with you – especially when people are banging on that it’s ‘so obvious’.
Optical illusions always seem to divide people on social media, with some getting it straight away while the rest of us scratch our heads and stare blankly.
So, to keep your ego protected let’s warm up with one:
This viral terrifying woman one really will put your eyesight to test but perhaps not in the way you’re expecting.
At first glance, the image seems wholesome – a blonde little girl and her brunette friend sitting alongside each other in some kind of woodland.
The fair-haired youngster’s face is turned to look at her pal, while the other child seems to be staring at the floor.
Just two little girls having a bit of a giggle while they sit in the woods. Cute, right?
Well, it is until you have a proper look. If you have anything less than 20/20 vision, you might have got a fright while scrolling past this post online.
See anything? (X)
It seems those of us cursed to wear glasses or contact lenses for the rest of our lives have a bit of a strange superpower when it comes to this snap.
People who have blurred vision when not using any visual aids are able to see a third face in the photo.
Some X users claim to have spotted it instantly, but others were dumbfounded and didn’t know where they were supposed to be looking.
One said: “Well, that was nightmare fuel. Thanks for the loss of sleep I’ll be having.”
Another wrote: “Apparently I’m not as blind as I thought. I see two children. No matter what I do with my phone or the amount of squinting!”
A third added: “Seriously, what am I looking at?”
So, if you’re still struggling, we’ve edited the picture slightly to make the face a little clearer:
That any better? (X)
OK, let’s put you sharp-sighted folks out of your misery – you should be able to spot a spooky-looking woman with a pale white face and dark eyes glaring back at you from the left of the picture.
She’s hidden in the hair and body of the blonde girl and is admittedly easier to spot once you know she’s there – though that doesn’t make her any less creepy.
The side of the blonde girl’s face forms the forehead, while a shadow in her hair and under her chin forms the woman’s eyes. Towards the bottom of the hair is the nose, and a crease in the girl’s t-shirt forms the mouth.
