Yes I see it but if you hadn't pointed it out I wouldn't have noticed it. I don't believe in ghosts ;)

I love these as well, they're fun.

But as usual, I'll play devil's advocate, and mention that the power of suggestion plays a role. I can see the person in the center, likely because I knew it was supposed to be there and where to look for it. I can't see the others.

And the human brain is hard-wired from way back to see faces in everything. It's a survival instinct. So seeing faces in patterns and static and whatnot is to be somewhat expected.

But it's still cool :-)
