Spooky "ghost image" optical illusion.

I wanted to share one of my favorite optical illusions, this one is a bit different. I know some will have seen this before, but others who have never stumbled upon it should enjoy it.

See those three colored dots on the woman below?

Get close to the image, but not super close. I swear nothing is going to jump out or startle you, those things are "lame".

I get startled easily.

See those three colored dots on the ladies face? Stare at them for at least 45 seconds and then turn your head towards a light colored surface, (a wall next to you would work) and blink your eyes as rapidly as you can.

Get kinda close to the wall too.

You gotta blink them really fast. Super fast even..

[edit] you may have to get pretty close to your screen because of the picture size



Just keep blinking, she will eventually disappear, hopefully...

It's quite similar to the Jesus optical illusion. Nonetheless it's still pretty interesting. Thanks for sharing it with us, I'm sure others will enjoy it

It didn't work for me. Perhaps because I am on an iPad?

Hmm.. Could you share that one?

I have yet to see it. Sounds cool..

I like how you can see all the details when you blink really fast.

Lol, for me she stays and stays before fading even after blinking slowly so no one should have any problem seeing this one. She's even still there as I'm typing this. I can see her outline on the black border of this page and slightly in the text box. Poor woman is burned into my retinas.

Try getting closer to the screen maybe.. perhaps the screen is to small.

After 45 seconds you should be able to see her in a new way, outside of your vision,

Kinda hard to explain

She will go away I promise.

If you get close to a white wall afterward you can make out some amazing detail.

I kinda miss her when she goes.

I kid I kid

apple products manipulate your alpha waves into an hypnotic trance-like state, filtering out all foreign forms of subliminal messaging, brainwashing and propaganda other than their apps and forcing each applebot to endlessly buy all of their products year in and year out.

optical illusions, free will and magic tricks will not work on an apple product user.

it is so powerful that once a person purchases or uses an apple product for an extended period of time, they will buy the exact same product(s) next year and marvel at the latest models minor, unimportant and irrelevant changes.

such as adding a random letter or number at the end of the product name or making it .005 mm thinner, or .00003 grams lighter.

unfortunately there is no known antidote other than stopping cold turkey and suffering from intense heroin like withdrawals.

Stare at the dots in the middle for 45 seconds then look away.

Thanks for the laugh!

I have a "special" friend who is an apple "user".

Sweet, thanks for taking the time to find and post that for me.

For the 45 seconds I kept thinking "this looks like a dinosaur egg"

I enjoyed the Jesus one... Until it started to fade and changed into looking more like Charles Manson.
