What is going on in these?
It's not hard to be a fan of optical illusions when they are so entertaining. And while some mind-bogglers have been meticulously designed and created, others are discovered by chance – just like these four accidental head-spinners.
From levitating boats to three-headed deers, for this piece we have chosen the best and most confusing illusions that weren't made by design. But if you're a fan of brain-frazzlers that have been carefully created, then our roundup of the bestWhen your boat takes floating way too literally.... We have covered the peculiar 'Fata Morgana' phenomenon a few times, but we still think it's fascinating.
The natural-occurring illusion is caused when cold air sits below warm air directly above the sea. This atmosphere above the sea level bends the light and distorts the image for onlookers along the shoreline, resulting in it looking as though the boat is floating well above the sea. The internet is utterly jam-packed with cat content, so it should come as no surprise to see a feline-themed illusion make it to our list.
Supposedly, the direction that you see the cat walking is dependent on your personality. If it looks as though it's heading upstairs then you're more likely to be optimistic, whereas if the cat is coming down the stairs, then you're more pessimistic – although, we wouldn't take that as gospel.This accidental optical illusion looks like something straight out of Nordic mythology.
Jakaitis has said,"When I took the picture I didn’t even notice it. It was only when I looked back at the images on my camera that I realised". Deers are known for walking in paths, so it makes sense that Jakaitis was able to capture this stunning moment where the creatures were all lined up with each other.
