If eyes are so good at seeing things, why are eyes also so bad at seeing things? Every single one of us has been in a situation where we think we're looking at a face in the trees or a dark specter in a dumpster and every single time it's just a sign or a rock or something. We're glad every time that we're not looking at a mysterious demon looking back at us, but maybe it would be nice if one time it was legit just so we don't feel stupid.
The smallest amount of reflection, shadow or skewed perspective will have our eyes pushing us into believing one thing is a different thing. Just once we'd like to see a traffic cone actually be a lost wizard's hat. Is that too much to ask for? A safety wizard that directs traffic? In case you want to confuse your eyes some more, here are some more freaky double take moments that had our eyes thoroughly tricked.
