Paredolia: A Ghost Dog on a Grave?

A  video posted on social media really makes you stop and stare at what looks like the ghost of a dog standing on it's grave!  It turns out to be Paredolia. Today's blog will tell you what that is and show you the video

 

WHAT IS PAREDOLIA? Pareidolia (/pærᵻˈdoʊliə/ parr-i-DOH-lee-ə) is a psychological phenomenon in which the mind responds to a stimulus (an image or a sound) by perceiving a familiar pattern where none exists. It's like seeing a face in a cloud.

In the video, it turns out that it was two bunches of flowers that from a certain angle actually looks like a dog.

DIY Prophacks published the video he took of what looked like a ghost dog. He said "I was riding by this pet cemetery and thought for sure there was a dog standing on this grave. Turns out it was just an optical illusion created by these dead flowers. I hope it came out ok on camera. RIP Kosmo. I never knew you but you made my day a little more interesting. No disrespect intended toward the dog or it's owners."
