  • Effigies and artifacts of the mind!

    What is the deal with all the people who claim to see effigies and other artifacts in nearly every odd rock they pick up? There are pages of such rocks on Pinterest and etsy, as well as some on ebay. It seems similar to the videos on youtube where the poster claims to see all kinds of alien artifacts in the pictures of the Mars landscape taken by various rovers. Are people programed to see shapes and lines and believe they are manmade?

    The picture below is an”Omar” stone. I suppose it is possible it was picked up and used by ancient Americans, but was not an artifact.

    My mother has this problem. Any rock that's triangle shaped is an arrowhead, and any rock that fits in her hand is an artifact. I don't get it personally.

        I like it, I have some “paint pots” that wouldn’t hold enough paint to cover my nose”. guessing Term Hag is newer to me.
        but that is the easiest “fortune” telling Hag there is.
