Mountain Face Optical Illusion

Good Morning to you all, and welcome to Thursday, which is also known as Thanksgiving Day! Today is a very special day where friends and family will be getting together to sit down to a nice roasted turkey meal. However, before you all pack up and head to someone else’s house for food, we want to share with you a great optical illusion. Sometimes people can spot things when they look at mountains, and that is definitely the case with today’s optical illusion. Check out this mountain, and do you all see something hidden among the ragged peaks and rocks? You are absolutely correct! There is a face staring right back at you! Do you all see it? Here is a hint, the nose is in the direct center of the face, and that should help you all see the rest of the face too. Whether this is just an illusion, or a trick of the light, it sure is an amazing optical illusion.

After you all eat your turkey, you may want to go exercise a little bit, and this woman is riding a horse in this stunning optical illusion! Horseback riding is a great way to work off all that turkey, and we hope you all have a really great Thanksgiving holiday with those you love!

The 1948 high school fad of “Red-Out” was one of the stupidest high school fads ever. Students would kneel, breathe deeply 10 times, close their lips around their thumbs and then blow, without actually exhaling, until they turned red and passed out. They would wake up believing they had been chased by monsters, while being unconscious.
