Pareidolia is a phenomena that causes humans to see things like faces and such in inanimate objects. I watched a documentary on it not even 5 hours ago. The paranoia of the night seemed to die a bit with this realization. The rationalization of unknown events dilutes the fear for most people.

So why is it that I'm sitting here at 3:32 AM, sitting in near total darkness too scared to check that pattern of weird shadows that makes me think of a face with anything by peripheral vision? It's probably just a discoloration in my wall paint right? Or the moonlight trickling through the window in a weird way. Yeah that's probably it.

Oh god it blinked.
