A resident of the United States of America claims that he was able to photograph the other day some ghosts in the middle of a snowy landscape. Eric Benson from Minnesota said that he recently visited his mother in the service. A woman working in the building that previously housed the high school. According to rumors, the educational institution has been cursed and is inhabited by many immigrants from the world. Perhaps that is why school and moved to another building, and it was given to the office.
So, according to Eric, he said goodbye to his mother and went outside. Began a strong snowfall, and our hero decided to photograph the trees nearby in this amazingly fantastic snow "chaos". When the American returned home and reviewed the images, he was not alone. On one of the frames Benson noticed the ephemeral human figures, as if merging with the snow. Despite the fact that the alleged phantoms look very fuzzy upon careful examination, in the picture you can see something resembling a few snow ghosts. The mysterious figure seemed to look at the camera, intrigued by the appearance of men.
Many users of the world wide web decided that it parabolicheskie illusion created by the flakes of falling snow. The ability of a person to see different images in random textures is called apophenia. This term was introduced in 1958, the German psychiatrist Klaus Conrad. Scientist have determined that apophenia often typical of people with very good imagination. In other words, the better your imagination, the more you see around like "barabashek". However, excessive apophenia can be a symptom of mental disorder.

Hypotheses
Pareidolic illusion
A variety of visual illusions (the so-called "sensory illusions additions"); is the formation of illusory images, as a basis which are the details of the real object. Thus, the vague and obscure the visual image is perceived as something distinct and defined — for example, figures of people and animals in the clouds, the image of a man on the moon, "a hidden message", audible when you reverse the audio recordings, the shadows formed by leaves or complexes of objects in certain lighting (sometimes at a certain angle).

Investigation
