A creepy ultrasound scan photo has gone viral after freaking out thousands of social media users around the world.
A picture of an ultrasound scan was posted on social media website on 1 January with the caption “A friend’s ultrasound. When you see it…”. Since then it has been viewed almost 1,5 million times and sparked debate whether a shadowy figure standing next to an unborn child is a “demon” or a “god”.
The alleged friend of the parents’ commented on the photo: “Everything is fine now. The baby was premature by 2 months.
They asked the tech who did the ultrasound what it was – they didn’t really have an answer besides they haven’t seen something like that before. Kinda an interesting story with a photo to go along.”
The baffled commentators compared a grainy silhouette to a mermaid, a Hindu Goddess, but most people saw the face of a grinning demon. One of them wrote: “Well that [expletive deleted] actually scared me.
o check my room with the phone’s light just to make sure there wasn’t anybody here.”
Another one wrote: “I see a goodhearted woman looking after her child. We can see anything we want in shapes. As long as baby isn’t a demon think it’s mum will be ok. Idiots!!!
The “demon” is thought to be an example of pareidolia, a psychological phenomenon when people interpret random images, or patterns of light and shadows as images of animals, faces, or other objects.
There have been many instances of perceptions of religious imagery and themes, especially the faces of religious figures, in ordinary phenomena. Many involve images of Jesus, the Virgin Mary, the word Allah, or other religious phenomena.
