Yeah.. you know what I see? Creatures.. creatures everywhere! They are on the prowl, waiting to attack poor Eöwyn in her sleep, haunt her nightmares! Fiourlegged creatures, with beaks and fangs and claws and ill intent! They are coming for her.. beware the shadows, beware the sleep!
This is how people used to think they saw a face in an old photograph of the surface of Mars. Human brains are wired from birth to recognize and evaluate faces. We see them in everything, and we also have a strong tendency to anthropomorphize inanimate objects.
My source for that information is Carl Sagan's "The Demon-Haunted World - Science as a Candle in the Dark". He has a whole chapter in that book, which is about debunking superstition, on the so-called "Face on Mars."

Although I know this, about the brain being wired to see faces.
That "face on Mars" is really hard to "unsee". Trying to see the rocks/shadows/geography ect. is almost impossible I find. Brain keeps on saying, "yeah rocks and shadows righhht......nope, it's a face, definitely a face".
Am I the only one that sees this? Gonna leave this here, tell me if you guys see it too.
Ohh. Yup.
I tried tracing it the way I see it. My art skills are quite terrible, but it looks to me like a Simpsons-like caricature of a vampire, with big teeth and eyes and pointed ears.
Meanwhile, while everyone else was looking for screaming faces, I went and found myself a giant puppy!

How can you do this to me? Now I can't un-see the puppy dog and OMG it's so cute! I also see the vampire. And the left shadow looks like a giant chameleon to me, like @Skatan drew it but with a long tongue.

Lol.
I can see it, but not how @Yulaw9460 has drawn it.
It looks like the "Elephant Man" to me. First thing I thought of when I eventually figured it out.
