For those who are unfamiliar with the explanation for this, it's called pareidolia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia) which basically means that the brain will tend to recognise certain patterns in things. Non faces can look like faces, a burn pattern in a toast can look like a robed Jesus and a dried mango can look like the virgin Mary in prayer.

I don't know, there there's money to be made in selling most of these stuff.

People don't really mention other 'apparitions', such as the one below:
