This is called the Coffer illusion. In this image there are 16 circles.
Test your perception. Can you find them?

This is a brilliant example of how our brains process visual information.
The illusion cleverly uses straight lines and box-like structures to hide the circles in plain sight. It's a delightful challenge to try and spot all 16 circles amidst the seemingly straightforward pattern of rectangles and squares. The trick to finding the circles is to let your focus be a bit softer, almost looking through the image rather than directly at it.
This allows your brain to shift from recognizing the straight lines and angles to noticing the curved edges forming the circles. Don't despair, help is at bottom of this post...and you will not be able to unsee them.

The Vatican's new ruling on supernatural phenomena appears to have been more about addressing the rise of charismatic practices than any confirmation of such events occurring with any regularity... Specifically the use of such imagery as it relates to recent abuse scandals.

America is becoming a bad Exorcist sequel. A lot of people are calling this woman(?) a zombie but I don't think that's correct. That right there is an urban variant of a swamp hag: a gutter meth hag.

Like most malevolent fey creatures, they can only be harmed by cold iron. They dislike the sound of bells. They can mimic the sounds of injured urban wildlife to lure their victims into culverts, sewers, and cisterns. They have an unnatural strength and a taste for man flesh. Best to approach from range with overwhelming force.
