A simple group selfie taken during a hike has gone viral after people claimed to spot something unexpected hidden in the picture. The photo shows six friends smiling together in a forest, but many online believe there’s a mysterious “seventh face” lurking in the background.
The image was shared on Reddit, where users quickly began searching for unusual details. Many pointed to the bottom left area between two of the women, saying they noticed what appears to be a shadowy face. Some admitted the discovery gave them chills, while others joked they wished they had never looked so closely.
Not everyone is convinced the image is paranormal. Skeptics argue it’s simply another person standing behind the group, with shadows and lighting creating the illusion of a creepy face. Others believe the photo may just be an example of pareidolia—the brain’s tendency to see familiar patterns, like faces, where none actually exist.
Whether it’s a spooky coincidence or just an optical illusion, the photo has sparked plenty of debate online. What do you think—did you spot a mysterious seventh face, or is it all just a trick of the light?
