There Are Actually Two Women in This Creepy Photo. Can You Find Both?

There is one creepy photo going around that is really confusing to everyone who looks at it. According to the creator of the image, there are supposed to be two women within the photo. However, most people who look at this can only see one. It’s been driving us crazy!

Optical illusions are fun, but they also have a pretty important use. Besides being entertaining and challenging, these types of puzzles are good for your brain! According to the Queensland Brain Institute, “our brain is like a blind supercomputer; it’s very smart, but it can’t see. It’s just a really smart blob. To figure out what it needs, our eyes tell our brain what the things around us look like. The problem is our eyes only know a handful of words to describe what they see. Sometimes, our brain gets confused by what the eyes are trying to tell it. Optical illusions happen when our brain and eyes try to speak to each other in simple language but the interpretation gets a bit mixed-up.”[1]

This creepy photo optical illusion works the same way. Basically, your brain understands that something is there, and you have information in front of you that confirms this. However, your eyes don’t quite see what the brain is telling you is there. So, they communicate until they reach the same conclusion. Although this process is not completely understood by scientists, how the brain and eyes communicate with each other, they do know one thing: using optical illusions can strengthen your brain![2]

What do you see in this Creepy Photo?

This vintage creepy photo is titled “My Wife and My Mother-in-Law.” Based on that title, we know there are supposed to be two women in the picture. However, most people can only seem to spot the one. To figure this out, you’ll have to really use your brainpower and shift your perspective quite drastically. Let’s see how you do!

Now, it’s easy to see the one woman because she is the focus of the creepy photo. But, can you find the second? To be honest, it took us quite a while to find her- over 2 full minutes! If you can find the other woman in under 30 seconds, you must be a genius!

We’ve shown this photo to several people and 9 out of 10 can’t find the second woman. We have the solution for you but we want to give you a little more time to find the answer. Remember, your eyes can only see what you allow them to see. Step back, shift your perspective, and see if that helps.
