Just stare for 30 seconds at the red cross and then look away at a white background. Merry Christmas. 
On first glance, you probably thought these images were four different pictures stitched together with Pic Stitch for Instagram or something. I don't blame you, it looks like a perfect windowpane. But what's crazy is if you look closer, these four images are actually just one single photograph. What!

If you stare at the the red ball in middle you should see another red ball that isn't actually there. And there is slower version below so you can see what is going on. Can you see how many squares there are. Here is our solution.  How many animals/insects can you find in the face below? The best we could do was 27.  Stare intently at the yellow dot in the middle of the tartan block for 30 seconds. Then look at the white space on the right. You should be able to alternate between horizontal and vertical lines in the after image. 
Just a blue ring with a gap going round and around. But now try to concentrate on the red dot in the middle. If you can put everything out of your mind the blue ring will disappear and a short brown line will start going around on its own. It's quite difficult to acheive but with practice you might get it. Good luck. 
Something scary is going on in this room, three different ghosts have appeared. Can you find them?

The image has been 'positioned' to give an interesting optical illusion – the river seems to be flowing at the top of a large mountain chain! Rotating the image by 180 degrees provides a more familiar viewpoint – the river actually rests in a valley, as expected.
