Posting about a common visual disease along with some other vaguely related visual conditions for general discussion and the expected SO THAT'S WHAT IT IS posts.

Though it's kind of hard to explain, visual snow is often described as an additional layer of clear/green/purple/red/yellow "noise" applied over the afflicted's field of view, like a grainy old TV program.

It may come with other effects such as photophobia (an intolerance to bright lights due to hypersensitivity), negative afterimagery fucking UP THE ASS, a greater degree of positive afterimagery (may be more hallucinatory in nature if they persist longer than a second), tinnitus, and enhanced blue field entoptic phenomena (AKA "sky sprites").

It seems to be associated with ASDs (not exclusively though you're probably autistic if you're on this board anyway) and hypermetabolism in a certain part of the brain involved in sensory processing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingual_gyrus (I'm no neurologist lol)

OPs post has nothing to do with the paranormal and is inappropriate...
You waste our threads

OP's post is relevant to /x/ because of all the people who post shitty photos they took on their cell phones and claim they see a face or ghost etc. also the people who claim to see spirits and whatnot, all of this kind of shit is posted daily on /x/ and they could be explained by a lot of the subjects that OP has provided links for information on

I guess I'll post this while I'm at it too, even if it's not uncommon or weird https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia

I was thinking of that actually while I was typing my response but yeah.
basically the majority of "spooky things" people seem to experience and then come on /x/ and post about can be explained by the things OP linked

don't know how much of this stuff you know yourself, but do you know what it when you look at an object (most notably the fingers) and see a sort of thin colourless veil, or light bending weirdly in a way that can slightly magnify and distort objects, when you hold it up to your eye? assuming it's a sort of afterimage or light diffraction thing, though I can't find much of it outside of occult shit when I look it up

I sort of know what you're talking about though I don't know if there's an actual name for it
I did find this though which is kind of interesting too
