You're not alone in this. Pareidolia is very typical for human beings. Even the Upper Palaeolithic artists used pareidolia when creating pictures: Altamira is a cave in northern Spain where have been found a lot of paintings and drawings oft he Upper Palaeolthic. There is no agreement on the dating, probably anytime between 33,600 and 11,000 before Christ.
