What we see out of the corner of our eye

What we see out of the corner of our eye

ANDAs a child, I always saw something. As a teenager, I was “scared” of strange shapes and always “felt” things. Sometimes I was fascinated by air molecules in a stream of lightweight. Or eye floaters… I've always been interested in them and sometimes I adjusted my vision to other things, such as the density of the walls. I guess I was trying to see the dynamics of matter. Well, it happened to me a few times that the walls turned into faces, and they changed from one face to another, and over and over again, until I couldn't see that way anymore. But if I look at a blank wall for a long time, for example, I start to see faces. The faces stick out of the walls and look a little smaller than realistic. Sometimes I wonder where they get ideas for horror movies with a face bulging out of the wall. Have other people seen this? What do you think? Are these ghosts that I see? Another thing is those white fluffy things that you see out of the corner of your eye and then you turn your head and they're gone. What are they?
