Is it normal if you stare at something long enough it looks like it's moving?!?

Try this, stare at something static in your room for about a minute, keep focused on it but relax your eyes...does anything strange happen??!

    When I stare at girls too long they often move. Also, a fine, peppery mist often flows into my eyes at some point.

    One time I stared at a box of Fruity Pebbles for 5 hours straight and it did a backflip.

    They're called relaxed eye visuals. They are even more intense while on certain drugs.

    It's always creepy when you stare at a picture of a person for too long. Smiles turn into evil cringes and the eyes just stare into your soul. Can't stand it x)

    When me and my brothers were younger we stared at our aunt's dead body in her casket.... We looked so long it seemed like she was breathing.

    Yes, this is normal.
    People who make 'Op Art' often make use of these illusory effects.
