The perspective does work, and that's the reason for the illusion. In vanishing point perspective, any set of parallel lines converges on the same point on the horizon; conversely, any set of lines that converge on a point on the horizon are...

It's absolutely amazing to watch a flock of gulls following a farmer harrowing a field.

I wonder if (and how) anyone can be trained to look for "strange feelings".

This is all you need to read. Seeing a non-human entity/cryptid looking in through a upper story window is a well worn trope going back to Spring Heel Jack and Victorian ghost stories which was later repeated by UFO hoaxers like Stan Romanek...

great work on finding this, my power is off for scheduled maintenance until 5 GMT and will look further later. The pipeline seems to be the leading hypothesis at present. I would be interested in establishing what the deep is at the pipe exit...
