Way back before the internet consisted of Trump memes, it was a far stranger and much more interesting place. People would gather on bulletin boards in dark corners of the web to discuss all manner of things, from public phone hacks to conspiracy theories, amongst like-minded people. One of the big things was finding signs and images in everyday objects.
You know, like when Jesus appeared in that guy's toast, or the mangled Cheerio that looked just like Winston Churchill. Those kinds of signs. The thing was, though, that discovering stuff like that wasn't scary, just weird. On the other hand, finding a human eye in your washing-up suds is a different matter entirely. That's the kind of thing where you scream, run out of the house, and call up your priest for an old fashioned exorcism.
