Default Grotesque Creatures!

Watch the video. As long as you watch any of the two faces directly, they look normal. But when you focus your eyes on the cross in the centre, staring at it, then the harmless people show their real creepy nature!

Indeed, that is strange, and vaguely uncomfortable for some reason; probably due to messing with how we perceive things. Neat link, Sky.

It shows the images the mind is perceiving lasts for a split second I would guess. The image begin to overlap?
