Man suffers from rare 'demon face syndrome', sees monsters in every face
A 59-year-old man from Tennessee, US has a rare disease which makes him see people's faces as 'demonic'
Social Media
On a life-altering day in November 2020, Victor Sharrah woke up and noticed that people’s faces around him looked demonic
Social Media
Victor said human faces now appeared stretched out and widened, with pointy ears and deep grooves on the forehead, cheeks and chin
Social Media
Victor said, 'My first thought was I woke up in a demon world'
Social Media
The distortions appear only when Victor sees people in person — not in photographs or on computer screens
Social Media
One of Victor’s acquaintances suggested that he might be suffering from prosopometamorphopsia or PMO
Social Media
PMO is an extremely rare neurological disorder of perception which causes faces to appear distorted in shape, size, texture or color

With the help of researchers, he was able to recreate the faces he sees through digital representation and the images were published in The Lancet last week
