‘It’s Like Staring at Demons’: Meet a Man Who Lives With a Disturbing Condition
Tumblr media
For 59-year-old Victor Sharrah, the terrifying symptoms began on a winter day in Nashville.
“I just woke up and was sitting on the couch watching TV when my roommate came into the room, and (looking at him) I’m like, ‘What am I seeing?’ Then his girlfriend walked in and her face was the same,” Sharrah told CNN.
Each of the once-familiar faces had a grotesque grimace, elongated eyes and deeply etched scars. When turned to the side, pointy ears suddenly appeared, he said, much like those of Spock, the Vulcan first officer on the USS Enterprise in Star Trek...
Sharrah has a rare condition called prosopometamorphopsia, or PMO, in which parts of the faces of other people appear distorted in shape, texture, position or color.

"It’s also not clear what causes PMO, though researchers suspect it results from issues in the parts of the brain that handle facial processing."

Imagine if every time you saw a face, it appeared distorted. Well, for those who have a very rare condition known as prosopometamorphopsia (PMO), which causes facial features to appear distorted, that is reality. [...] A new Dartmouth study reports on a unique case of a patient with PMO. The research is the first to provide accurate and photorealistic visualizations of the facial distortions experienced by an individual with PMO.
The patient, a 58-year-old male with PMO, sees faces without any distortions when they are viewed on a screen and on paper, but he sees distorted faces that appear "demonic" when viewed in-person.

The Lancet:
A 58-year-old man with a 31-month history of seeing peoples’ faces as distorted and, in his words, appearing “demonic” visited our laboratory for assessment. The patient stated that the distortions—severely stretched features of the face, with deep grooves on the forehead, cheeks, and chin—were present on every person's face he encountered, but he reported no distortions when looking at objects, such as houses or cars. The patient said that even though faces were distorted, he was still able to recognise who they were. Notably, he reported no distortions when viewing facial images on a screen or on paper. The distortions were not accompanied by delusional beliefs about the identities of the people he encountered—such as his family or friends.

What causes prosopometamorphopsia, the rare 'demon-face' syndrome PMO
Victor Sharrah had always been a social person, but for the past three years, he’s found himself more withdrawn. That’s because ever since he woke up one day in November 2020, Sharrah, 59, has been seeing people’s faces distorted or as he put it like “demons.” “I woke up one morning that way and freaked out,” Sharrah told USA TODAY. Sharrah is one of the very few people in the world with…
