Calendrical pareidolia is the phenomenon of responding to a calendar-based stimulus by perceiving a familiar pattern where none exists (pareidolia):

Calendrical stimuli include events such as births and deaths, occurring on the same day in the calendar but otherwise evidencing no causal relationship — and yet of interest.

This article was originally titled Calendrical coincidences.

  • Days of the year (nonfiction)
  • Pareidolia (nonfiction) - a psychological phenomenon in which the mind responds to a stimulus, usually an image or a sound, by perceiving a familiar pattern where none exists (e.g., in random data). Common examples are perceived images of animals, faces, or objects in cloud formations, the Man in the Moon, the Moon rabbit, hidden messages within recorded music played in reverse or at higher- or lower-than-normal speeds, and hearing indistinct voices in random noise such as that produced by air conditioners or fans.
