Victor Sharrah, a 59-year-old man from Tennessee, was diagnosed with prosopometamorphopsia (PMO), an extremely rare neurological disorder that causes human faces to appear distorted. More specifically, it makes them look like demons.
For Victor, this sudden change in perception occurred out of the blue in November 2020 when he woke up to see his roommate’s facial features looking like “something out of a ‘Star Trek’ movie, like a demon face.”
“My first thought was I woke up in a demon world,” he said. “You can’t imagine how scary it was.”
