I have written about this "Tiki Ghosting" in an old Tiki News, and recently in reply to Sabu's "Old Tiki found in Mar Vista, CA":

I can tell you are suffering from (or blessed by) advanced Tiki oversensitization. This is usually diagnosed when the "Tiki-in-the-corner-of-the-eye" symptom occurs, which is a drive by phenomenon. Cruising through urban blight and clutter, all of a sudden one believes to have seen a Tiki in passing. Most of the time it turns out to be a hedge or a sign post, sometimes one can see the shape of a Tiki in it.

This happens after prolonged Tiki hunting on fleamarkets and thrift stores, or the opposite way, after being deprived of Tiki imagery for long periods.
If these Tiki apparitions continue under normal conditions and modest Tiki exposure, a week of Tiki fasting might be beneficial.

In extreme cases, a therapy akin to Stanley Kubricks Clockwork Orange Eye lid clamp sequence might be neccessary.
