This is not, nor should it be, a list of every rock formation that someone, somewhere thinks looks kinda like a person. Some entries are notable enough for their own articles. These clearly belong. Others are mere claims that such a formation exists. Without citation to independent reliable sources, these clearly do not belong. I have marked them "cite needed" and will begin clearing them out shortly. Cite 'em or lose 'em. - SummerPhD (talk) 04:09, 15 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Shawinigan, Québec, has a rock that resembles an old lady, giving the name to the former city of Grand-Mère, now a part of the city of Shawinigan since 2002. It resembles an old woman with a bun at the base of her head ("grand-mère" is French for grandmother). The rock formation was pulled from the bottom of the Saint-Maurice River in the 19th century before the construction of a dam and is now in a small park overlooking the river.[citation needed]
Mount Makiling. Legends surround the mountain, many of which relate to Maria Makiling, said to be the 'guardian fairy' of the mountain. The contour of the mountain is said to be that of her in a reclining position
The Heathen Maiden near Kranjska Gora, in the Julian Alps. The legend of its origin - a pagan deity ("Maiden") was turned into stone - is associated with another local legend, that of the Goldhorn.
The Mourne Mountains in Northern Ireland when viewed from a northerly direction resemble a man lying down, with Slieve Binnian forming the man's facial features. Local legend says that the mountains formed when the Irish giant Fionn mac Cumhaill (anglicised as Finn McCool) lay down to sleep.
The Winking Man upon The Roaches in Staffordshire resembles the side profile of a man. A hole in the rock appears as an 'eye'. As a passerby drives along the A53 road in either direction, the formation appears to wink due to parallax.
