Yesterday I was out with a friend at the casino. I was talking with her and briefly mentioned i had to tie my shoe. I bent down tied it and when I looked up she was nowhere to be seen. I text her and she did not respond right away. I started wondering is she was ever there or if I was there by myself. I Started to panic and then she came back from around the corner.
The other weird thing that happens more frequently is I get this strange sensation of being side swiped by a car or of someone breaking into my house. It's not really a hallucination because I know it's not there and I can't actually see it. It's almost like a flashback that didn't happen. The sensation is there but not the hallucination.
Does anyone else experience either of these too and if do do you know what causes it?

1. Yes that's happened to me. Almost the exact same thing, with people disappearing. But I start panicking more over losing my bearings, though, and not being sure of where I am, rather than not being sure if the other person was there. Almost like somehow the world has shifted, I've been spun around somehow, and things don't look familiar.
2. Yes, yes! This happened to me recently, when I went off my meds. I thought there was a zombie outside my window, on my fire escape, while I was smoking a cigarette out the window. I couldn't see it, but I could
feel it, and felt like I could reach out and
touch it. When I went into my living room, I sensed/imagined a zombie dog outside my living room window. There is no terrace or fire escape out there, it just drops straight to the ground, but I believed it was there. I knew logically, that there were no zombies. But it was like dangling on a precipice. I believed I could reach out and touch.
It is like a hallucination, but you can't see it, but it's there. I know exactly what you're talking about.
I don't know what causes it, however.
