I can't say what the cause is for you or if it's the same as what I experience, but I experience intrusive thoughts related to either intentional or accidental harm coming to others as a part of my OCD. I don't actually see anything visually, it's just in my mind,and it sounds like you see something? "Harm OCD" is what it's sometimes referred to. In my case I know I don't want to do these things, but it makes me question myself and sometimes I'll do mental compulsions or avoid situations because I am worried I will do something. Once I realized it was OCD I've been more mindful and don't engage with the thoughts so much. They also come and go with my moods.
