Is it normal to briefly see people who aren't there?

I see people who aren't there briefly out of the corner of my eye and then they disappear. Does anyone else have this?

    I recently saw a black figure leaning over a chair in my living room while I was walking down the stairs.

    Despite not believing in anything supernatural it did make me jump, a combination of sleep deprivation and my visual snow,

    I'd be hard pressed to fond someone who's mind hasn't played the corner of the eye trick on them

    The idea of something humanoid is creepy to me.
    :-S
    A little over 12 years ago I was working the graveyard shift as a stocker at Target and I saw something. The lights in the store are rather dim after hours and I must have been sleep deprived as well as sensory deprived. Well, I was walking down an isle of the shoe department and briefly what appeared to be a cougar walked directly in front of me, turned it's head, looked at me and then *POOF* it disappeared. To be completely honest I wasn't frightened at all and knew immediately that it was a hallucination. I rather enjoyed the experience and was kinda hoping it would happen again sometime.
    :-)

      I used to have problem with insomnia ( worse than I do now) and after a prolonged state of no sleep it felt like tripping, when it got to this point I would drink a ton of coffee and just enjoy the halloucinations.

      Has to stop doing it though, it's not healthy and my body just couldn't take it

  • I have this quite often. Sometimes I think I hear things, too. I am almost sure that it is just things in that direction that form somewhat of a humanoid shape without full visual focus on.

    There was this one time where I was having sleep paralysis and my heart was racing to the point I thought I was going to die (I could hear and feel my heart going way too fast) and when I opened my eyes slightly I am sure I seen a figure in a long black cloak and long hair, pale as ever and white'ish hair that covered the top of their face all while I was going through it.

    Here's hoping to us not being schizophrenics.

    You are one of the lucky few who can spot a ninja.

    You should learn kung fu - ninjas become aggressive when they realize they've been detected.

    I've had this in fact it recurred last night for the first time in awhile, for me it's usually mice or so it appears - quick moving dark spots close to the ground/walls but slightly bigger than insects. I read it is a precursor to migraines and i do feel one coming on, idk if you get them too
