My mother once commented on a house that had "disappeared" between visits. She said it wasn't there when she came to see us the second time and wanted to know why it had gone.

I discovered later that it was there and looked as she described but it had apparently burned down many years before. She was quite insistent about it.

Do a Google search to see if one is mentioned on the road where you believe you saw it.

That is strange. A little bit eerie too as though you were seeing something not there any more.
Perhaps the antique shop wasn't selling antiques at the time.
I would want to know if there were shops there at one time or if there were shops on another road and I had maybe taken the wrong turn.

What a very strange and puzzling experience. You must have been 'time travelling'. But which way? Back in time or in the future? Is there any one in the area who you can ask about the history of the place where you 'saw' the shops?

Something very strange happened to me this week.

We are down in Sussex looking after our 2 grandsons. On one of the days one of the schools was on strike so we took our eldest to the local small town where he met up with some friends to play football in the local park.

When we collected him from the park we started to drive back along the road we very occasionally use and as I looked out through the window I saw a small row of shops set back from the road. I said to my DH ‘there is an antique shop there we must visit it sometime’.

The next day I arrived early to collect my DGS from school. I decided to pop along to the shops I had seen the day before to see if I could have a quick look around the antique shop. However when I walked back along that road there were NO shops just houses! 😳

I had not had any drugs/alcohol and felt completely normal. I can see those shops clearly in my mind’s eye. How strange and rather unsettling.
