I havent't directly experienced this in real life, although this is
well known with TV and movies.

However, in real life a similar effect can happen if a dense sequence of
e.g. fence posts is in between, which creates a quasi-sampled situation
while moving along.

But then, you are on sdiy - so the possibility of you being nuts isn't
completely invalid ;-)
