"See something out of the corner of your eye" hallucinations

[Democracy White]

I hate these things, just a few minutes ago I swear I saw light and an angel very briefly on my left.
Then I keep seeing black spots, like ghosts flitting around that I swear are bugs or something.

Does anyone else have these things?

2. This happens to me a lot.

To my mother, too. My mother's eye doctor told her it was sun damage from UV rays. I haven't had health insurance for 6 years, so I have no idea what my eye doctor would diagnose.

5. Glimpses into parallel dimensions. Cats see them too.

and for longer than we do

If we could build a machine that would temporarily merge our realities....

...Scientists create a resonator to stimulate the pineal gland (sixth sense), and open up a door to a parallel universe...

6. Floaters

Floaters in your eye at the edge of visibility are most often the cause of this.

Not to get all Scully on your Moulder. :)

Floaters: Small specks or clouds moving in your field of vision are called floaters. You may see them more clearly when looking at a plain background, such as a blank wall. Floaters are actually tiny clumps of gel or cells inside the vitreous, the clear jelly-like fluid that fills the inside of your eye. Floaters can have different shapes, such as little dots, circles, lines clouds or cobwebs.

While these objects look like they are in front of your eye, they are actually floating inside. What you see are the shadows they cast on the retina, the nerve layer at the back of the eye that senses light and allows you to see.

When people reach middle age, the vitreous gel may start to thicken or shrink, forming clumps or strands inside the eye. Floaters often occur when the vitreous gel pulls away from the back wall of the eye, causing a posterior vitreous detachment. In some cases the retina can tear if the shrinking vitreous gel pulls away from the wall of the eye. A torn retina is always a serious problem, since it can lead to a retinal detachment.

The appearance of floaters may be alarming, especially if they develop suddenly. You should see an ophthalmologist right away if you suddenly develop new floaters, especially if you are over 45 years of age.

7. For weeks

after putting a beloved pet to sleep, I kept seeing him out of the corner of my eye.
