When you could swear that you felt your phone go off in your pocket. But then upon checking, you discover your phone wasn't even in your pocket.
That's weird, I just had some Phantom vibes...I thought I felt my phone go off, then I realized I left it in the car.

referring to a parking space in a full parking lot, occupied by a small automobile, making it appear that there is an available space. When you go to pull in you realize there is a cheap ass econobox filling your precious spot.
Gunther: Man, fuck this. There's gotta be at least one spot.
Todd: Oh dude right there!
(car begins to enter parking space)
Gunther: God dammit! That's totally a phantom space! That's why I hate Miatas!

A hangover that is caused by the body being conditioned to consumption of alcohol, and triggered by memory/repetition.
If every Friday you get drunk, and have a hangover every Saturday as a result, your body becomes conditioned to feeling hungover upon waking up every Saturday.
If one friday you do not drink, but wake up feeling hungover anyway, due to your body just plain being used to the routine, you are the victim of a phantom hangover.
***Not an official medical condition, but it happens.
