This did happen to me once. The elevator made a funny sound and then it felt like it was descending much faster than usual. My mind chimed in and told me “YES. THIS IS ELEVATOR IS FALLING! But only kinda falling, don’t worry.” The numbers seemed to count down faster and then *bing*, ground floor. And then I was totally ok, but I had a mild internal freak out that no one else saw.
