I've got one better. Submitted an application for a company, didn't hear back. Got a new job in the meantime and about 2 months after I submitted my application, I got an e-mail from their head of HR, like not from a no-reply address but a persons specific e-mail at the company, saying they really enjoyed their time interviewing me and thanking me for coming out to their office. Only I never did any of that, never had received anything outside of the original confirmation e-mail that they had received my application. Probably the strangest experience I've had while looking for jobs. I actually e-mailed the person back in a reply letting him know he never actually interviewed me nor did I ever visit the office. His response was something like "Thanks for the heads up." Didn't even apologize.
