We stopped for lunch at an old mansion in the countryside that had been converted into a restaurant and I KNEW I had been in that very house before; I was sure of it. While we were waiting to be seated and my father was talking to the proprietor of the restaurant, I pointed to a closet door under the stairs and told both my father and the owner, "There is a switchboard in that closet." The owner looked very surprised and said that there wasn't a switchboard in the closet now, but there was originally when he bought the property. The house had been used during the war as a headquarters for the military.

I've been through Europe a few times, although not recently, and I got deja vu frequently.
