Sounds like something I once did. I walked into a shop and, through a series
of misadventures, zapped the shopkeeper with a wand of invisibility. You have
run into a ghost level where someone has done this. You probably tried to walk
into the apparently empty (but for the ghost and dog) shop but marched straight
into the invisible shopkeeper.
