headlights on, car off? strange incident

has this ever happened to any of you?

I parked the car, turned off the headlights, got out, locked it and walked away......
turned back to look at the car and realised that the headlights were on..... so I went back to the car.... looked at the headlight control and it was in the off position.... there was no beeping sound either indicating that the lights were on
very strange.... something wrong??

That happened to me once, but it turned out to be the sun reflecting off the lights, from a slight angle it looked exactly like the lights were on. I even checked my car too, us canadians have DRL's and I figured they must have got stuck on some how.
Just something to check next time.
