My girl Hope did something like that.
We went out back late at night and she keyed off on something. To that point I had barely ever even heard her bark, she doesn't bark for knocks at the door, or the doorbell or much of anything normally. She is pretty fearless, overly friendly and not territorial and she went totally off like the devil himself was standing in that corner.
Teeth showing, fierce deep barking and snarling, pawing up the ground tossing hunks of turf 10 feet behind her... I walked over in the corner she was looking at and there was nothing there.
I looked back at her and she was there 6 feet away looking right through me still going off on whatever she thought she sensed, and it made my hair stand up and gave me goosebumps. I certainly would not want her looking at me for real and going off like that.
For a couple of weeks after every time I let her out back she would run out and growl and bark at that corner by the gate. It's the only time since I rescued her I have seen what her aggressive potential looks like.
