What Causes Hallucinations?

My friend has concerns that she visually saw a women walking past her (nothing significant about that ) however a few minutes later she saw the saw exact thing in her mind. Similar thing happened twice but different things she saw and then saw it again. She was worried about her mind or brain. Young in her early 50 s, school teacher and sharp as a tac with no issues. Just a quiet day standing in line waiting to purchase tickets when this happened. Not in the heat or any issues which would be the thought that could cause this.
