I've had these episodes since I was a kid. On or off weed as well as psychedelics. I might have even had felt them drunk but I can't remember :)
When I was a teen they were severe existential crises each time, I even called this "The Feeling" since it defied a name, like a scary villain that can't be mentioned. Went to the hospital with it once but I felt better in the waiting room.
The Feeling has never gone away yet after decades it's become a friend.
To be removed from your own skin, depersonalized, is also a really good thing. It's a real awareness and it points to consciousness of something other than your (default) self.
Once you are no longer afraid of it you will find nothing but wonder on the other side of your everyday sense of self. I know it feels scary and as alienating as hell but at least for my own situation those ghosts disappeared with a nice (green filtered) flashlight on them.
