Is it possible to get a false positive?

Question

And does anyone else see the lines?

Answer

That isn't a fake positive that's an evaporation line. These appear after the time recommend, any lines that appear after this time should be disregarded

Answer

I'm not saying this is your situation, but the same thing happened to me. BFN right after I took the test & I looked at it a few hours later and it had a bold pink line indicating a positive. Turned out I was pregnant.
