Sounds like ghosts...

You didn't state what kind of shifters you have, so it's hard to determine. If ya have cheapo thumb shifters you may need to tighten a screw or bolt that goes through the assembly. If it's too loose, the ratcheting mechanism may not catch. If it's too tight it will be hard to shift. It's just a guess without more info.
