'Ghost Touches'

So, I got a replacement for my 6S (previous had a sticky power button resulting in many screenshots of my lock screen), and have been noticing random occurrences of the the screen detecting false touches. This has resulted in the screen swiping itself right, inability to backspace as it seems to be detecting other keyboard keys being pressed at the same time, etc. It also seems as thought the bottom portion of the screen becomes a deadzone at times. Created a little video demonstrating this.

Anyone else seen this and know of a fix (other than a replacement or repair)? Turning the screen off and on again usually recovers from the behavior.
