    “ Sensory Ghosts: Patient History,” comes from the term originally
    used by the nineteenth-century neurologist Silas Weir Mitchell to
    describe the sensations, often painful, experienced by patients after
    losing a limb. Mitchell wrote that such patients carry “a constant or
    inconstant phantom of the missing member, a sensory ghost ...
    sometimes a most inconvenient presence, faintly felt at the time,
    but ready to be called up to his perception by a blow, a touch, or a
    change of wind,” ( Injuries of Nerves and Their Consequences, 1872).
    More recently, doctors have referred to this phenomenon as a
    “phantom limb.”
