Haptics is the science of applying touch sensation to interact with computer applications. Just as with phantom limbs the sensation of the limb is still felt, phantom haptics occurs when the sensations associated with an electronic device is still felt even when that device is not physically in contact with the body.
I have experienced phantom haptics when I am not wearing my Apple Watch. I still feel my watch telling me to stand up even though I am not wearing it.

F4 Phantom is a cold war era fighter bomber jet. During the vietnam war, F4s are used extensively in Vietnam. Its main enemy is the MiG-21. The jet, with afterburner on, can exceed mach 2 and it can carry 4 AIM-7 Sparrow air to air missile or the more advanced AIM-9 sidewinders, more than 8000kg of bombs, external fuel tanks, guided bombs and air to ground missiles for ground attack missions. The earlier models didn't include any cannon, just air to air missiles, however the later models did include a 20mm M61 Vulcan rotary cannon. There are 2 crews consisting of the pilor and a weapon system officer. The jet, with its heavy airframe, can reach mach 2.2 with its afterburning General Electric J79 engine. The Phantoms have a advanced radar system which can alert the crews of incoming threats even beyond visual range. The Phantoms also have a monitor for the pilot to see the radar pings, which was a very advanced technology back in the 60s. Around 5200 of these fighter jets were produced in the span of over 20 years.

When you have money in your bank account, but it can't be used because you are waiting for a bill to post from an automated payment. This usually causes frustration because you want to go on a shopping spree with that money.
I have $1000 in my checking account but I can't use it because my car insurance is due and its $850. Stupid phantom money!

There twenty people on a bus. One guy passes that stink goul fart very quietly with nobody the wiser and gets off at the next stop. Ten seconds after he's gone, everybody wants to know who farted. Somebody shouts "phantom farter stikes again"
