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.

Phantom Manor, Located in Disneyland Paris (formerly known as Disneyland Euro),Phantom Manor is the European version of the classic Disney attraction The Haunted Mansion. This version unlike any otherHaunted Mansion attraction has a clear storyline about a bride,her father(the phantom) and the husband to-be. The manor was originally narrated in English by Vincent Price but doe to some disagreements with French officials the ride is narrated in French by:Gerard Chevalier. This version is so far (not including to up and coming HKDL version of The Haunted Mansion) that doesn't include the Hitchhiking Ghosts but still has the mirrors that doe show you that a "ghost" is very near you. Also a another fact about this ride that the storyline comes from a mixture of the Haunted Mansion storyline and the storyline of The Phantom of The Opera.
