SPL

I've read some weird shit in my time, but this one kinda tops it all. As posted on Fantoms & Munsters, "a 64-year-old woman (who suffered a stroke a few days earlier) has reported to doctors at Geneva University Hospital the presence of a pale, milky-white and translucent third arm". This rare but credible - and clinically proven - neurological phenomenon is known as a supernumerary phantom limb (SPL). Apparently, the said woman "can use the apparitional extremity to relieve very real itches on the cheek", although it cannot penetrate solid objects. Not sure if this should be filed under 'sad' or 'scary'.
