- Dismembered limbs, a severed head, a hand cut off at the wrist, as in a fairy tale of Wilhelm Hauff's, feet which dance by themselves, as in the book by Albrecht Schaeffer which I mentioned above--all these have something peculiarly uncanny about them, especially when, as in the last instance, they prove capable of independent activity in addition. --The Uncanny (1919) - Sigmund Freud
