Being a construction of your humble blogger Tepid Halibut, with the aim of posting one vintage slide image per day, from now until Kingdom Come. (Or until Mr Halibut gets bored.)

The Ghost In The Machine
Yes, another medical slide, and to my untrained eye it appears to be a torso / spine.
The post's title just came to me in a flash, and it's worth having a read of the Wikipedia article. The title is a phrase coined by the Oxford philosopher Gilbert Ryle to describe the Cartesian dualist account of the mind–body relationship. Koestler shares with Ryle the view that the mind of a person is not an independent non-material entity, temporarily inhabiting and governing the body.
It's also an Album by The Police, which has my fave track of theirs.
