I'm running low on ideas for this one. Anyone else ? If the phantom node is not listed in the ring, other nodes should not be storing hints for it. You can see what nodes they are storing hints for via JConsole.
You can try a rolling restart passing the JVM opt -Dcassandra.load_ring_state=false However if the phantom node is been passed around in the gossip state it will probably just come back again.
