After years of Firefox and Chrome, I can't bear to use IE for all the phantom features
In Windows Live Messenger, or MSN, occasionally, when paste something over and over, or pressing Shift + Enter a lot, after a while, smilies will tend to appear even though they have not been typed in. This strange phenomon may be very rare, but may cause great fear. BEWARE

Saying for when in the videogame Valorant, while using the weapon "Phantom", you hit in the head an enemy from farther than 15 meters dealing 140 damage and then fail to kill said enemy.
Teammate 1: "That's so unfair!"
Teammate 2: "What happened?"
Teammate 1: "I had the perfect angle, I hit that Jett in the head but she dashed away and survived."
Teammate 2: "Phantom moment LMAO."
A paranormal phenomena who haunts the ranks of the internet. His identity and orgin remain unsolved. He is feared by all and has the entire population of the world scared when he uses his catch phrase (see boo)

When a popular social media app clearly indicates that you have an unread notification, only to reveal there are no new notifications. The only people affected by this are people that never get mentions or RTs, because important people always have hundreds of unread messages at any given time. The Phantom message is a technique the service uses to make you feel popular, even though nobody reads your lame-ass tweets.
Tim: My twizzler is blowing up. Never mind, just another phantom notification.
