A group of seemingly burnt, ghostly figures resembling old foes who sporadically appear throughout Fazbear’s Fright. However, they cannot actually harm you, instead acting as distractions that also cause errors, making it easier for Springtrap to get to you. Contrary to popular belief, they appear ''not'' because of faulty ventilation (the danger mentioned by Phone Dude in Night 1 actually refers to the multiple appearances of Springtraps in the cameras); all of them have different triggers not connected to the ventilation. Upon watching the ending in hindsight, they also serve as a {{Foreshadowing}} to the fire that will ravage Fazbear's Fright at the end of the week.

Foxy's Phantom counterpart, specifically based on Withered Foxy minus his hook hand. Much like the original Foxy, he heavily dislikes being watched, and is notable for being the only phantom to directly appear in the office. He'll stand on the box of parts, possibly because it has the arm he’s missing.

* GhostlyGoals: The interpretation of them as ghosts sets up two possibilities: either they are the ghosts of past victims trying to scare you out of Fazbear's Fright because you are in danger around Springtrap and/or they knew or caused [[spoiler:Fazbear's Fright to burn down and didn't want you to die in the fire]]… ''or'' they are extensions of one ghost, that is the Murderer's, trying to unbalance you and screw with your equipment for Springtrap to strike.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: They didn't appear in the [[http://i.imgur.com/MsyIP5B.jpg original final group shot]]. Justified, since they're simply duplicates of older animatronics. However, they are appearing as part of the ''Five Nights at Freddy's World'' teaser, [[http://www.scottgames.com/fnafworld.jpg sporting the same cute-style as the other characters]].

Despite mostly being reduced to props in the horror attraction, some of the Fazbear cast are still around to give you the spooks. However, they cannot actually harm you. Contrary to popular belief, they appear ''not'' because of faulty ventilation (the danger mentioned by Phone Dude in Night 1 actually refers to the multiple appearances of Springtraps in the cameras); all of them have different triggers not connected to the ventilation. Upon watching the ending in hindsight, they also serve as a {{Foreshadowing}} to the fire that will ravage Fazbear's Fright at the end of the week. Note that despite their inability to kill you, they can certainly give you a good scare and give Springtrap time to get you, as triggering one will disable the audio and/or the ventilation.

Freddy's Phantom counterpart, who shares the same model as Withered Golden Freddy but is supposedly based on Withered Freddy.

Chica's Phantom counterpart, specifically based on Classic Chica.

Balloon Boy's Phantom counterpart.

The Puppet's Phantom counterpart.

Mangle's Phantom counterpart.

Foxy's Phantom counterpart, specifically based on Withered Foxy.

* ToothyBird: As is the standard for Chica's incarnations.

* NoFairCheating: Think you can just have Springtrap stand by the door or window and then stare at him endlessly to win the night? Wrong: trying this will result in Phantom Freddy jumping you [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard with no wind-up or warning]], allowing Springtrap to move in for the kill. Although, most of the time, it's the ventilation failing that gets the player, as it'll disable over time if you're not in either monitor.

* EvilCripple: He walks limps through the corridor behind the windows because of what seems to be a missing leg.

!The Phantom Hallucinations

Despite mostly being reduced to props in the horror attraction, some of the Fazbear cast are still around to give you the spooks. However, they are merely hallucinations and cannot actually harm you. Contrary to popular belief, they appear ''not'' because of faulty ventilation (the danger mentioned by Phone Dude in Night 1 actually refers to the multiple appearances of Springtraps in the cameras); all of them have different triggers not connected to the ventilation. Upon watching the ending in hindsight, they also serve as a {{Foreshadowing}} to the fire that will ravage Fazbear's Fright at the end of the week. Note that despite their inability to kill you, they can certainly give you a good scare and give Springtrap time to get you, as triggering one will disable the audio and/or the ventilation.

* {{Hallucinations}}: They are all this, so they thankfully can't kill you. Doesn't make the fact that they ''will'' jumpscare you and they look like more decrepit versions of Freddy, Chica, Foxy, Balloon Boy, and the Puppet any more comforting. They can, however, give Springtrap more time to get closer to you, since you need to restart the ventilation that most of them disable after their jumpscare.

* MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: Officially, they're just hallucinations. However, they're also called "phantoms", and there's little indication on why the protagonist would know so much about the "ancient" pizzeria's history (Mangle, for example). The two most common interpretations are that they're paranoia-induced hallucinations combining the fear of the animatronics with the anxiety about fire risk, or that the spirits have returned to Fazbear's Fright and are trying to frighten you away. On the matter of the protagonist knowing them, this is quite likely because he might be [[spoiler:Michael Afton]].

* WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises: They all appear to have this since their eyes are literally only a glowing white iris in a field of blackness.

Freddy's Phantom counterpart, specifically based on Withered Golden Freddy and/or Withered Freddy.

* BearsAreBadNews: Considering that he's just a hallucination, he's only mildly bad news. Still gonna cause you problems, though.

* EvilCripple: He walks slowly through the corridor behind the windows because of what seems to be a limp caused by a missing leg.
* JustIgnoreIt: The best strategy to deal with him. Spot him walking ominously behind the window? Just forget that he ever showed up there and open the monitor. Y'know, like how you deal with Golden Freddy in the first game.

* YouDontLookLikeYou: While called Phantom Freddy, the hallucination more closely resembles ''Golden'' Freddy, since they share the same appearance as in ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys2'' (hat at irregular position, missing ear, wires where said missing ear should be, and has a golden tint).
** In ''Help Wanted'', he more resembles to OG Freddy.

* TheCameo: Her full-screen face image...thing appears one a monitor in the ''[=FNaF=] 3''-themed office in ''Ultimate Custom Night''.

* TookALevelInBadass: In the ''2'', Balloon Boy was somewhat of a threat, but could still be easily warded off using the mask. Here, however, he can randomly appear on any of the cameras, jump-scaring you if you don't clock away and making you waste time rebooting the ventilation system. He also looks much, ''much'' more scary than last time. Subverted in ''Ultimate Custom Night''; he's still an issue, but far less of one compared to the other monitor-based animatronics.

* CallBack: When you trigger the Puppet hallucination, it just ''stares'' at you... just like it did to Freddy.

* InterfaceScrew: Will play awful garbled noises, preventing you from hearing Springtrap's footsteps and also disabling the audio system when [[AmbiguousGender he/she]] is triggered. (And since the audio system is what you use to lure Springtrap away... good luck surviving if he's anywhere near the office!)

* FoulFox: Phantom Foxy is just a hallucination, so he can't kill you, but he will give you a nasty JumpScare and give Springtrap more time to get to you.
* HookHand: One of only two versions of Foxy to avert this (the other being Funtime Foxy), as his right forearm is missing. However, said forearm is in the box with the salvaged Toy animatronic parts.
* JustIgnoreIt: Like Phantom Freddy. However, the timing window is very short here, or rather, ''not there at all''. The ''moment'' you glimpse him standing near the box of animatronic parts from putting down the monitor, ''bring that damn monitor back up again''.

** In ''Help Wanted'', he more resembles to OG Foxy.

Freddy's Phantom counterpart, specifically based on Withered Golden Freddy.

* ArtEvolution: ''Help Wanted'' brings some of them back and amps up the Phantom motif, making them far more transparent and, as a result, showing their endo-skeletons.
