Plural of fantom; multiple ghosts, specters, or illusory things.
The standard plural of the archaic spelling 'fantom.' This form appears frequently in older English literature and historical texts referring to multiple supernatural beings or illusory phenomena.
In Gothic literature, authors preferred 'fantoms' to 'phantoms'—the spelling itself seemed to add to the spooky atmosphere, making the word sound like something whispered in a haunted house rather than spoken in daylight.
