He will slowly materialize in your office, fading-in from nothing. Shining your flashlight at him is the only way to make him disappear again. If he fully materializes, he will jumpscare you and cause you to black-out temporarily.
Phantom Freddy is one of the secondary antagonists and six phantom animatronics who first appeared in Five Nights at Freddy's 3. He is a damaged and burnt hallucination of Freddy Fazbear from the second game.
Appearance
Looks:
Phantom Freddy closely resembles Golden Freddy from Five Nights at Freddy's 2 but displays notable differences. He has white, pin-pricked pupils similar to the other phantoms and appears charred or burnt, potentially foreshadowing the fire that consumed the establishment. His mouth often hangs open, and his teeth seem slightly green, though this is likely due to lighting effects. A unique detail is the wire protruding from his left eye socket, as seen in Ultimate Custom Night, which Golden Freddy lacked. His overall coloration appears golden or green, likely a result of his burnt appearance or the green hue prevalent in the game’s visuals. His lower legs are not fully visible in-game, but his walking animation shows that his lower right leg is torn and heavily damaged.
Regular Clothes:
Phantom Freddy does not wear clothes, as he is an animatronic.
Special Clothes:
In Five Nights at Freddy's: Help Wanted, Phantom Freddy takes on a new look by using Classic Freddy’s model from the original Five Nights at Freddy's. His body is partially transparent, revealing parts of his endoskeleton beneath, and his costume exhibits wear and tear, with visible rips that enhance his damaged appearance.

Threat Level:Mental Threat (Phantom Freddy is an illusionary phantom made by Springtrap that deters the night guard while Springtrap gets to the office)
Attack Potency:Unknown: True level (Despite being remade, it still appears that Phantom Freddy cannot actually cause harm to anyone as he's still not a spirit-given form)
Intelligence:Unknown Intelligence (While patrolling as an ordinary animatronic, Phantom Freddy has shown to be well aware of his surroundings and even attempts to trick the night guard in question)
Phantom Freddy has no movement pattern, however, he can occasionally appear in the hallway, right in front of the player, slowly shuffling to the left, before ducking down, as if hiding. The player must be viewing either the Monitor or the Maintenance Panel until Phantom Freddy finishes walking across the length of the window to avoid triggering his jumpscare. If the player fails to do this while Phantom Freddy is wandering, he will duck down, completely removing himself from the player's sight. He will then jumpscare the player a few moments later.
Phantom Freddy will be noticed slowly appearing out of thin air within the Office. The player is required to use their flashlight (by pressing the Z button) until Phantom Freddy entirely disappears. If Phantom Freddy appears fully solid, he will jumpscare the player, causing them to black-out for a few seconds.
Weaknesses: Will temporarily go away if shined with a light.
Note
This version of Phantom Freddy is primarily using Ultimate Custom Night as its basis due to its appearance in FNaF 3 is only an illusion, whereas this one appears to be a creation due to being both made by Golden Freddy and can be summoned by Dee Dee.
