Taking its inspiration from the Ghost of Fiddler's Pond, the Phantom Critic goes around Lake County visiting different places without letting know of his presence. Then he just leaves but not without showing a sign of his intentions there.
The Phantom Critic wanders around locations or events where he can leave a mark, or in this case, an impression of what he just experienced during his visit.
Beware of the Phantom Critic as he may be sitting next to you!
