Digital Phantom

Digital Phantom is a found footage horror short following podcast hosts Mike and Jessie as they explore the abandoned Miller House in Limerick City. Known for chasing paranormal content, the duo pushes things too far—taunting and provoking whatever might still be lurking in the house.

The film taps into the obsession with ghost-hunting videos, horror podcasts, and viral content. Using a found footage style helps make the scares feel real and personal, as if we’re watching something that wasn’t meant for public eyes.

At its core, Digital Phantom is about what happens when people treat real danger as entertainment. It’s a creepy, tension-filled look at how far content creators will go for views—and the consequences of crossing that line.

Set in a grounded urban location and driven by atmosphere over flashy effects, this short delivers both scares and a subtle critique of internet culture.
