The school's hired prom photographer was positioning students for the traditional group shot when the summoning ritual hidden in the decorations activated, the camera's flash synchronizing perfectly with the portal's opening. Caught in the dimensional rift while documenting the initial demonic manifestations, they became trapped between worlds, neither fully alive nor completely dead. Now they wander the desert course compulsively photographing the ongoing supernatural events, their images serving as the only proof of what really happened that night.

The Phantom Photographer appears as a Calavera skull wearing a vintage camera around their neck and a torn formal vest from prom night, their form flickering between solid and translucent like an old photograph. Their antique camera has been corrupted by demonic energy, its lens now glowing with hellfire and capable of capturing supernatural phenomena invisible to normal sight. The developed photos they leave behind show glimpses of the demonic realm overlapping with reality, often revealing hidden threats or supernatural activity in seemingly normal locations. Their presence is accompanied by the distinctive sound of a camera shutter and the acrid smell of developing chemicals mixed with sulfur.

The Phantom Photographer serves as an unwilling chronicler of the ongoing supernatural events, compulsively documenting evidence of the demonic invasion while their very presence warns survivors that the boundary between worlds remains dangerously thin. Their supernatural photographs occasionally provide crucial intelligence about demonic movements or hidden portals, making encounters with them both valuable and unsettling.
