Phact: Wherever three or more Downers are, the phantom is there also.
Phact: When the phantom looks into the mirror of Galadriel, he sees only himself.
Phact: When Mandos pronounced a doom upon the phantom that he didn't like, the phantom turned a cold shoulder. That shoulder is the Helcaraxe.
Phact: Gollum thought the time had come to ask something hard and horrible. This is what he said:
This thing all things devours
Birds, beasts, trees, flowers
Gnaws iron, bites steel
Grinds hard stones to meal
Slays king, ruins town
And beats high mountains down
Unfortunately for Gollum Bilbo had heard that sort of thing before; and the answer was all around him any way. "the phantom!" he said without even scratching his head or putting on his thinking cap.
Phact: the phantom can carry it for you.
Phact: the phantom can simply walk into Mordor.
Phact: the phantom never, ever drops eaves.
Phact: the phantom really, really likes it when people talk about him.
