To continue what's already been started...

It was discovered today that The Phantom Who Be Short hoax was entirely perpetrated by one Hookbill the Goomba. Mr. Goomba, aged 19, who resides in an unspecified location in Britain reportedly confessed to a Barrow-Downs Tribune reporter today that he was the one behind the entire hoax.

"It was a natural next step for me," he is quoted as saying. "For years I'd been altering photos with Photoshop as a source of entertainment for myself and others. After such smash hits as Tol-in-Gaurhoth: The Movie and The Barrow-Wight's book for sale on Amaz.co.uk, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to capitalise on the phantom-Fea rumors. I first contacted the pair, to see if they were interested, then when they said they were, I created the image. The scandal created by its release has been immense fun, but right now I think I'm just going to go back to the quiet life coming up with Crazy Captions."

The Barrow-Wight could not be reached for comment on this new development, but a press conference is expected from him before the end of the week. A Barrow-Downs moderator, who spoke on condition of anonymity denied rumors that The Barrow-Wight was contemplating retirement in light of recent events.

"His Wightlyness has no intention of leaving his post as head of The Barrow-Downs. He has not suffered a nervous breakdown from this scandal, and he has not died and been replaced by a body double. Honestly, I don't know where you people get these ideas," the moderator told the Tribune.
