''Phantom on the Horizon'' is a concept EP by American progressive rock band The Fall of Troy that was released on November 28, 2008 through Equal Vision Records. It is the completed version of the ''Ghostship EP'' that the band released in 2004. This rerecorded version of the original demos features five "chapters" and was produced by Casey Bates (Fear Before, Chiodos, Portugal. The Man).〔 The concept behind ''Phantom on the Horizon'' tells the fictional story of a Spanish galleon meeting with a ghost ship from another dimension.〔 ==Release== The Fall of Troy began working on ''Phantom on the Horizon'' five years prior to its release〔''Phantom on the Horizon'' liner notes (2008).

In 2004, demos of some of the tracks that would later be featured on ''Phantom on the Horizon'' were leaked onto the internet and dubbed ''The Ghostship EP''.
