The Phantom Duo

Hey everyone, I know that it has been a long time since I have posted last and I am really sorry about that. This story comes to us from The Daily WTF. I don't know if this is just a ghost story or if is true, but regardless it gave me the chills.

For as long as David B could remember, stories of The Phantom Duo were a popular pastime around the water cooler. Of course, no one had actually worked with them, but everyone knew someone who knew someone that did. And the tall tales told why.
As the story went, The Phantom Duo were corporate boogeymen who reported to no one. They’d scour the project charter, looking for healthy, on-time, and on-budget projects that they could latch-on to. Once they were assigned to a project, it was too late: anything they’d touch would crash and burn, taking everyone else with it. Obviously, since anyone who worked with The Phantom Duo would no longer be working, only hearsay and rumor supported the legend.
For the most part, The Phantom Duo served as a light-hearted response to why projects fell behind. “Yes, we’ll hit that milestone a little late,” project managers would often say, “but at least we’re safe from the you-know-who.”
