Phantom Pepper

Just watched a video by Bishop Brad on youtube about the 'new' phantom pepper. It was grown out by Mike Hess. Check out the video, it's alright. He's a little goofy, and has a dallas cowboy puke can. Two pluses in my book.lol
 
 No, I don't kno how to embed the video. Sorry ya'll.
 
Most interesting. It's probably pure coincidence but 幻の唐辛子, the true name of what is being sold as Tokuyama Togarashi powder in japan, translates to "Phantom Pepper" also.
I would assume that it were simply a mistranslated Ghost Pepper if there hadn't been pictures but the news articles on that chilli are nolonger available. I'd love it if there were some connection between the two, no matter how unlikely that is.
