So a phantom can use magic items and I researched that it the items drop to the ground when it goes incorporeal or when manifested in the spiritualist's consciousness.
However, what about when it is in ectoplasmic form and it phase lurches through walls? Do the items drop to the ground again? That brings more questions if it can carry a creature or a bag of gold can it phase lurch through the wall?
Phase Lurch (Su)
A phantom in ectoplasmic form has the ability to pass through walls or material obstacles. In order to use this ability, it must begin and end its turn outside whatever wall or obstacle it’s moving through. An ectoplasmic phantom can’t move through corporeal creatures with this ability, and its movement speed is halved while moving through a wall or obstacle. Any surface it moves through is coated with a thin, silvery mucus that lingers for 1 minute.
Generally speaking, it should be assumed that any effect affecting you also affects your gear. Otherwise we'd get a lot of naked adventurers when they use class abilities that doesn't explicitly specify that the gear follows their teleport.
So yes, the Phantom can bring items.
It would not be able to bring a creature. But it could stuff a creature in a Bag of Holding and carry that through the barrier.

That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.
