Dark matter and dark energy being simply the activity of other metrics moving energy (possibly even mass) around in higher dimensional space, BUT, with spatial and perhaps temporal [dimensional] connectivity to our spacetime.
So what we might see is unexplainable [apparent] movement of mass/energy in spacetime, attributed to higher dimensional metric carry-over values into spacetime. These effects could be local, as in the case of dark matter, or perhaps universal, as in the case of dark energy.
No phantoms, only shadows of metric ghosts; energetic activity occurring elsewhere.
Let's call it 'Metric Ghosting'.
Just take the Randell-Sundrum model to the next logical stage, ie higher dimensional gravitational effects cascading down into spacetime. Yeah?!
