We consider the PT symmetric flat Friedmann model of two scalar fields withpositive kinetic terms. While the potential of one ("normal") field is takenreal, that of the other field is complex. We study a complex classical solutionof the system of the two Klein-Gordon equations together with the Friedmannequation. The solution for the normal field is real while the solution for thesecond field is purely imaginary, realizing classically the "phantom" behavior.The energy density and pressure are real and the corresponding geometry iswell-defined. The Lagrangian for the linear perturbations has the correctpotential signs for both the fields, so that the problem of stability does notarise. The background dynamics is determined by an effective action includingtwo real fields one normal and one "phantom". Remarkably, the phantom phase inthe cosmological evolution is transient and the Big Rip never occurs. Our modelis contrasted to well-known quintom models, which also include one normal andone phantom fields.

Phantom without phantom or how the PT symmetry saves us from the Big Rip
