found on http://darksouls.wikidot.com/gravelord-black-phantoms           """"They will last in a player's world until the Gravelord Servant who is responsible dies or quits their game, unless the players are disconnected from each other first. If the infected player goes offline, "offline gravelording" is induced. There are no varying degrees of infection. If infected, the same enemies will always appear in the same locations in a given level. They are known to be relatively rare, typically unseen in a single playthrough of the game.

Players will often assume that their game has glitched, resulting in what they believe is a permanent Gravelord infection that manages to last for days or longer. However, there isn't sufficient evidence to support that such a glitch actually occurs. Instead, players who believe they've received a permanent infection are most likely unaware of the mechanics of offline/ disconnected Gravelording, which allows the player to unwittingly prolong the infection.
 * If an infected player loses connection with the Gravelord Servant before they die or quit properly, the Black Phantoms will still appear in their world.
 * While offline, an invisible timer is set to exactly 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes pass, the "Disasters are gone…" message will appear and permanently end the infection.
 * Resting at a bonfire, dying or quiting/reloading the game will reset the timer. This can be used to indefinitely prolong the appearance of the phantoms."""""""""
