Geist

Quick Detail: A geist is a lingering or restless spirit whose presence is often felt more than clearly seen.

Definition: A geist is a spirit known more for its presence than for any single appearance. It may be sensed through shifting air, subtle sounds, or sudden chills that come without warning. Unlike more defined specters, a geist feels scattered or incomplete, as though it moves between places rather than inhabiting one. The word carries an older European flavor, evoking old houses, narrow corridors, and memories that refuse to settle. It is a reminder that not all hauntings choose to reveal themselves fully.
