Phantasm(FAN-taz-um)

Quick Detail: A fleeting image or illusion of something unseen.

Definition: A phantasm is a vision that appears briefly, often without clear shape or substance. It may seem to hover at the edge of perception, inviting doubt about its reality. The word suggests something formed from imagination, memory, or shadow. Phantasms fade quickly, leaving only the impression of what might have been seen. Their presence stirs curiosity more than certainty.
