Definition:
A wraith is often described as a pale, fleeting form that appears briefly before fading into nothing. It carries a ghostly stillness, as though only part of it belongs to the world of the living. Wraiths are tied to moments of transition, where presence and absence overlap. They rarely show detail, existing instead as outlines or impressions. The word suggests a haunting that is more suggestion than solid form.
