ghostly figure
Translucent haunting presence
A ghostly figure is an apparition or specter—something seen dimly or imagined as supernatural.
The phrase describes a pale, translucent, or shadowy form suggesting a ghost: A ghostly figure appeared at the window.
It can also describe anything eerily indistinct: Through the fog, ghostly figures moved along the pier.
