grey ghost

Faded phantom figure

Grey ghost refers to something pale, elusive, or spectral.

The term applies to various things sharing these qualities: certain dog breeds like the Weimaraner, known for their silvery-gray coats; Australian slang for parking enforcement officers; or any fleeting, hard-to-catch presence.

The Weimaraner is nicknamed the grey ghost for its coloring and stealth.

Also spelled gray ghost.
