wraiths
Translucent visiting dead
Wraiths is the plural of wraith, a ghostly apparition or specter.
A wraith typically appears as a pale, insubstantial figure—the visible spirit of someone dead or dying: Wraiths drifted through the abandoned castle.
The word extends to anything similarly gaunt or spectral: The starving refugees moved like wraiths through the camp.
