Spectrals
Spectrals are ethereal entities believed to exist beyond the physical realm. They are often considered the remnants of an individual's soul or energy that persist after the death of their physical body. Spectrals are frequently connected with hauntings, possessions, and other paranormal phenomena.
They tend to linger in the physical world due to unresolved matters, whether it's an important task left incomplete or emotions and regrets yet to be reconciled. Spectrals are typically tied to locations where they lived, worked, or met their end, often reported to haunt these particular sites. In several instances, sightings of spectrals have been linked to tragic events, such as accidents, homicides, or conflicts.
