Wraiths are a ghostly mythological creature originating in Scottish culture.
General Description[]
Wraiths are ill-defined in nature, but all have a similar appearance: a tall, usually silent spectre shrouded in a black hooded cloak, with his face either unseen, skull-like, or reduced to two glowing eyes. Wraiths can be anything from a demon to a ghost, and some wraith-type creatures in fiction can be entirely different things, such as aliens.
