** ''TabletopGame/WarhammerFantasyRoleplay'': Spectres and wraiths both have a [[BrownNoteBeing sanity-damaging]] aura of [[SupernaturalFearInducer terror]] and a TouchOfDeath. Most spectres have been driven "mad, evil, or both" by being BarredFromTheAfterlife, while wraiths are universally malevolent {{Omnicidal Maniac}}s. By contrast, ghosts and poltergeists have a weaker fear effect and are often benign.
