* ''Film/BeautyAndTheBeast1946'': Belle moves through the Beast's castle in an impossibly fluid and graceful way, even appearing to float up a staircase. The effect was achieved by pulling Josette Day (Belle) on a trolley and done to create a supernatural, dreamlike atmosphere.

* ''WesternAnimation/Beowulf2007''. Grendel's mother does a CirclingMonologue around Beowulf that's remarkably smooth-flowing, implying this trope.

* In ''Film/AvengersInfinityWar'', when first seen on the planet Vormir, [[spoiler:the Red Skull]] is clad in a BlackCloak and floating above the ground, giving him a very specter-like appearance.



* ''Film/TheBluesBrothers''. At the end of the scene with the "Penguin" (Sister Mary Stigmata) and Jake and Elwood Blues, she moves back through an open door into a room as if she were floating on air. Along with the other magical effects she demonstrates earlier in the scene, it manages to be one of the more memorably instances of NunsAreSpooky.

** [[Recap/StevenUniverseS1E19RosesRoom "Rose's Room"]]: In the simulation of Beach City, the fake Lars and Sadie move around like this.
** In [[Recap/StevenUniverseS5E24LegsFromHereToHomeworld "Legs From Here to Homeworld"]], [[spoiler:White Diamond's Pearl]] glides about everywhere on the tips of her toes. In fact, the only part of her body that moves individually is her mouth. The whole effect makes her rather eerie. It eventually turns out that [[spoiler:she used to move more normally before White Diamond turned her into a MeatPuppet]].

* Rosalina of 'Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' in most of her appearances is always seen floating just off the ground and is rarely seen standing or walking. Though there are several instances where she forgoes floating and decides to walk or run by herself. While she isn't a ghost, she is still a [[MysteriousWaif mysterious]] and [[TimeAbyss incomprehensibly]] [[Really700YearsOld ancient]] woman with mystical powers.

* A variant with humans: the Russian dance troupe [[https://youtu.be/gwbcTYQ84dU Beryozka]] (''Берёзка'', "Little Birch Tree") specializes in performing in long sarafan dresses and moving across the stage as though gliding or floating. It's obtained with very small steps on very low half‐toe with the body held in a certain corresponding position.

* ''Series/TheHauntingOfHillHouse'': The bowler-wearing ghost moves in this fashion, with a cane added for extra weirdness. In the past, its feet are clearly visible above the ground. The present version also moves this way, though its feet are motionless on the ground.
