Are Ghost Lights Japan-only? I thought the concept of the will-o'-the-wisp began elsewhere. Or do they have slightly different connotations?
Relatedly, the Ghost Lights image could use a replacement.

They aren't specific to Japan, but this particular usage is much more common in Anime than western works.
In Western Animation, the tail can be found on the anthropomorphic Danny Phantom.
BTW, I can make any of these pics semi-transparent if you want.
Everyone Has An Important Job To DoEh, I think without transparency is better, after all. ^^;; I guess it doesn't work quite well with a white background. It is looking weird now. I barely see her.
Since no one else saw any problem with her looking a phantom, and my comment was just an attempt of avoid Fan Myopia in the first place, I guess we can just use the original, not photoshoped image.
Sorry wasting your work, Big T.

Flip the background image horizontally and it would be perfect. Although it might also be better if the tail was more visible.

◊ Here is the ways that both shaft series handled her transparency if you want to try and match that.
The quote should be "Sorry, for haunting this page."
Ok... "Haunting" did not lead to what I was expecting it to lead to...

I added all the options that got positive feedback. Someone else can add the rest if they think everything should be on there.

The ghost tail thing works for me. It's in Casper all the time. I was going to suggest Poil from the Casper comics, but I realized she mostly looks like Casper with a wig.
