Unofficial Description: Specters appear as ghost-like humanoids.

 3.5e lore  [SRD3 OGL] [6] 
A spectre looks much as it did in life and can be easily recognized by those who knew the individual or have seen the individual’s face in a painting or a drawing. In many cases, the evidence of a violent death is visible on its body. A spectre is roughly human-sized and is weightless.
