spectre

haamu (standard spelling of)

The spectre is a ghost of a decapitated young man.

A spectre is haunting Europe — the spectre of communism. All the powers of old Europe have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: Pope and Tsar, Metternich and Guizot, French Radicals and German police-spies.

To this extenuated spectre, perhaps, a crumb is not thrown once a year, but when ahungered and athirst to famine—when all humanity has forgotten the dying tenant of a decaying house—Divine Mercy remembers the mourner (..)

Dans la nuit, il vit un spectre apparaître.

Le spectre de la lumière blanche est un spectre continu.
