Wraiths | Soul Sucking Spirits Under a Spell

Wraiths are some of the deadliest spirits to manifest. For many, someone used black magic to enslave them. This spellcaster intends to use the wraith to kill someone. Find out how to fight a wraith after the jump.

How Spirits Become Wraiths

In general, a spellcaster can enslave an entity from another world or a ghost that has fallen victim to its own shadow. In some cases, the magic wielder captures a specter.

For entities, the magic pulls the entity from the Otherworld of spirits and warps it into a mindless slave. With ghosts, the corrupting shadow overtakes the ghost’s essence and warps it into a monstrous version. The spellcaster then grabs it with the magic and turns it into a mindless drone. For specters, it’s much the same, but specters agree to the conversion. It’s pay off is to feast on the victim’s lifeforce.

Once the wraith finishes its assignment for the black magic user, it returns to the Otherworld or moves on to the afterlife.

Wraith Haunting Characteristics

You don’t have the usual manifestation of knocks, cold spots and EMF changes. Magic may be the difference: It doesn’t create your standard apparition.

There are a few signs you have a wraith after you:

  • Wraiths always manifest when you’re wide awake
  • It scares you, but it doesn’t want your fear: It wants you to die quickly
  • They only manifest at night when they can blend into the darkness
  • Wraiths have glowing red or green eyes
  • Wraiths always manifest as cloaked, skeletal figures
  • These spirits will not stop until they kill you or the spell ends

How Wraiths Feed

Wraiths differ from other ghosts and spirits because they don’t live on fear or other negative emotions. They drain their victims of their life force. This means they intend to kill the person and fulfill the black magic used to enslave them.

In order to feed, the wraith must become a corporeal manifestation to touch its victim and drain their life force. Each touch transfers some life force into the spirit. In some cases, they rake the victim with their sharp skeletal hands. The wraith can then drain the victim’s essence as they bleed out. It doesn’t need to touch the person again.

Victims report they feel a numbing cold when the wraith touches them. If raked, they don’t feel sharp pain, but fall unconscious in seconds. Sometimes, a wraith will grab a victim by the neck and they feel something sucking on their head.

Protection Against Wraiths

Most ghostly and religious protection techniques won’t work against wraiths. You have to use magical remedies to protect yourself. In this case, you could look into stones, herbs and silver objects for protection.

If you can break the magical bond between the sorcerer and the wraith, then the wraith will immediately dissipate from the physical world. That’s tough to do since you’d have to understand the spell and the magician’s motivation to kill someone.

Similar Ghostly Types

Many people confuse wraiths with shadow people, but they’re only similar in a superficial way.

Here’s a checklist you can use to better identify your haunting between wraiths and shadow people:

  • Wraiths wear cloaks and have glowing eyes: Shadow people do not.
  • Wraiths try to kill you: Shadow people only want to observe.
  • Wraiths manifest as physical entities: Shadow people stay non-corporeal.
  • Black magic control wraiths: Shadow people control themselves.

  1. Hi Zach, thanks for commenting. Silver may work because it (sometimes) can break magic. Overall, silver isn’t effective against ghosts and spirits but wraiths are powered by magic. Don’t count on it to work every time. Here’s a link to the silver article.

  2. Minor request – could you tell me what’s the drill with wraiths and silver? I saw you mentioned silver for protection against the suckers, and I wanted to see if you could lecture me a bit more on that one. Thanks, chum.

  5. Hi, thanks for commenting. I haven’t read anything about it returning to the spellcaster. My guess is that it would likely go free to wreak havoc on its own.

  6. Is it true that if the wraith does not succeed or the casted spell is broken it goes back and takes vengance on the caster

  7. Hi, thanks for commenting. It could be a number of things: a family curse; the wraith wants something; or, something to do with the child themselves. Many people with psychic abilities could attract the wraith, too. Wraiths usually act with a purpose of goal. It’s not something the child/person-of-interest did.

  9. Hi Omega, thanks for asking. Burning the remains doesn’t always work. It depends on the anchor, which keeps the spirit connected to our world. The anchor’s what you want to find and destroy. Those are hard to figure out. It could be anything from a necklace, favorite chair, toy, the entire house, etc. You’d have to research the ghost’s and location’s background to know.

  10. If you burn the spirit’s human remains, will that kill the spirit or put it to rest?

  11. Hi Omega, thanks for commenting. It’s difficult to kill or clear a wraith. For one thing, you’d have to break the spell that enslaved the wraith, which means you’d have to find the spellcaster. Tough to do and I don’t have any info on how to find them. The section, Protection Against Wraiths, in this article has links to protection. That’s your better bet.
