Apparition, spectre (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

phantom

I believe this is a double definition.

'apparition' is the first definition.
(I know that apparition can be written as phantom)

'spectre' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for phantom that I've seen before include "Spirit" , "Ballet-dancing costume" , "Ghost of the Opera" , "Blush" , "Something creepy" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times (Simplex), The Guardian and The Irish Times.
