Phantom, apparition (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spectre

I believe this is a double definition.

'phantom' is the first definition.
(I know that spectre is a type of phantom)

'apparition' is the second definition.
(I know that spectre is a type of apparition)

(Other definitions for spectre that I've seen before include "Ghostly figure" , "spirit" , "Ghost, phantom, apparition" , "something seen as a threat" , "Respect for a ghost" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
