Bounding Dark Angels Assault Marine

I decided all my tanks need names, and I wanted to do a ghost-y theme. I had enough names for them all but when painting I realized I can only fit 7 uppercase letters comfortably on the banner thingies that go on tanks.
I need 9 names, here's what I've got
WRAITH
SPECTRE
SHADE
BANSHEE
PHANTOM
HAUNT
SHADOW
I need two more, 7 characters or less, and spooky ghosts sounding
Names discarded due to length were REVENANT, PHANTASM, POLTERGEIST

That list is interesting.
As far as Casper,not sure if you were joking but I'm looking for more spooky names than friendly ghosts

I'm going to check my monster manuals, and get back to you if I find something exceptional. Need it be related to ghostly apparitions? Or would things like zombies work too? You could use things like Lich, wight, ghoul(as previously mentioned), grue...

Unfortunately, you took all the good names, so I only have three, one of which is quite undignified, and the other two are basically the same:
DEATH
REAPER
WISP(as in "will o")
I doubt my zombie ideas work, but LICH still sounds like a cool name for anything.

DJINNI? Not strictly a ghost, but neither is BANSHEE.
ECHO? Might confuse the Star Wars fans, but could work.
I second SPIRIT.
That's all I've got this late in the evening, I'm afraid.
