The word was found in the New Times online Newspaper on Monday November 3,2014. The word was found in the beginning of the article http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/28/nyregion/flickering-lights-strange-music-and-a-ghost-at-a-brooklyn-restaurant-maybe.html. The sentence started “She was middle-aged with gray hair and dressed in white, like a wedding dress, he said, but not one from this century. And she appeared corporeal, “normal,” Mr. Vargas said, not nebulous or translucent like on television”
While reading the article, I came upon a familiar word however I wanted to make sure the definition. The word was used to describe the ghostly appearance, she was clearly see through.
