Hello I have been searching for a book I started reading in Jr. High around 1996 or so not sure who the author was or the books name. I believe it had Spectre in the title. The book was about a woman running from a large violent black figure a ghost I think she may have been trying to save a child too?? I remeber very little other than it was very intense and well written. I really would like to find this book again any help is appreciated.

There is The Specter where a young woman is trying to help a nine-year-old girl.
