encounters

greetings.

Is there a difference between an encounter with 'spirits' and an encounter
with 'spirits with wights' ?

I admit I've never paid much attention to the wording, as I stop reading
when I see 'spirits'.
To me there were only riddles (where I send in crap people with the correct
response), and encounters (where I send in good people as characters could
die).

thanks
