But mostly he watched with eager search The belfry-tower of the Old North Church,

Which of the following sentences uses a word most like the meaning of spectral here?

The prison at Alcatraz has been abandoned for years.
On foggy fall nights, the kids in town dare each other to walk through the ghostly gates of the abandoned mansion near the hollow.
Through the telescope we saw a number of colors from the refraction around the star.
The ancient man bore wrinkles deep with the knowledge handed down for generations in his tiny tribe.
