So i was watching some lore videos recently and apparently elves don't just live forever in Middle Earth, rather they fade gradually until there is nothing but a shadow of them left, there are also those elves who do evil deeds in life and are denied entrance to the halls of mandos, so they are forced to spend the rest of time as spirits wandering Middle Earth. Now it is unclear if there are any faded elves in ME in the third age, it is implied some of the elves initially refused to come to the undying lands so some of them may be faded at that point in time, but it is heavily implied there are spirits of the evil elves wandering ME who are very vulnerable to being corrupted by Sauro.

I think it would be cool if there was a very very small chance you could encounter such spirits in the remotest parts of the land, the event should be so rare as to only happen maybe once or twice oper playtrough, and it should be eerie, depending on what kind of elf spirit you encounter you could either run into a faded elf who would be very transparent apparition and would babble incoherently (as it is implied that their mind would mostly go along with their body) but when coherent it would express sorrow at not going to the undying land and maybe even begging the player to help them find their way to the grey harbors so they can finally make their jurney (now there could possibly be a special quest there where you can accept the request at which point the faded elf would start following you until you got to grey harbors at which point he would reward you with powerful artefact form the first age).

The other kind of elf spirit you could encounter would be the corrupted soul of the elf that did evil deeds in life, and that one would be always hostile, maybe he would attack you and you could only fight back with special waeapons like levish weapons or Mithril weapons, because the ghost would be immune to mundane weapons.
