A spirit is a set of various non-playable species related to the afterlife, but which are less interactive than what ghosts are.

Catching spirits is the centralmost part of the ghost hunter profession in The Sims 3: Ambitions. The spirits come in 3 tiers: Lesser Spirits, Poltergeists, and Ghosts. Lesser Spirits also come in one of 7 possible colors to match their designated personalities.
In addition to selling through the inventory, active Sims can optionally sell caught spirits at science lab rabbit holes or at a Busche School of Science[TS3:UL]. It is also known to be possible to use transfiguration[TS3:WA] to turn Lesser Spirits into tombstoned ghosts.
If a spirit is bought with Buydebug, it will come as an empty container that is nevertheless listed with the "Lost" spirit type, "Age: Young", and a base value of §100.

The Sims 3: Pets (console)

Spirits return in The Sims 3: Pets for console, functioning similarly to their appearance in Ambitions. Around nighttime (9:00 PM / 21:00), residential lots will often by haunted by randomly generated ghosts and lesser spirits, requiring either a Sim with a Ghost Zapper or a cat with at least Hunting skill level 7 to capture them. Successful completion nets Simoleons, with collected spirits appearing in the inventory. As with Ambitions, spirits are listed with their personality, age, and color, and can be sold from the inventory or by visiting the science lab.
Cats with a Hunting skill of level 7 or higher can also seek out spirits independently of active hauntings. When used this way, a single spirit will spawn somewhere nearby, prompting the cat to run to its location, levitate, and shoot lasers to capture it. This process can be repeated like any other form of hunting until the cat’s mood becomes too low. Because multiple spirits can be collected and sold in a short amount of time, this method is an exceptionally efficient way to earn Simoleons.
Spirit collection is a factor in unlocking the Old Gilman Farmstead, one of the two haunted houses available in Sugar Maple Coast (the other being The Goth Manor). To unlock the lot for purchase and editing, the active household must capture 25 total paranormal entities, which includes ghosts and spirits. Once this threshold is reached, the lot becomes available for ownership, with procedurally generated households often occupying the farmstead if story progression is enabled.
