5.11 Sam, Interrupted
In 5.11 Sam, Interrupted, the wraith is disguised as a nurse called Karla. She amplifies a person's imbalances to make the brain produce more chemicals like dopamine, which she likes to consume. She feeds on the brain through a thin pointed protrusion that emerges from her wrist, which she inserts into the brain. She is killed by Dean with a silver plated letter opener.
