To reply to your question down below, Vanitas can certainly take pictures of the spirits. They may come out blurry due to the low light conditions, but they should be decent enough.
The spirits don't react much to having the lantern brought up to their faces, just sort of looking and tilting their heads. They don't feel like beings made of either darkness or light, even up close.
When Vanitas summons his blade and challenges the group, the incredibly tall one raises its hand once again— this time pointing at Vanitas himself. It lets out a low, groaning sound, almost too low to hear, but loud enough to vibrate the trees and rumble through Vanitas' chest. The rest of the spirits take up the call, though theirs aren't quite as deep; instead it's more like a series of hoots and the sound a glass bottle makes when you blow into it. This continues for a moment as the spirits suddenly stand stock still.
When they move again, it's swift and sudden. They rush forward in a wave, gangly limbs surprisingly agile for how awkward they look. The ends of their formed line move in to flank their prey, with more spirits spilling from the trees and underbrush. Vanitas and his Unversed are quickly surrounded.
The creatures don't seem to have any weapons, and they don't use any sort of magic. They simply grasp at their victims, snatching any limb they can before violently tearing it from its parent body. Some of them bite, too, their masks splitting to reveal rows of jagged teeth. Their aim doesn't appear to be to eat, just to kill, pulling their prey apart in a wild frenzy. And all the while they continue their ghastly cries. The tall one simply observes.
There are dozens and dozens of spirits, and their sheer numbers make it difficult not to be overwhelmed. The Unversed keep them occupied only a short while before they move on to Vanitas himself. Any of them struck down are simply replaced by another, though it's hard enough to damage them. They just keep coming and coming until they finally accomplish their task.
Vanitas is dead, and his lantern light flickers out.
(As a quick mod note, since this happened a little while ago, Vanitas can be back in time for the Graves event.)
