Bloodsucking spirit (7)

I believe the answer is:

vampire

(Other definitions for vampire that I've seen before include "Legendary dead body that sucks blood" , "Nosferatu, for example" , "A blood-sucker like Dracula" , "Type of bat" , "Blood-sucking ghoul" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
