I love your idea (I gave you a Kudos XD). I find it really possible that they do an Orpheous-esue story, replacing the Underworld for the Netherworld. I also foresee OUaT going the Orpheus route, with the retrieval of Prince Phillip's soul. Even the creators seemed to hint at it, when asked if Phillip died.

Regarding the wraith, I think Cora may have created this one. Possibly using her father's body, after she killed him. Cora is quite proficient in Necromancy.
