A ghost thread is when a bot posts an ad link in a thread and names it a weird name e.g. "Usually human companion". But new users have to get their posts with links approved by the mods so the first post actually disappears as soon as it is posted. This is why the thread has no OP whatsoever. When someone posts there, they become the OP and it's impossible to then report the bot until it gets found by the mods.
This is why JulietheCat yesterday kept bumping it up with spammy posts - so it would get noticed and removed.
