If you mean that the post is not real, it may be someone who wrote in another language and then ran it through a translator into English with not so great results.

I believe they are referring to the Mack snow ghosts that are sometimes advertised. If I am correct, a Mack snow ghost is just a hypo Mack snow, so a Mack snow with less/faded spotting. I can't recall the breeder that has line bred them at the moment, but there is one lol

If my leopard gecko magazine article, pre-interwebs memory serves me well, the term ghost referred to a leo with no body spotting, head and tail spotting and was coined by none other than Ron Tremper around the mid-90s. In its originality, it was a selectively bred trait that never caught on in that terminology, but would later be known as hypo.

Later, Ray Hine, a british leopard gecko breeder, brought about the carrot-tail trait. Linked with that was a codominant, non-selectively bred form of hypo, aka it's inheritedly passed on and reproducible. The original carrot-tails were actually rather normal in background coloration, having spotted heads and tails, a tan body, and orange tail base ranging from 20-45% orange. Animals lacking the carrot-tail trait were simply hypos. Since hypo is assumed to be codominant, you can have 3 phenotypic expressions: normal, hypo, and super hypo. Hypo I've already described, and normal is a given, thus super hypos lack head and body spotting, but contain tail spotting.

The Hine-line hypos are also known as ghosts.
