They might be talking about a difference tone. This occurs when two notes are played together at about the same volume. A third note can be perceived which is at the frequency of the difference between the two notes.

I think this means notes/chords played softly so in some cases barely audible but still there.
It's also common with players doing "ghost chording" to keep their breathing rhythm going (listen Little Walter Juke in last 4 bars of the 3rd chorus). You hear them most often as exhales I think.
They are artful and something that can make the harp sound bigger than it really is plus really add some bounce.

Jaco Pastorius killed with ghost-notes, notes "felt" but not heard.
Google up Jaco's "Come On, Come Over" with Sam & Dave and feel your lips stretch and your eyes dilate.

Joe Filisko will use "ghost chords" in his tabs.
It is my understanding that these are short percussive chords, blow and draw, that are used to keep rhythm.
