Ghost accounts are accounts that are made by a third party to look active. These act as a “live” account or from spam accounts that are essentially “bot” accounts. These kinds of accounts are specifically made for fake engagement or followers. Because these accounts aren’t real people, their engagement is random and spam-like. Therefore, the engagement your account will receive isn't authentic and instead is automated since it is fabricated by a software. It is very easy to spot a comment from a “bot” account in comparison to a real one. The reality is that your fake followers or false engagement is painfully obvious.
