All the hints in this post are to do with work-arounds for the glitch, once you have found the correct answer.
3 curioussquared: I found Ghost #4 where I expected it to be and received a notification that I found a ghost, but the corresponding clue wasn't crossed off my list. Possible bug?
38 paradoxosalpha: The #4 glitch is so strange. When I found #14, the header bar said I had found all fifteen ghosts, but on return to the main hunt page, it says only fourteen, with #4 unmarked.
41 mr.philistine: Regarding #4, could it have something to do with the '!' in the name and the '%21' in the URL?
(Hope I have not given too much away.)
42 AnnieMod >41 mr.philistine: Yep - modifying the URL does the trick and registers properly in the list. The old issue with special characters in URLs strikes again. :)
44 paradoxosalpha: I did the URL trick, and now the header ribbon credits me with "16 out of 15 ghosts"!
59 mr.philistine: If you find the required group, you will note the group name in the URL in the address bar does not match the group name on the page. Make it match and hit Enter!
67 RachelBakke: For clue number 4, if you go to the URL and erase the %21 and replace it with ! then you should get credit for finding that ghost
70 slimikin: For #4: If anyone, like me, already has a "!" in the URL for that page, erase the "!" and type it in again, then hit enter. That finally gave me my ghost icon. :)
