I have the same issue and think that a new Elecraft cable will take care of the problem being that seems to be the cause. I can't see them using something so cheaply made as to cause this to save a few pennies, I trust them to supply me with a good cable being that is the problem.

With the replacement cable in place, all the ghosts vanished. I have sent an email to support with the information and request for a replacement cable. Thanks to all who replied - the ghost spikes really did bug me, but I was about to give up on it.
