Thank you 
Ofnuts...(oh I so want to know about your moniker!) I looked XCF file I attempted to attach yesterday (it was way too big) I tried to select the ghost and it disappeared this time! I have attached the screen shot of it just so I could prove to myself I wasn't dreaming. Thank you for the link! What an interesting and complex program Gimp has become! Wow, the nuances!
Argh! I opened the xcf file again and there is was again. I hid all the layers and it was still there! Then I used 'select all' and it disappeared. WIERD!
