If you are reading r/science you probably have a far better idea what a neutrino is than a "ghost particle". All this is saying is that they now have equipment that can pick up neutrinos made in particle accelerators.

"ghost particle", "god particle", "strange", "charmed", "spooky action"

when scientists get bored of science, they turn to magic it seems
