Yeah, Bobby is right. There are two totally different "ghosts", niether of which are true ghosts aka hypo anery. There are the Palomar Ghosts which are fairly well known but there was another king called a ghost that came from a wc gravid blackbelly. It has the pattern of a blackbelly but almost in reverse as the belly is solid yellow instead of black/brown and instead of being dark hypermelanistic it is light brown, almost hypo looking.

This snake is pictured in Hubbs book. I used to own this snake but never bred it and I gave it away. I have also talked to a resident in the area it was collected who may have seen one. I used to be allowed to hunt on his property and he described a king he saw and the description was like the ghost eiseni to a T.
