Here's a good example of ghosting in which warm air rising out of a baseboard heater and carrying particulates (probably cigarette smoke and dust in this home) came into contact with a cold exterior wall and the particulates attached themselves to the wall.

Ghosting? Yes, I see your point. I'm pretty sure I saw Elvis in that second picture.
What's the technical term for this "ghosting"? |

It's the "plate out" of particulates, but that's as formal as I know.
