This guy is apparently dumb as a stump having kept as much evidence as possible on his person.
A '"Ghost Gun" is a gun with a home-made receiver with NO serial #.

It is easy to mill from a block of aluminum or via 3D printing. The the receiver can be made to look like a Glock and once you add the addition (Glock) parts, you have what LOOKS like a Glock...

The other arts are easily and LEGALL available to pruchse and have NO identifying markings.

THAT is the definition of a ghost gunt and the media is using the term correctly...
