Looks like they meant "gaslight" but I did find it on Urban Dictionary:

ghost light

Lighting in a video game that has no apparent source for the light to come from. Its like going out on a bright day, but not being able to find the sun in the sky even though the surroundings are brightly lit. Dead Rising on XBOX is a good example.

Agree on gaslight as the intended word. Ghost light also has a theatrical origin, still in use today. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_light_(theatre)
