An acquaintance or friend from a previous phase of your life with whom you are "friends" on Facebook. Without Facebook they would have drifted entirely out of your mind-space except for very occasional "remember that guy?" reminisces. But because of Facebook, they continue leaving attenuated mental impressions on you.
This term isn't meant to include old friends who you don't see often but to whom you have a deep connection. Also, Facebook ghosts can become real friends and acquaintances again through a renewed connection or contact, often through Facebook itself.

Gavroche: Who is that guy with the crazy hair who keeps popping up on your newsfeed?
Fantine: I went to High school with that kid, but I haven't talked to him in years. He's just a Facebook ghost.

Someone who goes on Facebook and comments on a picture/video but logs off immediately after. These people do this to give the impression that they are so cool and popular that they can only spare a few seconds of their busy day to comment on a mere Facebook picture/video.
Guy 1: Hey, Tony just made a comment on my picture, and it says he wrote it "a few seconds ago", but he's not on Facebook chat.
Guy 2: Wooooow, what a Facebook Ghost.

Someone who used to have a full Facebook account, but ended up deleting it while still using Facebook Messenger to keep in contact with their friends. Just like a Force Ghost no longer exists but can manifest and communicate- a Facebook Ghost can still chat and participate in group chats, but has no profile to be viewed.
Daniel is a Facebook Ghost and can't be invited to the concert through the Facebook Event page, so the host had to use Messenger to send him the details.
"Hey why can't I check your profile? I didn't get any notifications for your birthday."
"Oh I'm a Facebook Ghost, I deleted my account but I still use messenger to hang out in the group chat. "
