If you are seeing ghosts, then chances are that the actual email has

Not sphinx expert by any means. Try the killist and see how you go.
rebuilding the sphinx indices is one option, but I don't think you need
to do that, because the killlist feature of sphinx should handle it, and
prevent these ghosts to be visible in the gui.
Rebuilding may be a good options if you have lots of aged messages, and
you want to reduce the size of the sphinx index. Note that the sphinx
data for the removed emails are still present, sphinx only suppresses
those hits.
I tried the following. Just set deleted=1 for a single message, however
it was still present in the same and subsequent query.
Then I executed the delta indexing script manually (only because I was
impatient to wait 20 mins until it was scheduled), and after that this
message is disappeared from the hits.
I'll add this to the FAQ, perhaps other users may find this tidbit
useful.

Sorry, I couldn't answer sooner.
