    sound to me that you might not have the two ends connected to the same side of the plugins. (eg. + side of connector to the + side of wire back to + side of next connector, same for the - side)

      its a problem with the cable-- unlikely the ghosting will disappear unless the cable is fixed or you get a new one

          you might not have a great connection with the wire itself as well. Maybe a bit of soder would help too........

            Ghosting in coax or cable tv is from bad connections and im sure the same holds true here too. Check your connections make sure everything looks good
