I don't actually remember how to trigger this, I think it's by capturing the ghost, then dropping it, then picking it up again. Maybe you needed to bring it out and then into the cap zone? @Rainyan you might remember this?

Do you mean in OG NT? It happens if you're holding the ghost inside an enemy capzone radius when the round rolls over to the next. I haven't verified the details, but I'm assuming what roughly happens is:

A new round begins
Capzone ownership info for NSF<->Jinrai is flipped (probably inferred from gamerules proxy m_iAttackingTeam)
Some check somewhere (a gamerules think probably?) triggers before your player position, and/or the ghost position & ownership are reset, and:
1. You're currently holding the ghost
2. You're currently standing inside a capzone radius
3. That capzone is currently marked as your team's capzone
Therefore, because you're passing all the ghost cap checks, it must mean you have just instantly capped the ghost

But I don't know whether this is a thing that happens in Rebuild.

I swear this GH issue feels like it been filed assuming it has OG:NT behavior rather than actual behavior. Nevertheless I have seen a visual issue where it'll popup another ghost capture win HUD on moving to the 2nd cap zone in a short time (easy to do in oilstain), but in NT;RE, it doesn't alter the round win/XP points at least.

Can also trigger the "x captured the ghost" message when taking the ghost to a capture point after killing the enemy team first

I think this issue be closed in favor of this: https://github.com/NeotokyoRebuild/neo/issues/513 Considering the ghost can't even be capped twice (as in XP/Scores change) in the first place.
