"Holy Spirit" and "Holy Ghost" are both names for the same person of the Trinity, and neither is unorthodox, dubious, questionable etc. The 1903 English translation of Leo XIII's encyclical on the Holy Spirit was titled... "The Holy Spirit". As were subsequent English translations.
From the Baltimore Catechism:
It's one thing - a laudable thing - to be stubborn in adherence to the truth. It's another to be stubborn in error.
