Why are Spooky Ghosts currently revealing me while I'm in stealth?

Before they would just ride your butt, but now they're actually slowing and revealing you while you're invisible if you enter stealth after they've been cast.

What's going on and why wasn't it in the patch notes? Is it a bug?

The ghosts seek out the closest targets, chase it and then slow and reveal when it gets them. By nature, they're intended to give the user an advantage by finding nearby sneaky targets, otherwise, the ability is a waste of space.

But they were only originally programmed to hit visible targets. Stealthed targets made them always follow them, but never reveal them until after stealth ended.

The item is more used for chasing/running and scouting bushes than it is finding stealthed champions. It shouldn't reveal stealth and slow if the target is already stealthed. You can't even tell when ghosts are used if it's from the fog of war and if you hop over a wall or something with stealth, they lock on immediately and reveal you so it's like all you did was flash into your own death. They shouldn't have that kind of power. Bring them back to what they were like before or just give them zero stealth interaction. There's too much in this game already that hard-counters the mechanic.

When I play stealth champs w/ frostqueens it revealed you if it "spotted" you before you went invis. However if you're already invisible before they release them then it won't go to you.

are you thinking about Kalista 's ghost? It'll reveal you in stealth if it finds you before you stealth.

Twin Shadows/FQC ghosts.

Stealth is typically regarded as one of the most difficult mechanics to balance in game. That's why Evelynn is either dumpstered or over the top.
