This is one of my favourite chapters of the whole manga! I love the fakeout at the beginning when Shindou is looking at the Jump homepage. :D The Sai rhino! Shindou's lies upon lies! And then the epic serious stuff when Shindou finally gets serious! Eeee!
I like both "ghost" and "shadow" for the translation of that line. I checked the Japanese version and Shindou uses the word gen'ei 幻影, which translates literally as "vision/illusion/phantom." 幻 = phantom/vision and and 影 = shadow. So really, it's all pretty close.
The whole line is "俺の幻影なんか追ってると ほんとうのオレにいつか足元すくわれるぞ!"
