We study the polarization response of a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser, driven simultaneously by noise and two (or more) weak periodic signals. In the bistable regime, we observe experimentally the occurrence of stochastic resonance at a frequency that is absent in the input driving signal. The presence of this so-called ghost resonance is confirmed theoretically.
