Birthday Calendar Glitch

After I switched over to iCloud my Birthday Calendar has gone a little haywire. On each day there is a Birthday it has 3 birthday events. Two of them just say "Birthday" while the third says whose birthday it actually is. When I go to my address book to delete the persons birthday only the one with his or her name goes away. The two phantom Birthdays stay. The phantom birthdays do not show up on my iPhone. And apparently I don't even have the birthday calander synced to my iCloud online. So this may not have to do with iCloud at all. Is anyone else having this problem?

I'm experiencing a similar issue, but it was partly my fault. I had two different contacts set up - one for my brother and another for him and his wife. Apparently I input his birthday in the latter and neglected to fix it. When I established my iCloud calendar, I noticed it and corrected it immediately. In fact, I just deleted the second one altogether, leaving a contact for just his info. When I checked the calendar, it left "their" birthday and added his. I made another contact with another birth date, and nothing showed up. But as soon as I deleted that one, the ghost birthday appeared. To top it off, now I cannot delete any of them. When you find an answer, please let me know. It's not detrimental, but it is a bit frustrating.
