Mar 31, 2016 12:14 PM in response to Ferrdby Linc Davis,This procedure will revert your settings in the Notifications preference pane to the defaults.
Please back up all data before continuing.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/NotificationCenter
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it are one or more files with long names. Move the files to the Trash.
Step 2
Open this folder in the same way:
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost
There may be one or more files with a name beginning like this:
com.apple.notificationcenterui
Move those files, and only those, to the Trash, if they exist.
Step 3
Do as in Step 2 with this folder:
~/Library/Preferences
Log out or restart the computer and empty the Trash. Recreate the settings.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You may not see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 4
Take this step only if you still have trouble after taking all the preceding steps.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
open $TMPDIR..
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any one of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. Depending on which web browser you use, you may have to press the return key. A folder with a long, random name should open. Inside it, there should be a subfolder named "C". Drag that to the Trash.
Log out or restart the computer. Empty the Trash. Test.

Apr 6, 2016 5:31 PM in response to Linc Davisby Ferrd,Nope, that did not do it. The item is still in the notification area.
Does anyone else have any ideas?
Thanks!

Jul 8, 2016 8:52 AM in response to Ferrdby warpx,I had the same problem and stumbled upon your question
I found out, that usernoted, the daemon for notifications in OSX not the Notification Center itself was the culprit. I found a solution, but please aware that it involves resetting your current Notifications preferences to default. It will get rid of the ghost events though. I didn't but you could back up the files you're about to delete. Use at your own risk!
Open Terminal and paste:
cd `getconf DARWIN_USER_DIR`
rm -rf com.apple.notificationcenterkillall usernoted; killall NotificationCenterThis get's rid of your users usernoted and NotificationCenter settings. After logging out and in again, my ghost events were gone.
