Can you Banquet a Ghost?

Banquet: Gain 2 Coppers and a non-Victory card costing up to 5.

I could not find anything in my searches on this site. I could not find anything in Empires or Nocturne rule books. Banquet does not specify a card from the Supply.

If the answer is in DSF somewhere please let me know where I missed it.

All gainers can only gain from the Supply unless they specify otherwise. Banquet doesn't and Ghost isn't in the Supply, so Banquet can't gain it.

I feel like this rule needs to be on the first page of every rulebook. It's so often misunderstood.  Everyone knows you can't buy it, but gaining it through non-specific means is not obvious (to people who aren't paying attention).

Well, in this case the mistake was looking in two expansion rulebooks, and not the rulebook of the actual basegame. There are of course many rules not covered by the expansion rulebooks.

The original Dominion rulebook is not completely clear about this though. It says gained cards "usually" come from the supply. You have to look up each card, e.g. Feast, to get a clear answer. So if you only have the first edition rulebook and then buy newer expansions, it could be a bit unclear. The second edition Dominion rulebook is very clear though.
