Basically, right now there is a ghost icon. I can't drag it anywhere, but it slides around if I move another application on top of it. I can't bring an icon from another page to replace it. It pretty much just jumps back to the top.

I was updating my applications and I guess it erased the old application after its installed and left me a ghost application.

Weird, I've seen that happening but moving an icon around usually fixes that. (I know you said you tried that.)
 
I once had that after an app failed to install properly over the air. A hard reset solved it for me.
 
I just had the same thing happen to me while the urbanspoon update failed to install. A hard reset didn't fix it so I'm going to delete it and try downloading again.

edit: re-downloading fixed it.
 
If you can identify the problem App then redownload. Otherwise you must Restore and sync all active Apps back to the iPhone.
