Title	She even had us chasing ghosts
Text Submitted by ramarren	Source language: English She even had us chasing ghosts that placed her at X, supposedly preparing to move on Y and then strike at Z.
Remarks about the translation	I ask English experts to make me a favour and explain in the comments the following things: 1. What does mean the phrase "she had us" and how this can be said in other words? Is this the same as "she forced us"? 2. Is the phrase "to chase the ghosts" a kind of phraseologism or it is used in the strict meaning? 3. Finally, how whole this sentence should be understood?

"to chase ghosts" means to act on false presumptions/try to find something that isn't there 3. the sentence means : 'She had us believe and act on the presumption that she was at X, preparing to move on Y and then strike at Z.'
