Sure I can follow the logs in real time in Heroku and when visiting the
app you can see the requests hitting the app. I can follow up any
requests. When this "ghost" site has been active the application at
Heroku is not hit, the app does not serve the content, nothing is seen
in the logs.

Yeah, it was a coincidence that I found it. Another guy found it in
Spain and told me about. At that time I tried visiting the server but
didn't get "redirected" there. Then the next day it also happened to me.
So I took note of the url and I was visiting it for about 15 minutes
with the same result (the bad page), then it kind of died out and the
same url would take to my app as expected.

I still have to push the latests changes I have which include update to
Rails 2.3.8 and other stuff. But one thing that is now different is that
I forces https in all the requests. So I don't know if this will
mitigate the problem. Anyway the app is at sharebi.com

Btw I just found a screenshot of the bad page (attached). You can't see
the #login part but that was consistently taking me here on Friday.
After the loading part the form I mentioned before is displayed.
