Now what is needed is to add a footnote that is not attached to any place in the document, yet it is counted in the counter and appears. What's more, I want the footnote's number to appear before the words of the note. (So it's like a 'ghost' footnote that refers to nowhere.)

As mentioned in my comment, I would clearly advice against such an approach. If the footnote is interesting to the reader (and I hope it is), he will start searching for its origin in the text and will not find it. No reference, no number!
