This is either a Smooth Ground Cherry or a Clammy Ground Cherry. I'd rather think it's Smooth. These are also members of the Nightshade family.
The flowers hang down. Inside those Chinese-lantern-looking husks are small round fruits. They can be eaten once they ripen (to orange or red, I believe), but while green they are toxic.
Something, presumably with six legs, has been making a meal of these particular plants.
