The International Code of Wizarding Secrecy was the result of an International
Confederation of Wizards summit meeting held in 1692 (the year of the Salem
witch trials) in response to incrasingly gruesome persecution by fearful
muggles. If you don't have access to Bagshot's "A History of Magic," you can
check "Fantastic Beats and Whre to Find Them," page xv.
Another Hogwarts ghost who's not from the 1600s is Nick, who died in 1492.
