Hmm, anyone want to propose a reason why Nick would have been
executed at a school? Why would the Bloody Baron be so... bloody? Did
the ghoul in the Weasley's attic die there? I hope not. I'd say that
ghosts probably have some choice as to where they haunt, maybe the
places that have significance for them? 
Myrtle is the kind of person who WOULD haunt a toliet just for the
sheer misery of it - I don't know if we can take her as an example.
But perhaps the Hogwarts house ghosts had particularly fond memories
of their Hogwarts days... or particularly un-fond. I wonder what it
is that has the Fat Friar so unhappy.
