Its not perfectly clear if she flooded it or if Ginny made the bathroom
flood when she tried to flush the diary. The diary hit her in the head..
in the U BEND of the toilet, which is under the seat in fact, where the
water passes through when it is flushed.  Something about her living
there makes the toilet back up?  Well.. one would think the water (and
whatever else) would pass right through her.  Might disturb her enough
to leave the toilet violently and cause it to back up and overflow all
over, cept for the times she's asleep and gets flushed to the lake..
(why would their plumbing empty into the lake?? Do the monsters there
eat human waste or is the lake really disgusting?)

Ghosts perhaps have limited, uncontrolled ability to effect the material
world or like in the movie Ghost, they have to concentrate hard to do it
and it exhausts them quickly..
