No she's not - and that's the point.  Myrtle said she used to haunt 
the girl she felt caused her death.  She only started haunting the 
Hogwarts bathroom after she was told to stop. 

Ghosts seem to have the option of haunting just about anywhere - 
otherwise, how would so many have visited Sir Nicholas's deathday 
party?  Perhaps there is something similar to exorcism in the 
Potterverse, where she could be forced to stay away from a specific 
place/person, or even worse be confined to one specific place.  If 
that's the case, it would make sense to follow such a request from 
someone with the ability to perform the exorcism.
