I think not - Moaning Myrtle (though she wants to haunt Olive and 
others who teased her) - but the basilisk WAS killed by Harry, the 
truth WAS revealed... and Voldemort was defeated and nearly died when 
Harry was one.

Unrevenged death to cause a ghost - like a revenge was a good thing??
I think not. "Happiest wizards don't become ghosts"

I think it's more to do with obsession, some thing still holding one 
back - habit for Binns, avenging to Olive for Myrtle, desire to join 
headless haunt for Nick... Disability to let go.
