Pardon me if this is a newbies mistake, but I believe that the "ghosts" 
came from the wands when Harry and Voldemort's wands created an arc of 
some sort. Not from the Priori Incantatem charm. I think that charm is 
to see what was the last charm performed by that particular wand. Like 
in GOF when Harry's wand was found on Winkie and the Ministry officials 
used that charm to see if Harry's wand conjured the dark mark.

Let me know if I am wrong.
