Well, Moaning Myrtle mentions haunting Olive Hornby until she was
forced to return to her toilet, so there's no need for ghosts to stay
where they died. Nick presumably hasn't - can you imagine an
execution in front of all the students? Perhaps they've all got tired
of being exorcised from other places and are safe in Hogwarts, or
they just like it there. I can't really see Nick haunting anyone, but
maybe the Baron enjoys bullying Peeves? The Fat Friar presumably
doesn't have anywhere else to go.
