I like a good mystery. A ghost makes for a good villain, I think, because there's usually a mystery surrounding their death, their sad stories make for great drama, they can be dangerous and somewhat unpredictable and a good ghost is a proper character in the film with it's own thoughts and motivations.
Unless we're talking Paranormal Activity. Then the ghost has no story, no apparent motivation, no one solves the mystery, we never learn who the ghost is .. boring!
