Maybe ghosts are real, but since they're incorporeal they're unaffected by gravity and get left behind in the void of space

If they're unaffected by gravity, chances are they don't have mass. If they don't have mass, they're not constrained by the Higgs field, which in turn means that they can never move at any velocity below light speed.

Their unfortunate fate is to roam across all of space at the maximum possible velocity in perpetuity.

On the other hand, it all happens in an instant to them.

Nah we're by a catholic cemetery. They definitely have mass. I suggest instead they all fall to the Earth's Core since learning to ghost fly probably takes more than 80 minutes, and once you're down in the ghost orgy why leave?

we can save them, but I'll need a rat, a giant nuclear drill train, and a family of orcas

Can't you theoretically just move super fast but across a very small distance? They could just "stay" with the Earth, moving with it as needed, maybe eventually they'd learn to do that automatically as well.
