You could try the 'Forelorn Watchman' Quest. Go to Bravil for the quest. Or if you already did it: go back to the Mouth of the Panther, the ghosts are back after a day or two.

Or... you could buy the house in Anvil, Plenty of ghosts there. To trigger the ghosts, you have to buy the house and spend the Night.
Hope that helps! :)

Bravil, iirc. It's a random quest.

Why am I fighting to live, if I'm just living to fight?Why am I trying to see, when there aint nothing in sight? Why am I trying to give, when no one gives me a try? Why am I dying to live, if I'm just living to die?

Chapels are good

Try any city chapel undercroft. If you can break in you'll usually find some ghosts in the place. Of course this may be against your character's lawful preferences. And you'll have to use at least silver weapons against them as described above. Normal iron or steel will be useless.
Of course if you just want the ingredient and don't care about searching for it then (highlight):

Good luck.

Couldn't tell ya

By the time I've encountered silver weapons in loot drops I've usually had something magical that was better to whack them with. I think the weapon of choice against ghosts must be either silver or magical. The magical item doesn't require any charges to be effective. A 'dud' magical weapon is effective against creatures like ghosts.
