Unfortunately for your point general relativity seems to work, and your argument does not address my statement.

As an object approaches the speed of light time will slow down, finally stopping when the speed of light is reached. This has been observed on significantly sub-light scales.

Now getting back to the point, a frame of reference is vitally important (see Relativity). Suppose we assumed that our sun and solar system are actually traveling in some direction at 1/4 the speed of light. In this case it would be extremely difficult for a human to ever inhabit the space another human did 5 seconds ago.

Ghosts are in trouble, because as soon as they become ethereal they are massless. This means that gravity no longer holds them and they will be flung off into space at up to 1038 mph! Think of a wet, spinning tennis ball except with souls.
