An easy way to find Ghost-type Pokemon in Pokemon GO is simply by playing the game at night. Between 8 PM and 8 AM, trainers are far more likely to come across one in the wild. It is important to note that around 2 AM is the best time to go out and look for the typing.

Ghost-type Pokemon like foggy weather, so if hunting at 2 AM isn’t an option, fog is always a safe bet. Lastly, while this is purely speculation, it is rumored that Ghost-type Pokemon like to spawn around churches and urban areas.

Trainers can also wait for Pokemon GO’s annual Halloween event. The Halloween event typically revolves around a specific Pokemon. However, Ghost-type of all kinds spawn at a higher rate.

There are also raids where trainers can team up and battle a powerful Pokemon. If the trainers are successful in defeating the boss Pokemon, not only do they get valuable items, but they also get the chance to catch the boss Pokemon they were battling. While Ghost-type Pokemon are not easy to defeat in a raid, raids are the most reliable way to come across a Ghost type.
