Random peeve

(I have those too, though I try not to boast about it)

If a ghost is the spirit of a deceased person, then it does not live anywhere. It resides, dwells, or possibly haunts a place but - and this is somewhat inherent in the definition of the words "ghost" and "live" - it does not live anywhere.

However, knives and shirts and sheets all do live in their respective drawers or cabinets or closets. No, I will not justify this.

Merely an observation that people are often not very self-aware and, traditionally, human ghosts don't necessarily become more self-aware after death. Of course there are other traditions in which ghosts become many things they weren't when they were alive.

I did appreciate the pedantry in your original post though, and share your prejudice in the matter of ghosts not living anywhere (although some apparitions are supposedly projections of living people, which complicates matters...). :-)
