I think Ghost type Pokemon can die and they just fade into oblivion. On the other hand there's also another kind of spirit Pokemon when they pass, like Cubone's mother.

Which makes this more complicated. After she was put to rest we never saw her again. So where do Ghost Pokemon come from if they don't come from the deaths of non-Ghost types?

I'm pretty sure it's like in modern folklore. If somebody was ruthlessly murdered, they might become a ghost because of their negative emotions.
