If the zombie retains memory/personality, then I'd say that if a soul exists in the setting, that it is still in the body or has been returned to the body. Therefore no separate ghosts.
If the zombie exists only as a husk to be used as a puppet by some other intelligence or entity, then I'd say ghosts of those people make sense.
Why is the soul in the mind?
I recognize the weird state that would exist where the mind is fully copied into the ghost, having two entities with the same mind.
I still think that would be interesting fiction though.

Or the body. I think the main thing is that a single entity only has a single animus, another word for a soul.
So a necromancer may lend a body a "false" animus to animate it, while the "real" animus (or soul, if you will) is in a spirit form.
