Ghosts (if you believe in them) occur because of SOMETHING: their life wasn't complete; they died without finishing something: they had an terrible thing happen to them, etcetera. Whatever. The HISTORY of Dudleytown shows that none of this ever occurred there. In fact, many of the deaths connected to Dudleytown never even took place there! Do the math..........
