Actually I think that this song has nothing to do with ghosts at all. But instead, it is about seeing something or someone strange and thinking him to be a "ghost" or a strange drifter with the traits of a monster.
And the girl (or boy) has a particular sick(sick NOT meaning "wrong" but rather squeamish or ill) interest in this "ghost" for she secretly knows that they share some of the same traits, but she does not want others
to know of this acknowledgement, so she is telling the "ghost" to "go away" and to quit calling her "out to play".
