Don't attack them when the ghosts use soulbind. Wait until it wears off.
Just a note on the ghosts: You need to aggro one of the town's Tormented Souls to get them to transform. They can either turn into Kirin'Var Ghosts (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=20480) or Kirin'Var Spectres (http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=20496). As far as I can tell, only the ghosts drop the quest item.

Description
The strange magical device resembles nothing you've ever seen before. It's certainly not of blood elf manufacture. As you sense spirits moving closer to the building, the orb glows with a greater intensity, which fades as the spirits leave. There's no question that it plays a role in the corruption of the ghosts. How it works remains a mystery. Perhaps Custodian Dieworth will have some insight if you can provide the remains of some of the spirits along with your observations.
Where to go
Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Searching for Evidence
Whoever is behind the transformation of the spirits has been very deliberate in their actions, taking care to target the most powerful mages first, but why? The kind of magic required to influence the spirits of slain Kirin Tor mages must be very powerful.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Capturing the Phylactery
I suppose an explanation is in order. You've met one of the archmage's apprentices, Ravandwyr, but there was also another named Naberius. He was an ardent student, but was drawn to necromancy.
