I would sugges teleporting the Ghost
Mob/proc/TeleportGhost(mob/M in world)
    var/mob/Ghost=new/obj/G// or w.e
    Ghost.loc=locate(M.x-1,M.y,M.z)//Teleports Ghost 1 Space under selected person

ofcourse This is just and example i cane up with quickly fro my Iphone but it's for you to get the point of it

i really don't need to teleport the ghost. i only need the ghost to walk behind the player. i would like the player to display above all mobs and objs

Have you tried changing the layer of the ghost to MOB_LAYER-1?
I think that's what you're looking for.

Try
Obj/Ghost
icon='you icon.dmi'
icon_state="If There is one"
MOB-LAYER-1

and when you want to add it to the player
src.overlays+=/obj/Ghost
//or if you need it under the Player
src.underlays+=/obj/Ghost

Make sure you lr adding it to the player in the right spot
