I don't know about ghosts in Harringay but one of the most famous Victorian writers of ghost stories, Charlotte Riddell, lived here. Perhaps she found her inspiration from ghostly goings on in the " irreclaimable morass " that surrounded her home in St Ann's Road, before the train line arrived and swept the old village away.
Bruce Castle has a ghost called Lady Constantia Coleraine

The Londonist are doing a series of posts under the theme of Fortean London trying to pinpoint a ghost in every borough. They have missed Lady Constantia haunting Bruce Castle but apparently, according to Wikipedia, the Parkland Walk,the woodland track that follows the path of an old railway line across Haringey, is haunted by the rumbling of trains near the Highgate tunnel and the ghost of a railway workmen who threw himself under a train near Highgate.

The Hornsey Coal Poltergeist
Location: Ferrestone Road, Hornsey, London
Description: On the first of January, 1921, the owner of this house, a Mr. TS Frost, bought a load of coal for the winter. In his home were three children, Gordon, Bertie, and Muriel.
In the grates of his house, the coal exploded, and coal in buckets exploded too. A policeman was called in.
He made his report upon coal that not only exploded, but hopped out of grates, and sauntered along floors, so remarkable that an Inspector of Police investigated.
According to a newspaper, it was this Inspector's statement that he had picked up a piece of coal, which had broken into three parts, and had then vanished from his hands.
It was said that burning coals leaped from grates, and fell in showers in other rooms, having passed through walls, without leaving signs of this passage. Flat irons, coal buckets, other objects danced. Ornaments were dislodged, but fell to the floor, without breaking. A pot on a tripod swung, though nobody was near it.More.............. http://www.shadyoldlady.com/location.php?loc=1353
