A room full of ghosts can be found on the 1st floor[UK]2nd floor[US] of Melzar's Maze. They must be killed in order to obtain the orange key, which can unlock the orange doors and progress through the maze.

The orange key is always dropped by the hooded ghost with no cape, and will never be dropped by the other ghosts.

According to Melzar's notes, these ghosts are the spirits of dead Crandorians that were slain by Elvarg and brought back by Melzar as part of his attempts to resurrect his fellow countrymen. This is further supported by the dialogue when talking to these ghosts with a ghostspeak amulet equipped; their speech hints that they were victims of Elvarg, now constantly reliving their final moments.
