To get the ghosts on the bridge find the big boulder located right before the bridge and drive up the cliff, drive the ghost up the cliff wall holding the boost the whole time till you get on the bridge.

After the first two to the left, turn around and look away from the rock wall, then left ninety degrees for another one with a longish extrusion of Flood material.
