Some mental hospitals have single rooms, some double rooms, but always with the same gender. A person who "sees ghosts" is likely delusional, and therefore a candidate for psychiatric hospitalization. With insurance restraints these days, a patient is usually stabilized on medication and therapy within a week or so then seen as an outpatient if the person can complete the "daily activities of life". Mental hospitals generally have activities such as a low key sport like croquet, quiet time with reading or watching tv, and daily sessions with your psychiatrist, medication time, 3 meal times, and group therapy where you talk to others in the same hospital ward as you.

It's just like a hospital for people who are very sick and might harm themselves or others or who are medically compromised / fragile, and just like a group home or college dorms for people who aren't very sick. Room arrangements are just like in a hospital with single rooms costing more than rooms for two or four people. People decorate their rooms and can have their own things just like at home if they aren't too sick. There are usually lots of recreational activities and facilities and a dining hall like a school cafeteria or boarding home family-style dining. Residents attend private and group counseling sessions and have lots of free time to do whatever they want indoors and outdoors. There's a lot of boredom in mental facilities, though. There's nursing staff and aides and counselors who form therapeutic relationships with residents. Residents make friends with each other and have frequent / daily visitors. Most stays in mental facilities are very short and last only until the resident has met his or her goals and improvement is observed.

most people go to a mental hospital because they may want to kill themselves , or they have come to a point that their mental illness is so severe that they can not take care of themselves. just seeing a ghost does not make you qualify to go to a mental hospital. You have to be in danger of hurting yourself or others. In a mental hospital, the patients may be given different kinds of psychotropic medications to treat the symptoms that they are experiencing. A person leaves a mental hospital when they are feeling better and able to function again in the outside world. They can leave the mental hospital when they are no longer in danger of hurting themselves or others.

Sometimes you have your own room, sometimes not.
Ghost seers sometimes do, especially if a clinical psychologist or similar professional thinks that the ghost visions are real hallucinations (seeing something not really there).
Your stay varies. These days, after an emergency, about 72 hours and they kick you out. It's a matter of who is going to pay the bill for your stay.
They do various things. Sit in groups and have group therapy, schedule appointments with a psychiatrist, prescribe drugs. eat food that isn't really that appetizing, mainly mope around.
(How do I know this? I used to work in one. But that was quite a while ago, so my info may not be all that up-to-date.)
Bottom line: avoid it if you can. Having a bunch of crazies around you is not psychologically healthy. After a while, you wonder what's normal.
