I'd describe that as psychic, like how Harry talked to Elaine in WK. The stones probably just boost the signal and provide a measure of privacy.
Since the Nightmare was able to steal some of Harry's powers, I'd say that was more in line with the soul instead of just his 'ghost'. The repository of power should be in the soul or the body, not that residual essence that makes up a 'ghost' like we saw in GS.

I've been saying for a while, all of Chicago being sucked into the NN during or near the BAT might well be what the Unseelie Incursion of 1994 is set-up for; your idea here might well be a mechanism for that.

But Harry was able to do the same thing to the ghost, and we're as sure as we can be that that was just a regular old ghost, nothing souly about it.

Are we really so sure about that? I mean, even Harry admitted that the Nightmare was not acting like any Ghost he'd ever heard of. Its possible at the time that, in Harry's ignorance, he may have not known the difference between being a ghost and being a disembodied soul.
peregrine:
I just chalk that up as having been created with purpose to exact the revenge, rather than just acting on instinct.
