Ionic air purifiers. They charge or magnetize the particles and then they cling to everything. Remove a picture from the wall - is the ghosting around the outside? Remove a metal decorative piece - if the particles are magnetized the ghosting will be the opposite - it will be in the same design as the item.

What causes black soot and ghosting on the ceiling if you do not have an ionic air purifier?
Are you sure it is not mold? That could be a health risk. If you

exhaust in your home. You might need to have this checked out
proffessionally since the by product of this exhaust is carbon
monoxide.
