In the novelization Salazar explains that the Monarch dared to cross the bow of the Silent Mary and the massacre was a fair and just punishment. In other words, the ghosts killed the British because they were standing in their way. A more logical explanation would be that they killed the crew of the Monarch because they were British, which means the traditional enemies of Spain.
