As for numbers, it depends on the continuity. In the movies (and the IDW ongoing comics), a trap can handle one or two with little problem, but things get kind of... explosive if you cram too many in there. The cartoons made the traps fit the need of the script, but couple hold way more standard ghosts than the movie versions, but there were instances of very powerful entities breaking free of the trap.
