They are all explained in the story since 'they are illusions, phantoms of the mind'. They aren't timescooped from anywhere instead they are just telepathic projections of images taken from the Doctor's mind.The others who appear as ghosts are more tricky. There's a continuity mistake in the explanation of how the second Doctor discovers Jamie & Zoe aren't real, as he states they couldn't know who he and the Brigadier were because their memories of the time in the TARDIS were wiped when the Time Lords returned them home. That's not right, they retained the memory of their first adventure only, but neither met the Brigadier in their first adventure so the explanation holds up.
Captain Yates and Liz Shaw never appeared together, so they must have been captured or projected as ghosts separately. That's the hardest one to reconcile I think.
