It's not a bad theory per se. Filch is a poltergeist. If Peeves is the manifestation of the students rule breaking and mischief, then Filch is the manifestation of the staff attempting to get the very same students to obey the rules. It nicely explains what the heck he is even doing there.

It of course doesn't explain what the heck Mrs. Norris was doing. She's clearly not a poltergeist, as she gets killed in CoS

as she gets killed in CoS

She's not killed, just petrified. They revive her at the end along with Hermione, Justin, Colin, and Penelope.
