Can't remember the studies, but scientests have actually been able to switch on the part of the brain where such phenomina can originate and induce hallucinations. This is further supported by the fact that many people like to apply personification to nature and the fact that our sense organs such as our eyes for example don't actually "see" everything we view, with much of it being extrapolation by the brain. Meaning mistakes happen and you can see something without it actually being there.
So ghosts can be wholly explained without the supernatural being brought into it as errors or byproducts that occur in naturally evolved flawed brains. Which of course would absolutely mean that some people would be pre-disposed to experience such phenomina more frequently.
That doesn't mean that ghosts don't exist of course, but the burden isn't on the negative position to prove that they don't.
