Neither reason nor rational depend on truth.
Rational depends on provability based on empirical evidence, knowing something is either true or false.
Reason is a superset of rational and depends on causal logic. It is totally reasonable to believe that a ghost picked up something and threw it across the room if you didn't have any knowledge of what other phenomena caused it. But its not rational you don't have evidence of ghosts.
truth is a matter of provability, whether it can be proven true or false. If faith is belief in something that cannot provably be determined than its not rational but not "unreasonable".
While we can empirically prove (i.e validity or lack thereof) of the effects of the supernatural, we do not yet have, and may never have, means to prove (either true or false) the existence of the supernatural.
