Sometimes.
But sometimes not. I mean, Johnny, ghosts have been part of human lore for more than 5,000 years, across all civilizations.
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who've experienced psychic phenomenon, and those who haven't. I'll bet that before horses and wheels, Indians across America were skeptical of reports of a never-ending lake shore that constantly moved. Probably thought folks who'd seen the sea had been doing a little too much peyote! No such thing as a lake that big!
There is a whole 'nother level of being in terms of human consciousness and/or activity, with communication, that is weakly understood, but it exists. I don't understand it and my experiences with it have only ever been fleeting, but I know it as surely as I know gravity rules and water is wet, and all the books and experts in the world who pooh-pooh it are just so much piffle.
As chessplayer quoted, "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio ..."
Because people decide to chemically jack with their perceptions.
So everyone who sees something inexplicable are only seeing it because they are jacked up with drugs? Thats what atheists claim about people in the Bible who saw strange things,,,they were all dopers.
“The Miracle of the Sun” (dopers?)

“In July, August and September 1917, three Portuguese shepherd children claimed that a miracle was going to happen at midday on October 13th. Thousands of people gathered in the Cova da Iria fields near Fátima on the day to witness the event. Estimates of the number of people vary between 10,000 and 100,000.”
“Much to the surprise of local skeptics and media, the crowds did indeed witness a strange event.”

At least 10,000 people all doped up and having the exact, same drug induced hallucination?
Scripture indicates that ghosts are “familiar spirits”. Demons who pretend to be people. Those who follow God are told not to have anything to do with them.
