I see no reason to allow for a supernatural cause when it comes to ghosts after dismissing it in relation to gods. I don't accept anything as being beyond nature.

Having said that, I can't rule out that the mind is capable of amazing things science is still at a loss to explain. We've seen proof that it can cause a massive release of chemicals into the blood stream that allows a person of average build to lift a car off a trapped person. We have proof that a person can muster the courage and supress pain enough to cut off their own arm in order to free themselves from a rockslide. The brain is a wonderful organ, and still poorly understood by medicine and science. As we discover more, I can't help but think that we'll find explanations for many things like ghosts.
