So then, the problem isn't belief, it's fear. I believe in ghosts, but I'm not scared of them, therefore it doesn't curtail my life (or anyone else's) at all.
The problem is the same as if someone had an irrational fear of spiders or close spaces. And it is an irrational fear - even if ghosts are to be believed in, how can they be feared? They can't physically do anything. It's all those stupid Thai horror movies that are to blame...
