That is a collywobbles moment, right enough...
FWIW, I don't believe in ghosts either. Well, not in the conventional sense, anyway.

I can't remember who it was that said it, but someone said that time is like millions of bits of string all laid down together side by side. So, now is happening now (in this bit of string), but 2 seconds ago is also happening now (in another bit of string) as 500 or 5,000 years ago is also happening now.

Or, to put it simply, it's possible time might run concurrently with itself.

Occasionally, the bits of string get entangled with each other, so a ghost is actually a bit of interference in the fabric of time itself.

OK, so it's not provable, and it sounds stupid, but I like the theory anyway. :)
