Sometimes the perfectly rational explanation is that there is Damn Strange Stuff going on in this world, and no amount of saying you don't believe in it will make it go away.

People are either lying or mentally ill

The people that insist that "ghost stories" are infrasound, or the wind, or increasingly implausible ideas involving a crane, 60' of invisible rope and a custom-made laser projector that just happens to be pointing at a mobile phone mast - those people are mentally ill. Hell, some people even believe in Richard Dawkins but refuse to believe that Damn Strange Stuff happens.

Certainly there is plenty of stuff that's inexplicable, but there doesn't seem to be a good reason to go from "I can't explain it" to a supernatural "explanation"
Everything we have discovered about the universe strongly suggests it's materialistic, and there is no good evidence supporting any supernatural phenomena.

Inexplicable means it cannot be explained, by anyone, ever.
Perhaps I was harsh earlier. I should expand my answer to include, not just liars and the mentally ill, but also idiots and hallucinogenic drug users.

And also there is a huge amount of post-hoc distortion going on.
"I saw a hooded figure and there was an odd sound" is hardly inexplicable
