My girlfriend is an atheist who believes in ghosts. She sometimes tries to convince me that the spooky experiences she, and her father have had were definitely ghosts, and I feel bad, but I can't validate that. I don't tell her that she's wrong. Mostly I say, "Yes, that does sound spooky," but when she presses me to say more, I do have to admit that I can't believe that there are invisible entities making knocking noises, or moving suitcases around to amuse themselves. I don't ridicule her about it, or anything. I'm not stupid, and I'm still a fan of having sex, after all.

I'm exactly the same way with my girlfriend. She's not an atheist but something akin to a 'spiritual agnostic' if such a thing exists. She's sceptical about a god but believes in ghosts and genuinely feels that she saw ghosts in her last house or something. It's so hard to put forward that I think it's all bollocks, nicely.
