Because there is no evidence for ghosts. It's as simple as that. Anecdotal accounts are not sufficient evidence.
And you keep saying "arrogant". You're misusing that word. It doesn't take one ounce of arrogance to demand proof for an extraordinary claim, it only takes a small semblance of skepticism. The burden of proof lies on those making the claims.
