It persistently and consistently fails to be proven by science and I'd rather be guided by scientific research when it comes to what I want to believe in than anecdotes by people I don't know or trust.
edit :
As for irrationality, scientific backing to explain the existence of ghosts is lacking and to accept their existence would be very irrational according to the principles of occam's razor. The reason is, explaining ghosts would also mean you would have to accept that there's existence of the "self"/"spirit" after death, that dead spirits are able to manipulate objects, perhaps possess the living and a whole range of other ideas that may be wrong - just so that you can acommodate the idea that ghosts are real. Not believing in them requires no such feats of wild imagination as the world without ghosts is (increasingly) well documented.
