Well, the concept of ghosts, esp, aliens, etc. can possibly be explained scientifically once we have enough data. To say that something is supernatural because science can't explain it yet is like saying the phenomenon of things falling downward was supernatural before scientists discovered the gravitational laws.

I associate a persons legs + reported phenomenon as standing a good chance of having something to do with "spirits" but that's just my opinion.
That's just it, though. What if science progresses enough in the future to actually have explanations for such phenomena? Would it still be supernatural? What if science finds out that ghosts are natural instead of supernatural? Would ghosts still be supernatural?
