Believing In Ghosts But Not Religion? Let's Discuss

Hiya there everybody! Today I'd like to discuss "Is it 'ok' to believe in ghosts, but not any religion"? Now before you start turning your head, I'd like to provide 3 little pieces of possible proof...? that they might exist.

So my family and this family who are hugely religious longer than I can remember. We hang out oh so often, etc. etc. and looking back, I remember them having quite some stories that actually make me believe that there could be. NOW!! Even though they are Christians, they NEVER EVER lie (you know what I mean by that statement), they never ever push religion on anybody, its just, they're some of the best and most reasonable Christians you would ever meet. So I reallyyyyy don't think they'd be lying about these things, and I think you guys would think the same if you knew them for some time.

-A now 18 year talked about how he saw an Indian ghost in their basement, and so they did a litle research, and turns out we are living on this place that was once an Indian Reservation :O!

-One of the 18 year old's friends said he was sleeping over at the 18 year old's house (our religious friends families house), and went to the bathroom or something (forgot exactly) and saw the 18 year olds dad going there, so he said "Hey (dads name)!" And the "ghost" didn't do anything but just stand there, so he just went back up and went to bed. And he asked the dad or something in the morning, and said he wasn't down there.

-The mom of this family talked once about when she was at the funeral for my sister, when she died, she saw trees turning different colors, and lights becoming different or something similar?

Now because of how smart y'all are, I know I'm going to be called stupid and get my ass kicked in a debate, can you please go easy on me and tell me how I'm wrong? What's flawed with this "evidence" and whatnot? And lastly, am I simply being stupid and gullible for believing that ghosts can even possibly exist? Thanks y'all! :D
