For those who believe in ghosts and not in god?

While i am agnostic. I would like to know how you can believe in one and not the other, as both could be considered to have the same characteristics.

Update:

Isnt God considered spiritual power. Has God not manifested to others as stated in the bible.

    I don't believe in either, but how exactly do you figure that a ghost (leftover energy from the dead) and a god (all-powerful magical deity) has "the same characteristics"?

    There's no such thing as a ghost, it's just a writers ploy, on the contrary, God does exist,

    Example: God is in us all; whether you believe in him or not; just consider -- you know what's right and wrong. Animals, birds, fish, have not such ability. Just think of the last time you stole something, or when you lied to someone; doesn't that make you feel guilty. Or when you took off work for no good reason, and you had to lie to do it.

    Now, as to 'ghosts', it is said that they can walk through a closed door, or wall -- if that were true, why is it they can walk on the floor without sinking into it then?

    I don't believe that ghosts are supernatural.

    Gods, by any definition, cannot be anything but.
