How does one logically refute an anecdote about ghosts?
I have a person in my life who claims to have a ghostly encounter. they are completely assured that ghosts exist based on the fact that they were right about someone having died in a house they were going to buy. this was all based on a "feeling". how do i logically refute this "evidence" in a kind manner?

Of course it was based on a "feeling". Other such "reports" are based on a dream, or something experienced while on drugs. It's right up there with the reports of unicorns or the Loch Ness monster.

You can't. What you can do is explain to them that it is the manifestation of a demon which they have authority over.

You believe in the gods which have the same validation so just "chose" not to believe.
