Two people never confirmed the same sighting? Not true.
Of course, hallucinations are also real.
So it's hard to tell really what's what.
I don't like the definition of "supernatural" because everything that happens is natural.
But once again, you're not explaining how mediums are commonly used in investigations and even accepted in court, if they can provide and find evidence.
This isn't about ghosts, but it's interesting. There has been a famous case recently of a lawyer that disappeared and everyone suspected she had been murdered by her boyfriend - but no one found a body. One day after months her father claimed he had a dream in which she told him where the body was - miles away, in a random river in a nowhere place in the state. He wasn't quite sure where this place was so he walked and camped through the woods with his son for DAYS until he found the place he claimed to have seen in his dream. The police of course decided not to go at first, because they saw no evidence of anything like that - so he hired his own divers to go there. After a few hours, they found her car. Then the police went there and they were giving up but he insisted he knew where it was, and they ended up finding it. It was a very famous case people had been following for months, and clearly not a lie. Afterwards, certain witnesses started claiming they saw him driving the car there, but they hadn't said anything earlier. Someone can speculate the father got information from these witnesses before, but that would be perverse (why would he lie?) and wouldn't explain how we knew the exact spot or even why he had to be in the woods for days.
Of course, I believe there's a possibility that he might have heard the boyfriend or anyone talk about that place before and forgotten about it (although she had never been there). I also think Jung's theory of the collective uncouscious would provide an interesting explanation. It doesn't necessarily mean SHE was the one to do that, maybe he could somehow see her memories, but anything is possible.
And before you go blah blah blah blah blah please remember: I don't care what you say.
