I used to believe in ghosts when I still believed in invisible sky-wizards who spoke humans into existence out of bits of poo or whatever. The advent of my atheism took with it any belief I had in the supernatural.
As far as ghosts go specifically, the only "evidence" for them is instances where we don't know what actually happened ("Ghost of the Gaps," if you will), or else there's a simpler explanation available, and so the particular claim falls neath the stroke of Occam's Razor.

Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
