If ghosts exist they are natural. If God exists it would be natural because it would be encompassed by nature or the inception of nature which would make it natural.
There are a number of Christians and other religious people who argue the same thing.
Some say that God is nature itself.
By far the smartest Christian I've ever corresponded with personally argued that God was natural.
One interesting tradition says that what we call nature is the part of God which is visible and knowable to us. But because we are animals with limited senses, who evolved for survival rather than full-spectrum truth, the parts that we can't know appear to be separate somehow. But this is due to illusions that come from our own limitations.
Even the word "nature" turns out to be fairly hard to define, and has had a number of meanings over the years.
