Or in the second story where the whole family kept seeing their dead grandmother for months in their home the most probable explanation is that they are all lying or were all under a delusion , but for me it's impossible to just discard it as something trivial , i think there is a real phenomenon going on there , whether it's mass delusion and experience of the same hallucination or a real ghost ( whatever that means ).

Well, it's not clear that you understood my point, but regardless, let's cut to the chase: what do you think you should conclude if there is no explanation?

Well exactly that , that there is no current explanation and that we can hope that one day science will have the answer , until then we can only say that we don't know ( we can guess based on logic and reason , but it's still just guesswork ).
