So, ghosts are "not even wrong" (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_even_wrong https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_even_wrong).
Your story about the superconductor shows how pseudo-science is different from science in practicality every step, despite trying to pose as it.
- Ghost potentially exist, we have uncountable "theories" that could explain how, we just have to find the evidence to prove that what we want to be true actually is.
Versus:
- As we understand current theories based on the existing evidence, high temperature super-conductors are unlikely to exist. Let's spend a huge amount of effort and resources to prove that our understanding is incomplete. Ups, someone accidentally stumbled upon something that doesn't fit, and now we have to go to great lengths to actually formulate a hypothesis that fits the unexpected new evidence, and then we have to go to even more effort to test those hypothesises so maybe one stands the test of time to become a theory. Until we hopefully find something else that doesn't fit.
