Falsifiability

Falsifiability is the requirement that for something to be considered science, it must be possible to show that it is untrue, if it is in fact untrue.

Science only studies things which are testable. If you say that ghosts exist but that you can't see, hear, smell, etc., them and there are no scientific instruments that can detect them, then they are not a matter for scientific study. There is no way the claim can be falsified.
