Yes? Yes.

"Lots, it seems," Jared said as one of the baskets returned to him, a faint smile playing around his mouth at her question. "Help yourself."

"You all bring up good points," Jared said. "Take two points each. In our terminology, ghosts are disembodied spirits of once-living wizards or witches that do not have physical influence. That is, they cannot move objects. The important thing, here, is 'our' terminology. Wizarding terminology. All witches and wizards believe in the existence of ghosts and, to take that further, 'peaceful' ghosts. You'll have seen them floating around Hogwarts, for one."

"If you ask muggles, though, the answers are going to be far more varied. Kyle just mentioned that, being raised by a muggle father, she was told ghosts don't exist. That's one example of how the average muggle's knowledge and views about ghosts differ from ours. Muggles incorporate the 'thought' of ghosts into their lives quite differently. So what are some ways the muggle view of ghosts differ from ours?"

Back to muggles. But at least he had done the little he could to make sure all the muggle-centered lessons didn't have to be dead bores. He removed the marshmallow-on-a-stick from the fire, as the sky darkened and night fell.

Emily though of her time in the muggle world. Her neighbour Ainsley had always been scared of the idea of ghosts... thinking they would haunt her and mak bad things happen.

"I know that a lot of muggles fear them... they think that ghosts are evil and scary spirits that try to harm them. They often beleive that ghosts have telekenectic powers and are able to move object with their minds."

Of course, we knew better... ghosts don't move objects physically or with their minds.
