Yes? Yes.

"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 that repetitive. He removed the marshmallow from the fire, as the sky darkened and night fell.

Ellie watched as the marshmallow went black and wrinkley and fell to the bottom of the fire. Hah!

"Basically," she said, fixing another marshmallow onto her stick.

She put it back into the fire, and stared at it, watching it.

As for muggles' perception of ghosts, she wasn't really sure. She never talked about them with her cousins so....yeah.
