"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."

Good one. Don't you remember what he was referring to? His father's ghost. Horatio was on the side of rationality. Good example if you are stating that science doesn't account for hallucinations. 

Actually, it turns out that many ghost reports can be attributed to carbon monoxide poisoning. 

"fumes wouldn't just come from the furnace of an old house. The kind of gas that they used in gas lights in that era had as much carbon monoxide as a car's exhaust. Carbon monoxide poisoning can cause all manner of hallucinations-- audio, visual, feeling strange things on their skin when there was nothing there.
