Let’s say that it’s scientifically proven that ghosts exist. Would they then stop being supernatural and become natural, thus making it impossible to ever have proof of the supernatural?

That’s basically why it’s still unsolved whether consciousness is a non-physical gestalt in itself or just a trick of the human neurological phenomenon: it’s logically impossible to apply empirical methods to observe something outside the bounds of the natural world as we experience it. I had to write a paper on it for my master’s degree a mere five years ago but I didn’t really fall on either side. If you want to read more, I suggest reading up on “zombies”: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/zombies/
Likewise, without wanting to start a debate (and I won’t reply if you do), it’s why “you should prove that God exists” is uncompelling: God by nature isn’t supposed to exist within the realm of empirically provable things.
