The answer I've gone with in the past is "you can't". The players then went away and looked for some means of dealing with the problem. I can't say I was entirely happy with this, but it did give them an extra challenge and a reason to play wtih relationships and persuasion.

Well, something capable of causing harm. I'd rule that magical weapons can use their magic to harm ghosts. OTOH I don't see magic that causes purely physical effects (fireball?) likely to harm ghosts.
