Can non-Jedi see force ghosts

Do force ghosts only appear to Jedi or can non-Jedi see them too? Like if Obi-Wan’s ghost appeared to Luke while Han is present

Han didn't see Obi-Wan's Force ghost as it disappeared on Hoth. Leia did not appear to notice the Force ghosts of Obi-Wan, Yoda, and Anakin at the end of Return of the Jedi. It's my best conclusion that non-Force users can't see Force ghosts as they choose to appear to those they want to appear to.

Well, since Obi-Wan's Force ghost vanished as Han showed up, my presumption is that Obi-Wan vanished so Han wouldn't see him... which does imply the possibility of visibility.

Hey, if you're willing to spitball the idea, I am too!

What do force ghosts do with their time, anyway?

Talk to each other I guess.
