The Head Doctor seemed a little rushed as he spoke on the intercom, not taking as much pleasure as he usually did in describing the delicious food that would soon be served

It would've been easier to tell himself that Brian was simply out of the loop, but someone that confident in their declarations tended to have a reason to be that way. If Brian had been at this as long as he was implying, it was hard to imagine him having gotten this far without ever being proved wrong.
Which still didn't help things make sense.
"You're concerned about spirits? They don't-they almost never bother anyone. Most of the time, you can't even tell they're there. Or they're just like anyone else. But, you know. Invisible."
Not that spirits couldn't be dangerous; they could. It was simply rare. Given everything else that was out there in the world, spirits were probably the last thing anyone should be concerned about encountering.
Plus, Dennis the ghost made a nice enough housemate, even if he was occasionally overzealous with tossing Wesley the books.

The few nonviolent ghosts he'd run into were few and far between: the only ones he could even think of off the top of his head was their Mom, the death omen Claire, and Molly. Those were the exceptions, not the rule. Now, he didn't know what fairy tale world Angel lived in, but sooner or later he was gonna run into the big bad truth that those spirits "just like everyone else" weren't a dime a dozen. If he was lucky, he'd either be quick enough on the draw to put them to rest or have someone with him to do it for him. Dean couldn't believe he'd lasted on the job, though, thinking spirits were just friendly, invisible people. Oh, they were visible, alright, and they weren't at all friendly.
Dean shook his head as he went back to his meal, going through the last of the pumpkin pie. So much for hoping that Angel might have some real experience behind him - if he couldn't even treat a spirit as something that needed to be put to rest and instead something that should be left alone, then there wasn't much help he could expect from him.

"Some are, but...they aren't common," he said. "Ghosts in general, I mean. I've run into exactly two violent spirits, and one who's taken up rooming with an associate of mine. Spirits tend to keep to their own plane of existence. It's rare for them to cross over."
Admittedly, he didn't seek them out specifically, but if there was one actively causing trouble somewhere, Cordelia's visions would've likely alerted him to it. Generally, there was simply no need to. He had enough on his hands with the vampires and various demons.
Of course, Brian wasn't exactly wrong to be concerned about ghosts. It was just, wasn't there a lot more he should be worried about instead? If he was focusing all of his attention on what was almost never there...
