How do soul sleep adherents make sense of Jesus' acknowledgement of the existence of disembodied spirits and ghosts?

Luke 24:36-39 (NASB): > 36 Now while they were telling these things, Jesus Himself suddenly stood in their midst and *said to them, “Peace be to you.” 37 But they were startled and frightened, **and thought that they were looking at a spirit.** 38 And He said to them, “Why are you frightened, and why are doubts arising in your hearts? 39 See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself; **touch Me and see, because a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you plainly see that I have**.” Matthew 14:26-27 (NASB): > 26 When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, **“It is a ghost!”** And they cried out in fear. 27 But immediately **Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.”** In these passages we see Jesus acknowledging the existence of disembodied spirits / ghosts. Of course, these entities are awake, not asleep, and yet they lack physical bodies. How do soul sleep adherentes make sense of this?
