Compasses were used on ships in the Ming Dynasty. Why do China people say that their ancestors only used compasses to catch ghosts?

Please, what Taoist priests use to catch ghosts is not the same as the compass invented by the four great inventions.

This compass is a detection of supernatural forces. There are many heroic abilities in ancient myths in China. They are all ghosts mentioned by China, such as invisible ghosts, deformed ghosts, flying ghosts, invulnerable zombies and reborn ghosts. They also have supernatural power, so the compass mainly responds to that power. Therefore, ordinary people can't turn with a compass, while capable people can turn faster with greater strength.
