He can't see them, he can hear them at best.
He can't hear them either. Otherwise he would not need to ask Rukia where the ghost is because he (Chad) could know where the ghost is following his (ghost's) voice.
And... wtf with that strength? Is it related to the scar in his back? To him being able to talk and interact with the parakeet? Does he maybe have some special ability, like Ichigo's had before being shinigami (remember, Ichigo was able to see ghost even when he was just an average human)? Damn, so many questions...
It was already suspicious that he could stand the hit of the steel beam in the previous chapter...
