I'm working on my student film, a super natural thriller. I need to
create some special effects in the film. Any help will we appreciated.
1. A ghost crossing the wall transparently or can peek inside the
fridge. (pretty much as in movie GHOST).
2. I have one scene where tray of CD player opens automatically (well
that's simple, use remote) CD inside the tray pops out, another CD
comes flying and replaces the old CD.
Thanks in advance.

1. a normal transparent ghost should be fairly easy.
film the empty scene, then the scene with the person in it.
put the scene with the person in a higher layer in Premiere or
other editing software, and empty scene in first layer.
Set the transparency of the layer to 50% or something (video
options->transparency in premiere).
To make his head disappear in when he looks through the wall, you could
create a matte for this
(could be created in after effects/other compositor, or a simple image matte
in a paint package and
placed into premiere).
2. for flying CD, do similar to above, create a few seconds of empty video
move the CD manually with your hand behind the CD mostly (or trying not to
cover visible parts of the CD)
then you could use after effects/other compositor or Icarus to remove the
hand/person & be left with just
the flying CD. You might also be able to use CGI for the CD.

If the CD shot will be steady, i guess the easiest way to go is CGI.

How far fx folks have fallen, and how lazy we all have become :)
If the shot is steady and can be tricked out upward with angles (like looking
in from the bottom of the cd tray), the -easiest- way to go, is still good old
fashioned cheaper than gum fishing line.
Failing that, and before the Cg fall-back is used, good ole blue-screening
works fine, rig up your cd from underneath as a rod puppet (mechanisms all
painted blue of course) triggered to seperate from the rod when it makes
contact with the cd tray.
