Terran vs. Protoss can be a difficult matchup as the Terran player, so we need every advantage we can get. With warp gates, a Protoss player can amass a huge army for an early game push that will stomp you into the ground if you're not ready for it. Here's some strategies you can use with ghosts that will help you survive and push forward to take the game.
An early Ghost Academy against Protoss players can provide you with a lot of useful tools to be able to survive and push out for an easy win. If you focus mostly on getting marines in the early game, you'll have enough gas to train a few ghosts and add them to your army. Ghosts bring some great abilities to the table, most notably EMP.
The early push by a Protoss player will usually consist of a mix of Zealots, Sentries, and Stalkers. How many of each will depend on the player. Zealots are tough meat shields, sentries will force field your escape route, and stalkers will shoot from the back to destroy your army quickly.
When you throw a couple ghosts into the mix, a well placed EMP or two can seriously cripple an advancing Protoss army. it will completely drain all the affected units shields, as well as the sentries' energy so they won't be able to cast any force fields. If the Protoss player doesn't back off or micro well, a small group of stimmed marines will easily take them out.
Once you have the combat shield and stim packs researched you should move out with a marine, medivac & ghost force. Many times you will be able to easily take the win as long as you can micro your ghosts well and cast EMP accurately.
