Sometimes, Ghasts may spawn in the real world, next to portals, if enough space is given "around" it. This only happens rarely, so don't expect ghasts everywhere in your world. Ghasts may sometimes spawn near hacked portal blocks

That's not proof :\
Just because the MC wiki says it's possible does not mean that it is.

Just because the MC wiki says it's possible does not mean that it is.
Notch also said that it is possible for Ghasts to spawn near Portals, But it happens very rarely so it's nothing to be worried about.
they'll spawn near the portals, yes. Rarely. But they won't actually travel through.
That only states that Ghasts will spawn NEAR portals and does not specify if that means on the Nether or Earth side. It also states that they won't go through it.

Well, what the hell are you asking about it for, then? They spawn in the Overworld, but they won't travel, meaning that they eventually despawn. Also, they don't go through the portals, they just spawn near them.
Does making lots and lots of portal make it possible to get groups of them or raise your odds by a lot you'll see one? If they can destroy sand/dirt they could help landscape for when I'm bored
They can go through a portal because with all static liquids (Yeah, portals count as liquids, the purple bit anyways) there is a small line (2 infact, -0.1 on 2 sides, and the corner) that allows anything thats too big to activate the 'Portal event' So if you had a portal like this:
You would be able to enter the portal by just walking into the obsidian, and not actually jumping into the portal...
=Portal Of course
EDIT: So if a ghast stayed pinned against the portal, it would travel to the normal world
Wondering if (as FireKit queried,above) the multiple portals in close (mundane/earth-side/'real world') proximity increases chances of ghast spawning/portaling in?
Either way, new project to add to a 'someday' list: glass dome ghast 'zoo!' ...wonder if you could do that as half of a sphere, in the bottom of which swim squids.... (compare/contrast tentacled mobs in minecraft, anyone?)

That tweet was in response to FFFruedy asking if ghasts could come into the overworld through portals.

THey distroy torches, sand, dirt, mabie wood, but not stuff like cobble stone.
And make sure to space your portals atleast 10 blocks apart for MAXIMUM GHASTING.

I was the second person to use the avatar I have. The rest took it from me. The first I asked, he said yes.
I know what I'm doing. I plan ahead, or get tired and screw up everything.

Edit: Saying "Yes, it can happen." is not evidence :\
To see the ratio of "yes"s to "no"s

That would be proof... but it's not 100% right.

Whoops!

I thought mobs could not travel through portals?
