I believe that ghosts or "spirits" really do exist. I also believe that it is because they have a "problem" of some sort that is not yet solved to their satisfaction, is a victim of a murder or other crime; or they are caught between this world and the next world, maybe because they committed suicide.

Ghosts cannot exist without us to experience them. So you can sort of say "ghosts" come from our minds. It is our own psychic energy that is used to create this phenomena. Some people (depending on their own brain wiring) see ghosts and others can smell them, or feel touched by them. And still...others can hear them. Depending on how you mind perceives things depends on how you experience a "ghost." We cannot study ghosts without people's experiences. If "ghosts" have been mentioned since the dawn of time. Every person cannot be lying about them, right?
A ghost may not be a "soul," of someone but just what is known as "place memory." Our emotional thoughts sometimes can be planted on an atmosphere and create this phenomena. It is not a dead person's spirit at all...it is just our psychic energy lingering at a place we had a very strong attachment to, when we were alive. This "energy implant" is common in what is known as residual hauntings.

Change the word to spirits and the answer is yes, both good and bad. Ghosts were an invention of books and film.

I don't know if they exist or not. I think it's odd that so many people see ghosts in the middle of the night after they've just woken up. Those aren't ghosts. They're called dreams and/or nightmares.

They exist. Many famous people have been seen as ghosts including Abe Lincoln, Marilyn Monroe, and Charlie Chaplin. People who don't believe may believe that way because they cannot handle seeing or feeling paranormal things.

I don't ghosts are invention of people's imagination, i have been less than 20 meters from my aunt who claimed she saw my grandma after she died. But i don't believe ghosts are what people say they are.
People say ghosts are the spirit of dead people, but i object to that, the bible says, it is appointed unto man once to die, after that, his judgment, nothing about them coming back. So i believe the only explanation would be that ghosts are demons posing as the spirits of people.
The bible says the devil is able to disguise himself as an angel of light to deceive us, why won't he or his demons do that to deceive people.

No ghosts do not exist. The Bible says that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. It does say that there are demonic spirits that are sent to confuse and harass us.

Yes, they exist. To what level I don't know, but believe they do exist.
