Yes i have seen a few ghosts / Spirits over the years.
from a young age of 7-9 and in my teenage years 18-19
also in my mid 20s.
I dont think you could put it down to just imagination.
Even in my early thirties i had spirits hauntings in a house i rented
So yes there are such things as ghosts.
Some people only believe if they see them i guess.
Havent seen or head about goblins till lord of the rings. so i wouldnt know anything about them really.
Vampires - i believe in draining energy from people not blood.
So i think they are called pyshic vampires rather than the real movie line point of view.. were they are blood sucking creatures.

You'll find ghost stories and lore from nearly every single culture around the world for centuries upon centuries. As a good friend of mine recently told me, "Come on, who hasn't seen a ghost?". Many people have interesting and often unique ghost stories if you ask but a lot of people are reluctant to say anything for fear of looking foolish etc. Most ghosts that you see popularized were victims of violent deaths or are doomed to vander the earth for eternity for a variety of reasons (In Europe for instance when they made a new cemetery they sacrificed a specific colored dog so that when it died it would be the spectral hound that would guard the cemetery forever. If they did not do so, the soul of the first human buried there would be doomed to guard the cemetery forever in the guise of a dog).
Goblins and bogeys and such were creatures mostly from English and French folklore. Some were just used as a way to keep naughty children in-line while others were tales to inform people of nasty, spiteful or annoying spirits. In a way, goblins and similar sprites are said to function much the same way ghosts do. Every now and then you can run into an Enligh tale were a goblin/boggart/bogey etc actually drove families away from their houses because of the substantial mischief it caused. These spirits were mostly linked to the belief in fairies and spirits of that ilk.
Again with ghosts vampire legends are found nearly all over the world. I remember reading one legend were the werewolf socerror was turned into a vampire after death. Most of the old English stories of vampires are very different from what you find in horror movies and stories of that nature. Traditionally, the vampire was the spirit of the person after death who rose from the grave and either stole the life blood or the energy of his or her closest relatives/family.
If you want to read about ghost stories I suggest that you search for some of the testimonials online or go to your local library; they often have large collections of those books. You might even find something local to your area ;).

Ghosts yes, goblins no, vampires yes (there are cults that have members who drink blood etc but don't turn into bats lol, the legend actually evolved from a real life disease) Don't let ghost shows FOOL YOU. Orbs are NOT ghost simply spects of dust, and our mind finds familiar shapes etc in objects. Ghost hunters on tv pre plan those things to get veiwers. To truly believe you need to have your own experience.

I have never seen a ghost, but I do believe they are possible as I do believe in souls.
Goblins are only from fairy tales designed to frighten the listener.
Vampires of fiction & Hollywood do not exist. However the basis of the vampire can be found in the history of Vlad Tepes the Impaler, of Romania. For those who are interested in being a "vampire" I would highly discourage the "sharing" of blood due to the high risk of passing on a variety of diseases such as AIDS.
(And in response to an earlier answerer, I believe in the existence of God. Science is our way of trying to understand and explain God's workings and miracles. He gave us free will to choose to believe or not, to do what is right or wrong, or to do nothing at all but blame everyone else for what is wrong in the world instead of trying to make a difference even if it is only a small one.)

I most certainly believe in ghosts and even vampires. Perhaps vampires are an expired breed but ghosts are still and always will be around. I don't find them scary though. I'm sure there are those out there that are evil but my husband encountered one at the first house we lived at and she was really quite nice. Young girl passed away in the times of the wagons. She was just curious more than anything.

I've seen spirits (yes, I was totally awake and sober) and I saw some sort of gremlin thing outside my window. The gremlins are just lower level astral beings. Spirits are real. I saw a severed head of an old guy in my room when I was about 7 years old. Our house was haunted, the woman that had owned it before killed herself in our garage before my parents bought it. I've also had a ghost turn the lights on for me at college (2 times!).

Ghosts, yes. Goblins and Vampires, no.
Ghosts cannot hurt you. They are people who have passed away, and for whatever reason decided not to go to the White Light of the Holy Spirit. Usually they don't know that they are dead, and are irritable because they cannot figure out why no one can see them... Ask them to go Home to God. Go to the Light!

Ghost, goblins, vampires, and Gods exist only in the mind of mankind.
I personally have never seen anything supernaturally evil in my life (nor do I hope to) so I can only conclude that they are just stories. I see little evidence in the Bible that demon possessions/attacks are possible in this day and age. Can we be influenced by them, yes I believe so, but not taken over or physically harmed. I think there power was stripped from them at the Cross. I have also heard other speakers/pastors claim that they don't have permission from God to even appear physically to us.
