Belief and even witnessing is not evidence.
For a ghost to exist, to have an affect on something, to be seen, they need to be physically there. If they are physically there then we would have measured their existence already. Especially as according to 'witnesses' they don't make a big deal of keeping out of the way, they seem to delight in spending their time playing pranks on the living.
They don't exist - You can't prove something doesn't exist with 100% confidence because you can't prove a negative. Just like I cannot prove with 100% proof that we're not in the Matrix, or governed by a society of robot elders, or that the royal family are a legion of shapeshifting lizards.
Ghosts have their origin in storytelling. You might as well believe Vampires exist. Same thing.
