Ghosts are not possible according to our current understanding of physics. That does not mean they are impossible. 200 years ago, it was impossible for man to fly. Before that, it was impossible that the world wasn't flat. We now know that neither is true.

There is no proof. As I mentioned above you might as well be arguing for the existence of vampires or shapeshifting lizards.
And yes, just because something can't be measured in the lab doesn't mean it does exist. Science isn't just about lab work. It's about removing human bias from a theory in order to learn something new about the Universe. We could conduct other experiments to at least lend some evidence for ghosts. We could go to a location famed for it's ghosts and see if there is a lot of unexplained stuff happening.
If ghosts exist and are actually having a physical effect on the world then we could certainly find out about it.

We could. Do I believe in ghosts? Yes and no. I seek proof, so I am open to the possibility they do exist. I have even experienced things that could be considered ghosts. In my case, however, a lot of what I have experienced could be caused by other things.
Even if they do exist they could be caused by an interaction between the brain of the watcher and something in the environment. That is speculation on my part, and while it doesn't explain how ghosts move things, it could explain why we can't record proof.
I do find it interesting that people who are certain that God exists are also certain that ghosts don't..
