You can't prove the absence of something such as ghosts.

Agreed.
'Scientists' still can't agree on what causes OBEs in near death patients.

I doubt ghosts exist but I'd rather people kept an open mind given how science ends up wrong about a great deal of things over time.

Indeed, can't remember where but it was recently mentioned 50% of scientific 'facts' are disproved over any individual's lifetime.

It's all nice and stuff that you keep preaching about 'facts' and 'evidence' but I'm yet to see a single piece of actual 'evidence' coming from you, nor any reference or link to any reputable source of evidence other than telling people to 'Google it'.
If you want anyone to take your argument seriously then post a link or reference to a single reputable peer reviewed article that states categorically that ghosts do not exist.
In the absence of this, the rest of all you've said is irrelevant.
