And i cant answer anything about the existence of spirits without knowing exactly what you define by spirits. If you mean living entities without a physical body, then i strongly believe they exist, and even that there is at least one of them "inside" each one of us (what some people calls "our souls"). Yet, i cant prove they exist, so it is a matter of belief.
Beliefs can be dangerous.

Beliefs are an idea of what reality is. Like an assumption. If I assume the road is clear and step out into traffic it is my assumption that has got me knocked down. My belief that I am safe.

The spiritualist church was set up by confessed fraudsters yet with all the money to be made the assumption that one can converse with the dead is kept alive.

Maybe since our brains are all similar in structure that we have similar hallucinations that some call 'spirits'.
