If you think there is a ghost it is up to you to provide evidence for it. And after you do that please explain how your ghost interacts with the real world in a perfectly consistent manner.

Remember it is always up to the person claiming something exists to advance evidence

real world

Ontology is about how we would objectively prove there is such a thing as the real world. There is a reason in science we're not talking about truth finding, but falsification.

Basically we can only come up with theories and try to disprove them. Objectively proving existence is an unsolved problem.

But that's a tldr of the entire history of philosophy, there's plenty of there to explore.

We got it backwards from the beginning. It is all these weird brain in the jar arguments that need to prove themselves not the physical world that does.
