NO!
Funny that because I find it reassuring.
If there did happen to be anything beyond this life I would be bloody livid.

I think it's just an impression left in the ether as it were so not real but just a sort of mist left hanging. My neighbour was driving in the Lake District once and had to slow for a regiment of Roman soldiers on the road which he assumed was one of those re-enactments. After carefully passing them he checked the rear view mirror and there was nothing at all there. He is a pretty genuine bloke so I do believe him, however, he is a Watford supporter so you never know!

Doctor Who, Game of Thrones. It's all made up shit written and acted by people who are paid to do it.

If they do it can only be a select few otherwise we wouldn't be able to move without walking into one. Personally think it unlikely other than an illusion created by the living.

Unsure but it's something that interests me greatly. Wouldn't be a definitive believer however until I experienced something first hand though.

Made up stuff does 'exist' though - as fiction. The things you list are real TV programmes. Time travel, reincarnation, clairvoyance and god are all made up so they also exist as fiction. I think the OP is asking whether ghosts exist as real things. Obviously they exist as fiction. Especially in A Christmas Carol. And Ghostbusters.
An interesting question is "does something exist simply because we believe it exists"? When I was a lad I knew people who thought that Coronation Street was what we would call today 'reality TV'. We are all free to believe anything, but this has no relationship to whether the belief is correct or real. I think the OP is asking whether ghosts actually exist, not whether we believe they exist. However he may not have thought his question through.

Unlikely. I'm pretty confident Aliens exist though.
I thought the question was about ghosts of people, which clearly don't exist. I am not sure whether prawns have ghosts, but fish certainly do. Back in the 70s, supermarket chicken was described, in Private Eye as 'tasting like fish ghosts that had been incinerated off Bikini Atoll'.
