Why aren't there ghost of seagulls or prawns.
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.
Maybe there is...
Unlikely. I'm pretty confident Aliens exist though.
Even the female ghosts are banned from entering most bars in Australia outside of Sydney and Perth. Outrageous.
What would your explanation of EVP's be then?
Why would I feel the need to have an explanation for unexplained phenomena? At my age? I loved all that stuff when I was a teenager (the occult; Borley Rectory; Aliester Crowley; Erich von Däniken; Uri Geller). Later I grew up. The natural world is hard enough to explain without worrying about illusionism, pranksters, fraudsters and charlatans. Check out James Randi and his one million dollar challenge if you still feel drawn to the allure of the 'supernatural'.
Funny that because I find it reassuring.
If there did happen to be anything beyond this life I would be bloody livid.
Other things that don't exist:
Time travel
Reincarnation
Clairvoyance
God
They're a conspiracy probably

As soon as EvD is mentioned, I always lose any sense of belief in anything he's talking about.Why would I feel the need to have an explanation for unexplained phenomena? At my age?

How confident, exactly? Confident as in 'confident the Albion won't be relegated this sason' or 'confident I will win the lottery...eventually' or 'confident I will live forever'?
