Ghost experience is real even if ghosts aren't

People genuinely have experiences of ghosts and this is well attested, which is distinct from saying there are objectively measurable ghosts; whether an external thing exists doesn't matter because the experience is real, and in the world of Shakespeare's plays ghosts therefore exist.

Evidence Quote

A lot of people have ghost experiences. It's well attested. But does that mean there is a thing out there? Again, it kind of doesn't matter. This is people's experience.
