Tldr: do ghosts exist or am i mentally ill?
So, this is gonna be a pretty long one. Back when i was eleven i lost my memory due to a mostly unknown to me series of events. Particularly i remember gathering a large group of other boys and beating up another boy at night for some reason. Once we let him go he ran away and killed himself by jumping into the sea from a very high place. I have a few other memories that seem to be around that time, like being interrogated by a figure with a pixelated face inside a white room and being spied on by a young woman in a white dress with a fully blacked out face. I don't have any memories before that or anything that could lead me to a clue for finding out what happened. Since then i've had weird nightmares and what seems to be hallucinations/pseudohallucinations and psychotic episodes. I hear or see people that are dead or that never existed at all and hear voices. Particularly for around a year i talked with the ghost of the guy i killed, some time after which i got him to go away. Last time this happened was when i was shovering and something drew a happy face and some weird symbols on the mirror. For my whole life i've believed i'm mentally ill since i also have severe emotional problems. Everyone i've talked to has theories about amnesia, schizoaffection, brain damage... I've believed it my whole life, but what if they're wrong? I'm tired of running from shadows. I don't know what's wrong with me, and i hope y'all have a different explanation. Am i losing my mind?

From a scientific perspective, they have yet to be proven or disproven. Many have tried, (such as the 1907 weight of a soul experiment) however nothing can physically be proven. 

However, I do believe that life does exist after death. Life, or moments in time that is, can be preserved into physical mediums that can be brought back to the present through energy. Plain and simple it's the idea of recordings. Sound and light energy can be captured and preserved through objects (think of photographs, audio and video recorders), and in certain cases these fractals of time can be replayed, in order to do so energy must be applied. The thought that a fragment of life can exist after death is not absolute nonsense, to say so would be plain ignorance. It simply lies within a realm unproven, which makes hypothesizing all the more interesting.

Let me tell you a funny story...
>Back when I was a teen I loved to repair antiques. As cliché as it might sound I've only ever found 1 haunted object in my time searching through old junk stores.
I remember it clear as day, the shop's interior looked like a hoarders nest. Its walkways were filled with forgotten machines, century old toys, and worn furniture. Suffice to say it was my kind of place. A few hours in and I found it. It was an old stuffed bear, I would say late 80's. Its crimson velveteen ribbon stood out to me as intriguing, so I decided to take a closer look. 
>I grabbed the bear with one hand only to find it was much heavier than any plush had the right to be. 
I lifted with both hands, only to feel a deep sorrow well from within me. I brought it to the front desk, told the clerk what I knew and he decided to cut the back open.

>Turns out the insides of that innocent teddy bear was filled with human ashes. It was a teddy bear urn, which carries the remains of a dead child. The cops were called, and it turned out some dementia ridden old lady had sold her child by accident.
