Our definition of ghost encompasses humans on Earth,
Then there are Ghosts, end of the argument.

We will require more than one observer. If there is only one observer, the phenomenon is, by definition, imaginary.
If you give two people drugs and suggest that their is a ghost and describe it to them there is a good chance that they both see the ghost independent of each other.
On the other hand if nobody oberserves a phenomenon that doesn't mean it doesn't exist either.
The number of oberveres doesn't give you the power to distinguish between imaginary and not imaginary phenomenons.

Also, note that Earth is traveling at 300,000 miles an hour around the sun, and faster around the Galaxy, so even in some kind of identically "parallel" universe,
Thats irrelevant their are as many frames of reference which are at rest compared to the earth as frames of reference which are not (their is an infinitive number of both).
In addition there may be other laws that govern that altanative reality.

No, that's the beauty of logic. It is always correct. We are the ones that are wrong. If one presents a statement that invalidates another (presumably true) statement, then the original statement was false; it probably got there because of some wrong initial assumption.
Logic isn't able to make any statements about logic itself.

It could also be that "reality is wrong".

Talking about this in terms of “bad news” or “bad judgment by business leaders” seems archaic. It’s like describing World War One as “a serious diplomatic concern.”
