As much as I love an opportunity to use the word 'mayhap', I must say my answer is no. I leave a . 01% door open to being wrong on the matter, lol. I think the soul is the mind, it's where our consciousness is and the most important thing that makes 'you' truly 'you'.

A soul...or life force..energy...the word soul has religion attached to it for whatever reasons..but I personal think a soul is our energy...and energy does not die..or who knows we may fade like stars..over time.. But in that time lived thousands of lives...we may never truly die...just recycle

Probably not, but if there was some proof I’d have to rethink my position.

But there are "soles".
And a sole is as much a soul
And maybe more
For it walks the miles
And treads the floors
It is our grind upon this Earth
And nothing else
By which we have defined any worth
And hope it helps
My body needs no whistles
Needs no bells
Rung within the ether,
heavens, or hells
Save me not
And let me rot
Forget me so
And so it goes...

Yes, but only while the body that houses that soul is alive, after that when the body is dead, the soul vanishes, ie ceases to exist.

I think there's a thing which is defined of character, of experience, and of what we've taken to be sacred that becomes our inner core. Who we are, if you will, and will make us act in certain ways (especially when acting reflexively). For lack of a better word I would call that core a soul. There is also part of us that's pure energy (electrons?) and energy doesn't die. I've heard that science can't account for a small amount of weight which leaves the body after death and I think that's the energy which will become part of something else.
Now does that energy have memory, or knowledge? I don't believe it does so I wouldn't call it a conscious thing. In trying to explain ghostly activity, however, I wonder if that energy isn't electrons which are held to a local area by some magnetic activity? By local I mean this sphere. If so, and by chance became arranged (momentarily) in the same pattern as a person they once were, might certain people not sense it? IDK. Just a guess. I no longer think on it much more than that.
