Aliens exist just not on Earth, there's probably life out there on some other planet in the universe. Maybe they're more advanced than us but they've not visited because if they did, law of averages would be they'd have taken over with superior firepower.
Ghosts and demons etc, I'm inclined to believe a lot of it is environmental effects (vibrations causing delusions, spores etc) and some of is unknown psychosis. Doesn't mean I'll walk into an abandoned mental hospital alone at night, that's dumb regardless.
I think we tend to overestimate Earth's potential value to an advanced alien race.
Part of it's a bit of tunnel vision, ego, and general ignorance but a lot of it's because it's not easy to incorporate Earth(lings) into a science fiction story without propping up our planet as being somehow relevant and significant to the plot.
And even if there was any awareness of our existence, I strongly suspect most aliens would just take an approach of monitoring us from a distance.

Yeah, if alien life visited Earth, it would prove it's not intelligent because once you leave a gravity well, you don't fucking go back into one.
