To answer my own poll, most definitely. A soul is what gives our bodies life and intelligence. Without it, the critical parts of our bodies (i.e. the brain, the heart) cannot function.
I absolutely have a soul. Everyone has a soul. The soul is who I am. I am not a brain or a beating heart or functioning organs. I am a living, caring, breathing soul with a heart that cares for other soul's destinations. When I die, my physical body will stay 6 feet under in the ground and rot away and turn back to dust, but my soul will be taken to heaven to be with its Creator and live forever and be given a new body, a body without pain, without tears, without any kind of sickness or sorrow, a body that will never break down. Those who have not believed in Christ in the life they were given, will still live forever, but it will be judged and sent to an eternity in a lake of sulphur fire and eternal separation from God. No one will ever get used to hell and no one will die once in hell, it will be constant excruciating torment and torture that has no end whatsoever. Once a soul is sent to hell there is no hope for it anymore, it can never get to heaven after that. The reverse is true, as well. Once a soul enters heaven, hope is turned to reality, and does not have to worry anymore about being sent to hell.
How do ghosts fit into this? Do you believe in the possibility that -for some of us- our souls may not immediately go to either heaven or hell, but remain in a sort of earthly purgatory for a variety of reasons, awaiting assistance from the living to move on 'into the light'?
