...do microbes exist?... you cant see them without special equipment.
With the right equipment you can measure their existence. While personally have not used said equipment to measure microbes I have seen plenty of pictures and videos taken by other people, so many that I trust it is more likely that microbes do exist. Plenty of people report their success in interacting with, and controlling, microbes too. It has become a well understood topic and anyone could repeat the experiments if they wanted to.
What special equipment is needed to measure the existence of a soul/spirit living without the body?
... something like that happens in the spirit world. you cannot perceive it ... its really really dangerous ... i have seen it with my very two eyes.
Assuming you're not misdirecting from "a soul/spirit that outlives the body" to "the occult" in that paragraph, these statements conflict with each other. Either it's detectable or it isn't.
Your response is in line with others I've heard, which proves more that it's not real: If the only way someone can measure it is to perceive it with their mind through their own senses, i.e. only a biological being counts as the "equipment", then you can't be sure that it actually exists. The moment you say something like "well first you have to take this drug" or "first you have to recite this enchantment over and over until your in the right frame of mind" then you've introduced so much error into the measurement that you can't tell if the thing you're perceiving is the drug, a mental emotion, or the actual soul/spirit.
