I, as a philosophy major who actually studies this stuff, will post a real definition for metaphysics since many definitions are bullshit for the most part.
There are two kinds of metaphysics:
-General metaphysics (universal)
-Special metaphysics (particular)
General metaphysics is the study of ultimate reality as in the big picture of reality and is done empirically by most contemporary philosophers. Items of study in general metaphysics are categories, universals, attributes etc. This is not necessarily the study of any afterlife or upper reality; that subject is a matter of special metaphysics. Universals by D.M. Armstrong is a good example of what general metaphysics is.
Special metaphysics has potentially an infinite number of sub branches, each studying one particular subject. One such subject may be ghosts and spirits but most contemporary philosophers dont take this particular subject mater seriously. Topics that are taken seriously are philosophy of mind and psychology, personal identity, and aesthetics.
Unlike physics which studies concrete objects, metaphysics studies abstract objects like mathematics, logic etc.

[Donald Trump]

The science of real as distinguished from phenomenal
being; ontology; also, the science of being, with reference to its
abstract and universal conditions, as distinguished from the science of
determined or concrete being; the science of the conceptions and
relations which are necessarily implied as true of every kind of being;
phylosophy in general; first principles, or the science of first
principles.

Not [total bullshit] and not the truth either, sort of like [dreaming]. Or, to be less polite, sort of like religion, art and [morality].

[Kit]

The branch of philosophy that deals with the first principles of things, including abstract concepts such as being, knowing, identity, time, and space.

[Michiko]

the part of philosophy that is about understanding existence and knowledge
