Can a star exist in intergalatic space (the empty, or virtually empty, space between galaxies)? If so, have any been discovered by astronomers so far?

PM E.T man he knows.

Why not? It's not really different than space inside a galaxy from my limited knowledge. I am sure there are lone stars out there that got whipped out by gravity when two galaxies "collided".

They can exist there, but can't have formed there in isolation. They will have been "expelled" from their home galaxy by some form of gravitational interaction.
