It is possible to prove a negative.
Science - Pluto is not a planet
Medicine - Negative test results
Law - Not guilty.
You can certainly prove that something does not exist in the place where it is claimed to exist.
Those are really not the same as proving a claim of non-existence, which you know as well as I, is what was meant.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
