I think one of the neighbors brought spirits to our building

I have learned from experience that the best way to deal with things of this nature is to fight instinct and use my brain. Since they remind me so much of the Shadow People first I will try ignoring them and starving them out- they will get no negative vibes from us. Since they don't seem to be interested in us I'm guessing that when the neighbor moves they will go with him. If for some reason they remain I will make the space more uncomfortable for them than it already must be. I have additional steps if they become necessary, though I prefer not to make adversaries unless it becomes necessary.

You know, I once lived in a house where some dumbasses were inviting in negative spirits. Actually inviting them in. The same house, under the same roof. I got rid of the spooks for them once, but the dumbasses just invited more in after that, so I told them they were on their own at that point. Those "new" spooks never bothered me, but they gave the inviters absolute hell. I saw them, in the hallway for instance, but they never came into the same room as me. I reckon even spooks know when to bite and when to wag instead, and some humans only learn the hard way.

Just follow your thinker. You appear to be on the right track already. Keep in mind that they can also use "positive vibes", but they don't seem to gain as much strength from them, and can do no harm with what they do get.

Those dumbasses I mentioned above actually asked me if I was gonna get rid of their new guests or not. I just shrugged and said "Nope. They ain't bothering me none, and even spooks gotta have a place to be." and left it at that. So, I get ya when you mention not making unnecessary adversaries.

The main culprit in the aforementioned dumbasses fancied herself to be a "witch", but she was what I can a "Barnes and Noble witch" - got all her "knowledge" out of books written by folks without a clue, but out to make a fast buck. I got mine from "granny women" and hill witches I knew growing up. That knowledge goes back generations, hundreds of years, maybe thousands, and has stood the test of time, so that is what I prefer to go with.

Sometimes people just have to learn the hard way. With youth comes inexperience and also hard lessons. My own experience with the paranormal began not from my own youthful inexperience and curiosity but that of my parents who were dabbling in things best left alone. Thus began a lifelong journey of trial and error, good and bad decisions, chaos and peace. 

I have learned to accept that some things exist whether anyone believes in them or not and how you react to them can make all of the difference in the world. I have also learned that dabblers can be extremely dangerous without even realizing it so it is best to keep away from them. I don't know if the neighbor is a dabbler but negative emotions or a chaotic life situation could draw negative entities just as well. Fortunately neighbors (except for a small group of long timers) usually move when their lease is up for somewhere cheaper so we shall see soon enough. We have been living here for 7 years without issue other than the female presence who has been around me for over 20 years periodically.

As long as the creatures are not here to bother us I have no issues. If they begin to become a problem for us they will be dispatched. When they enter the bedroom they exit extremely quickly as I am guessing it may be painful for them. The rest of the apartment could easily become just as painful for them and it could escalate from there. Ultimately in this dimension I am in control of this space, for now.
