yes, it is amazing how the spirit realm influences all of us. I feel I have a negative spirit just from being... well... around very awful people, some from the very beginning of my life
Yeah, I've noticed that some people seem to have this negative icky "aura" around them.  Tough when you can't avoid them!  On the other hand, some people are completely the opposite!  I think it's supernatural, not just mood.  Some people attract evil spirits and some attract good ones.

Count yourself lucky to have recognized them for what they are before it was too late!

It's so very important to protect our children from malevolent influence.

for sure.
There was this one great evil in my life when I was young and I didn't fully see it or understand it (though I felt it on some deep level) until I was much older. I  would not have begun to understand it even then if not for... hitting "rock bottom" as they call it in the 12 step programs, and waking up and smelling the coffee of how messed up my life was. I began to do a serious 4th Step and began to uncover a lot of stuff..
My family was Catholic (still are, I guess) and most of them were normal but there was this bad apple... and some bad apples really do spoil the whole bunch. This person corrupted my whole family w/ the evil... No, it wasn't molestation but there are... people who molest people's minds and hearts... and lives...
anyway, where was I?
hmmmmm

I knew a priest who spent a lot of time in big cities. He said that when he would walk down the sidewalk in Manhattan there were a lot of people walking both ways, so he would be in a large crowd. But every so often he would get a feeling about someone who was walking nearby. He said that he could feel the evil that surrounds some, it's a feeling that cannot be ignored because it fairly demands attention.
.
And this would be regarding someone he had never met and does not recognize, but it was the spirit of the person that was recognizable -- he was well acquainted with that spirit, and it was as if the wicked spirit could not contain himself for whatever reason. The priest could not say what it was precisely, but he had thought that the wicked spirit knew there was a priest nearby and therefore projected some kind of malevolent aura which some priests could sense, but not all priests. He said I should not think of it as a gift or a talent or some kind of holiness, but rather it is more of a curse. 
.
He tried to use this sense for the good, but sometimes it was rather taxing because in Manhattan there are a lot of people in public that give off this impression of presence so just a routine walk down the street for this priest could become a taxing ordeal.
.
He wasn't talking about seeing a "ghost" but he WAS talking about feeling the effect of a ghost's presence.

i think if you don't attract evil spirits you are not a good Christian
