Uninvited Spirit
I was staying at a friends house and we were getting some snacks in the middle of the night. (approx 4:13 AM) As we passed the living room after left his kitchen to go back to his room he saw I got a cold chill (that I paid no attention too) and he picked up the pace a little. Back in his room he said he saw 'something' sitting on the couch, looking at him in a mocking way. He then went on into a story about an when he was in another town about 2 years back and had an encounter with something. While he was walking the street (Around 3:00 AM (no bueno)) he had the feeling of being followed and continued walking back home. He saw something dart into the shadows and as he continued walking. Soon after branches in trees above him started breaking and other eerie events happened, he then sprinted back home. This was about 2 years ago. He now lives a few towns over from that area and has had roughly 7 or so actual encounters with it since then and countless 'feelings' of something. Every encounter it's only watching him, kind've mimicking him. All he's seen is a shadowy figure, wearing something resembling a baseball cap, he smells tobacco. It's never made a sound. He also feels emotionally drained after. Every encounter has been late at night, the earliest being around 11:00 PM. We put a sea salt line at his door and he says he feels like it's gone, for the night at least.
Also my friend is 19 and gay, if that might have some play as to why the spirit is following him. He also has some psychic ability, in the form of precognitive dreams and/or strong intuitive feelings.
I'm far from an expert in this field but if i had to make an educated guess it's a shadow person, or ghost that is feeding off his energy? Maybe something similar to a poltergeist that enjoys taunting him?
What I'm asking is the best way to get this spirit to leave him, he's told it to leave his room once before and it complied, but slowly. He's also told it to leave him alone but it hasn't. I suggested trying to talk to it or a sage smudge stick but i figured it'd be best to get a second opinion in case it's not just a normal spirit.

Somewhat related, anyone have a good link or info on "the hat man". It seems to be a pretty common place 'shadow person'.

The Supernatural World :: Who Is The Hat Man and What Does He Want?
One of many, personally i believe it was just a meme like slenderman. But if you want it, i hope it helps.
The Hat Man
"It turns out that a witch (Hispanic variety) had sent the hat man. Word had it that as part of the spell this witch had gone to a cemetary and placed a soul in a bottle and told it to go and get us. because this witch wanted us to travel to where she lived in Florida."

Yeah idk, thats how he described it and 'Hat Man' fit the description. Whatever it is what would be the best way to banish it, since it won't leave on request?

Apparently wind chimes throw shadow people off their game, something to do with frequency and pitch.. But i dont have this on good authority.
That is if it is a shadow person and not a spirit or demon.
-
I'm assuming it's either a shadow person or typical spirit and not a demon. After two years you figure a demon would get malevolent or something right? Thanx btw.
-
He's tried telling it and it doesn't leave. It's not malevolent exactly, but he says it leaves him drained emotionally and physically.

I kind've thought it could've been a psychic vampire but my knowledge in that field is limited ha. Apparently his mom has had similar encounters, but i think that him bringing it up made her over exaggerate some mundane happening. Then again idk for sure. We'll give it a go though and see what happens. Gracias

Be careful not dismiss his mothers insights, as it can at times run through generations. It could be useful in helping your friend..

I wasn't dismissing it, but sometimes people will 'create' things in their memories at times. Hard to explain and I wish I could remember what it was called. Also the first encounter was his, his mom never experienced anything before, although his grandmother had some ability. Nonetheless we'll see what we can do.
