One way to keep them away is to sprinkle Ganga-jal each night around all the entrances to the room--windows and doors. Chanting the Nrsimha mantras or the Narayan-kavaca before going to sleep is also very effective. And sleep with a Bhagavatam nearby your head. I once had an experience with a ghost in Mayapur when I was serving Srila Prabhupada. I had a vivid dream in which I was attacked by a particularly nasty ghost. When I chanted Hare Krsna to drive it away, it simply became angrier. Then I shouted out the prayers to Lord Nrsimhadeva -- Namaste Narasimhaya! Prahladalada-dayine...." The ghost immediately fled and the dream ended. In fact I chanted so loudly that I woke myself up. I saw Srila Prabhupada later in the morning and described what had happened. I asked him if it was just a dream, or was it really a ghost? He said it could have been either--there are ghosts in the dhamas also. "Anyway," he concluded, "its good that you chanted."
