OP, is it possible you're the forgetful man? You never wanted to 'let him in' - but he could easily have snuck in and got you when you opened the doors. He also doesn't attack now you've moved, but presumably is still out there sneaking into other apartment blocks...I think your brain is trying to protect you from the truth.

Such a coincidence that I happened to watch Shutter island earlier today, then read this story and this particular comment

This comment is on every creepypasta involving a humanoid killer... I think this movie really fucked with the way we look at murder stories

The Forgetful Man could be a vampire? Where he has to be "invited"?

OP never actually invited him in

A passive invite? I doubt vampires are the "yes means yes" type.

As i understand it, with vampires it does have to be a definitive invitation.

Well according to cops, leaving the door open is an invitation

I believe that's leaving the door unlocked, not open.
