My view of negative dimensional objects is one where different objects are all stacked up one on top of the other within the same co-ordinates. Multiple objects may occupy the same space in negative dimensions. It seems to me that just because I can't make sense of the dimensionality doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I'm wondering if there are any real negative dimensional objects in space. Why believe in just singularities?

You're free to extend the definition of the word "dimension" in any way you want, as long as you have a rigorous mathematical definition for your proposed extension. But the generally excepted definition of "dimension" is "the number of independent coordinates you need to list in order to uniquely specify a location within the space," and under this definition a negative dimensionality doesn't make any sense.
