Is it possible for there to be negative dimensional beings?

Doubt it, since dimensions is usually just the values you have in the existing dimensions.
For example, we are 3D because we have values different from zero in three dimensions (height, width, depth).
A higher dimensional being (let's say, 10D) would have a value different from zero in 10 dimensions and so on.
The lowest would be 0 as that would mean that you have a value of 0 in all dimensions.

@William
Humans aren't 4-D.
We experience time, but we don't encompass all of it at once.

That part of topology is pretty pretty pretty theoretical, to be fair.
Even the page you linked says from the beginning that it's "an extension of the usual notion of space".
I don't see it being much more legit than something like, say, Pathaphysics.
A 0D object would already, for all intents and purposes, not even exist or affect anything.

I mean, higher dimensions themselves are theoretical.

@Ever Yes, but not as much as negative dimensions. A higher dimension could still be theorized in a more concrete manner based on what we experience in the dimensions we understand and our knowledge of your everyday dimensional space.
Now going backwards from a value of 0 in any dimension/or a negative dimensional being is even worse than that as technically speaking we would be trying to say "What would happen if I had a value of less than 0 in a certain dimension?"
Taking into account that having a value of 0, you already do not exist in a particular dimension, it's extremely theoretical to imagine what would happen if you had a "-1" or "-10 and much more hard to hypothesize than "If I have a 1 in a higher dimension, I exist there/have a higher dimensional space".
