It is important to note beforehand that demons, spirits, and devils have all different words in Hebrew, and thus should not be treated interchangeably, but as separate concepts/entities. Do realize that this question can be answered in great length, but for the sake of brevity we'll do what we can here. First off, there is the necessity to realize that an evil spirit might be evil when it comes to our human perspective because of the product or consequence we see of its presence or actions, but we must realize that according to The Bible, they have a boss, as can be seen in the book of I Sam. when it says, "God sent a melancholy(evil)spirit to torment King Saul. This brings us to the first answer to the question. People can get evil spirits when sent to them by God. I'm not here to answer why, just how. Secondary, spirits are attracted to human emotion. For example, if a person feels angry about something, spirits are capable of taking that emotion, and act like catalysts to increase its power and potency. Take the same example of King Saul, he was depressed and the spirit increased the power of such emotion into blinding homicidal rage towards David.
