The Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come was a spirit that haunted Ebenezer Scrooge at about 1am, on Christmas Day, 1843.The spirit was shaped like a tall, thin man. Only, it dressed, in a long black robe, with a large black hood, so no-one could see any of its features. All that could be seen of him, were his two glowing red eyes, peeking out of the hood, and the top of his thin, bony, long very pale green hand, which crept out of his sleeve.Scrooge first met the spirit, when he was standing on this very dry land. The air was very misty, and there were a couple of dead trees nearby. Scrooge saw the spirit approach him. The spirit harrows Scrooge with dire visions of the future if he does not learn and act upon what he has witnessed. Most disturbing to Scrooge are visions of a pawnbroker bidding on Scrooge's belongings, stolen from his home by his domestic servants; of a covered corpse on Scrooge's bed, presumably his own; of the callous indifference of Scrooge's fellow members of the stock exchange to the news of a death, again presumably Scrooge's; and of the grief-stricken Crachit family following Tiny Tim's death, the implication being that Tim will die because of Scrooge's failure to pay Crachit a just wage sufficient to care for the boy. The final vision presented by the spirit is of Scrooge's own neglected and untended grave, prompting the miser to aver that he will change his ways in hopes of changing these shadows of what may be. - WikipediaWhen the sprit takes Ebenezer Scrooge to a cemetery and shows him Ebenezer Scrooge's grave stone, Scrooge begs the spirit to not make this vision a reality, and promises to be a good person. At this, the spirit fades away, and at the same time, the cemetery transforms into Scrooge's bedroom, in the morning, where Scrooge lies on his bed.
