A Christmas Carol
The first ghost to appear to Scrooge is the Ghost of Christmas Past. This spirit takes Scrooge on a journey through his childhood and past Christmases to help him reflect on his life choices and actions.
The third ghost that came to visit Ebenezer Scrooge in a Christmas Carol was the Ghost of Christmas Present, if you include Marley's ghost, but if you do not include Marley, then the third (and therefore last) ghost was that of the Christmas Yet to Come, a spectral ghost whose most terrifying feature was that of his muted voice.
