three nights.
The ghosts of Christmas past, present and future.
Marley says that they will come on successive nights at midnight. However, they come one after another in one big dream/vision that takes place the night of Christmas Eve.
They visit all in one night but the visitation takes place across the 12 days of christmas. The ghost make Scrooge see life across the main 12 days doing so all in one night
In the Charles Dickens story "A Christmas Carol" 4 spirits (ghosts) visit the main character Ebeneezer Scrooge . The first ghost is that of his dead business partner Jacob Marley. He tells Scrooge that he will be visited by 3 other ghosts during the rest of Christmas Eve night. They are: The ghost of Christmas Past, The Ghost of Christmas Present, and the Spirit of Things yet to Be.
The book begins on Christmas Eve. Scrooge thinks the journey lasts three nights, (as each of the ghosts come when the clock strikes one) but at the end of the book he realizes that the whole experience took place in one night as he wakes the next morning on Christmas Day.
They all appeared in one night. However, their time span lasted across the 12 days of Christmas. This is why Scrooge on awakening on Christmas Morning is supprised that he had undergone so much in one night citing the the "ghosts could do anything".
Four in total. Firstly there was Jacob Marley Scrooges old business partner that tells Scrooge of the life changes he must make to avoid everlasting torment then The Ghost Of Christmas Past, The Ghost of Christmas present & The Ghost Of Christmas Yet To Come
It is from Silent Night Christmas Carol.
