Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come

Silent hooded apparition

The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come is a figure from Charles Dickens's *A Christmas Carol*, the third and final spirit to visit Ebenezer Scrooge.

Unlike the other ghosts, this one never speaks and appears as a dark, hooded phantom pointing toward scenes of death and neglect.

It represents the future that awaits if present behavior continues unchanged: He dreaded the silent approach of the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come.
