The Andy Williams song “It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year” talks about scary ghost stories. Are there more than A Christmas Carol?

Very popular in the Victorian era. Just google "Victorian Christmas ghost stories" or similar. I'm not well versed in them sufficient to recommend specific ones, but I have heard of their existence as a phenomenon before.
