Christmas Ghosts Of Future

Appearance
The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, a dark phantom, is the most frightening of all the spirits which Scrooge is visited by. Initially, he seems like a dark shadow on the wall but as he comes out from the walls, Scrooge finds him completely camouflaged in a black hooded robe. The only part in his body that is visible is a single gaunt hand which point towards whatever he wants to show to Scrooge. Unlike the two previous visitors, this character remains silent all throughout his visit and never utters a word; Scrooge understands him through assumptions.

Role In 'A Christmas Carol'
Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come takes Scrooge on a ride in Scrooge's future. First of all, Scrooge is shown that Tiny Tim, his secretary Bob's ill-son, has passed away recently and Bob Cratchit and his family mourn Tiny Tim's death. Owing to Bob Cratchit's minimal wages at the hands of Scrooge, he failed to provide the essential food and medical aid which led to the death of Tiny Tim. Scrooge is shown that he had also recently died and how there is great rejoicing and criticism of him after his death. Fred, Scrooge's nephew and only family, inherits all of Scrooge's money. Scrooge's maid, Mrs. Dilber, steals all of his belongings, even the clothes which he was buried in, and sells them to Old Joe. Those who are attending his funeral are only there for a free lunch.

Portrayal In Films
The character of Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come has made numerous appearances in films, TV serials as well as games.
