Sure, there are such stories. Consider the idea that during Christmas, when the world is supposed to be full of joy and celebration, there could be a darker side. Ghosts in these stories might be the result of unfinished business or a warning. For instance, a ghost might appear to a family on Christmas to remind them of a wrong they had done in the past. These stories can also be a way to explore themes of redemption and forgiveness during the Christmas season.
A well - known Christmas devotional scary ghost story is about a lonely lighthouse keeper on Christmas. Every year on Christmas night, he would see a ghostly ship approaching.

Another story tells of a small town where on Christmas Day, a mysterious figure in a black cloak would walk through the streets. People thought it was the ghost of a witch who was cursed to wander during the happiest time of the year.
