Christmas Scary Stories: Share some really frightening Christmas stories.

In a small town, there was an old, abandoned mansion on the outskirts. Every Christmas Eve, a strange light could be seen in one of the attic windows. One curious boy decided to investigate. As he entered the mansion, it was freezing cold. He heard the sound of Christmas carols playing backwards. Suddenly, a ghostly figure of an old man appeared, holding a bloody ax. It was said that the man had gone mad one Christmas long ago and killed his entire family, and his spirit was doomed to relive that horror every Christmas.
