It really depends on the specific ghost stories. Some can be centuries old, passed down through generations. Others might be relatively new, created in recent times.
The 'Ghost Story for Christmas' series has some great tales. For example, 'The Signal - man' is quite spooky. It tells the story of a signal - man who is haunted by a spectre that seems to be a warning of impending doom. The atmosphere of the railway setting and the sense of dread make it a memorable Christmas - themed ghost story.
Well, 'A Christmas Carol' is a very well - known one. The three ghosts that visit Scrooge really bring out the essence of a Christmas ghost story. They show him his past mistakes, the current state of things he ignores, and the future that awaits if he doesn't change. Then there's 'The Ghostly Guest' which is about a family who has an unexpected visitor during Christmas. This visitor seems normal at first but then strange things start to happen, and they realize it might be a ghost. And 'The Christmas Haunting' is a story where a young girl starts seeing the ghost of an old woman in her new house on Christmas Eve, and as the story unfolds, she discovers the connection between the ghost and the house's history.
No. While they are called Christmas Ghost Stories, they can be read at any time. The Christmas setting is just a backdrop, and the themes of ghosts, mystery, and the supernatural can be enjoyed year - round.
Ye Xuan, the son-in-law of Emperor Wan Gu, was a fantasy novel created by Lao Gui. I Came From the Primitive World, I Want to Go to the Heavens. This novel described the legend of Ye Xuan's soul traversing through the ages, conquering the heavens, and becoming the Immortal Night Emperor. Ninety thousand years later, Ye Xuan woke up and became the son-in-law of the Royal Immortal Sect. His disciple had reached the peak, the withered mountain he once cultivated had become a holy land for cultivation, and even the little monkey he casually saved had become an invincible Great Sage of the demon race. Ye Xuan's return had started the rise of the son-in-law of a generation, and he had become an invincible legend.

I can't give you a definite answer on Momoko's age. Maybe you could check the original source of the ghost stories or related discussions for that information.
I learned that the ghost stories told by the old people were usually remembered and spread for some reason. These stories might involve various horror elements such as ghosts, zombies, monsters, etc., or human emotions and morals such as betrayal, deception, loneliness, etc.
Some ghost stories also contained some meanings, such as reminding people to cherish life, protect the environment, pay attention to their families, and so on. These stories have different meanings and explanations in different cultural backgrounds, but their essence and core are usually the same.
The ghost stories told by the old people could leave a deep impression on people and inspire them to think. Although these stories may be scary, they can also become a part of people's lives and a part of cultural heritage.
Some Christmas ghost stories originated from local legends and superstitions. For example, in some English villages, there were tales of spirits that would come out during the Christmas season to either haunt the naughty or bring blessings to the good. These stories were passed down through generations and became part of the Christmas storytelling repertoire. Also, the Christian idea of angels and spirits might have influenced the creation of ghost stories during Christmas, as they are both otherworldly beings.
One famous Christmas ghost story is 'A Christmas Carol' by Charles Dickens. It features the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come who visit Ebenezer Scrooge. These ghosts help Scrooge see the error of his miserly ways and transform him into a more kind - hearted person.
