When Scrooge sees him disappear through the window, the night sky is filled with ghosts of former colleagues of Scrooge, all similarly doomed to wander around with chains and weights. One of them tries to help a poor woman crying over her child, but since he's doomed, he can no longer do anything for her.

Later he goes to his room but still can't forget the image he saw earlier. Then the bell in his room starts ringing on its own and Scrooge hears chains rattling from beneath the cellar and slowly coming towards him. Then Marley's ghost flies through the door.

* The Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come is a towering, wraith-like figure in a dark hood whose face is never seen, and who never utters a word, simply pointing and letting Scrooge's BadFuture speak for itself.

** This part especially is something that few people know these days, the cloth tied around Marley's head and his jaw opening creepily wide is because the ligaments in the jaw are among the first part of the human body to decay after death, resulting in the unsettling "screaming corpse" effect. To prevent this, before embalming was developed, people were buried with their jaws held closed with cloth ties. So yeah, Marley isnt just a ghost, he's a rotting corpse of a ghost too.
