Convincing himself it was just a hallucination, he goes into his house. Scrooge is then seen in his nightcap pajamas, eating some gruel a thin oatmeal porridge in a bowl by his fireplace in his master bedroom. Just as hes about to go to bed, he hears some loud noises, getting louder by the moment. The chimes to his doorbell start ringing, louder louder until Scrooge has to cover his ears at the sound of them. He then hears something walking up the stairs to his room, with very loud thuds then as they reach the shut door to his room, silence. Then suddenly half a dozen huge ghostly lit cement blocks wrapped heavily in chains burst through the room at Scrooge. As they all land around Ebenezer, we then see they are attached to the ghost of Jacob Marley, as he floats into the room. Marley explains that hes being punished for all his past indiscretions and bad deeds in life. Scrooge wonders why since he was such a good man of business like himself. Marley explains that while he was a good businessman, he was a horrible human being and that the more chains on a ghost mean more punishment. He then warns Scrooge that if he keeps on his current path, Ebenezers chains will be even worse than Marleys. Jacob tells Scrooge that hell be visited by three spirits, all throughout the night. Scrooge humorously asks him if all three can visit him at the same time. Jacob says the first ghost will visit him soon as he rises up to leave. As Marley leaves through the window, Scrooge sees many other spirits floating outside doomed to an eternity of chains cement blocks. One other ghost outside sees Scrooge looking at him flies up towards him, but slams into the window as the screen goes black. The next scene is pitch black until a small flickering light appears and gets brighter and brighter. It wakes up Scrooge and forms into a ghost but looking very much like a lit candle wick. It announces itself as the Ghost of Christmas Past and tells Ebenezer that it will take him to his memories of the past. It touches Scrooge with some pixie dust ala Peter Pan, to give him the ability to fly with it and they take off through the town. Just like at the beginning of the movie, we see the flying POV whizzing around town until we arrive at another part of the country where Scrooge remembers being raised bred. The ghost takes him to a schoolhouse where we see a lone Ebenezer sadly staring out a window. It seems his father, who was equally cold as Scrooge is now, left him there for his education but never came to get him each year. The schoolhouse morphs into an older, more dilapidated version years later where Scrooge is still all alone by himself, as he has been year after year until one day his sister arrives joyously tells him that their father overnight had a change of heart and, filled with Christmas Spirit, has sent a wagon to bring Scrooge back to his family for the holidays. The spirit tells Scrooge that she later bore a son, who turned out to be Scrooges nephew Fred. We next see Scrooge as a young apprentice to a Mr. Fezziwig on Christmas Eve. When his work shift is over, Fezziwig joyously flips off his desk and starts dancing around, ordering his workplace be turned into a banquet hall for Christmas. The tables chairs get pushed back to create tons of room for dancing and sure enough, the scene morphs into a festive Christmas celebration with food, dancing and singing. Fezziwig his wife dance, followed by each young boy girl. When its Scrooges turn, he meets a young lady named Belle is instantly smitten.
