Maybe this will help....


Scrooge wakes in the night and the bells of the neighboring church strike twelve. The first spirit appears and introduces himself as the Ghost of Christmas Past. This spirit leads Scrooge on a journey into some of the happiest and saddest moments of Scrooge's past, events that would largely shape the current Scrooge. These include the mistreatment of Scrooge by his uncaring father (who did not allow his son to return home from boarding school, not even at Christmas), the loss of a great love sacrificed for his devotion to business, and the death of his sister, the only other person who ever showed love and compassion for him. Unable to stand these painful memories and his growing regret of them, Scrooge covers the spirit with the large candle snuffer it carries and he is returned to his room, where he falls asleep.

Scrooge wakes at the stroke of one. After more than fifteen minutes, he rises and finds the second spirit, the Ghost of Christmas Present, in an adjoining room. The spirit shows him the meagre Christmas celebrations of the Cratchit family, the sweet nature of their lame son, Tiny Tim, and a possible early death for the child; this prospect is the immediate catalyst for his change of heart. They also show the faith of Scrooge's nephew in his uncle's potential for change, a concept that slowly warms Scrooge to the idea that he can reinvent himself. To further drive the point, the Ghost reveals two pitiful children who huddle under his robes which personify the major causes of suffering in the world, "Ignorance" and "Want", with a grim warning that the former is especially harmful. At the end of the visitation, the bell strikes twelve. The Ghost of Christmas Present vanishes and the third spirit appears to Scrooge.

The Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come takes the form of a grim spectre, completely robed in black, who does not speak and whose body is entirely hidden except for one pointing hand. This spirit frightens Scrooge more than the others, and harrows him with visions of the Cratchit family bereft of Tiny Tim, of Scrooge's own lonely death and final torment, and the cold, avaricious reactions of the people around him after his passing. Without explicitly being said, Scrooge learns that he can avoid the future he has been shown, and alter the fate of Tiny Tim—but only if he changes.

What their appearances are depends on who is telling. If it is Dickens the Past is a white robed non gender figure. Takes him to a scene from his youth. Future is a figure completely covered by black robes except a skinny finger and does not speak. It takes to see his death and cheap funeral. Present is a very large man with a red beard and green robe lined with fur. It takes him to marley's house and his nephews.
All of these are to teach him the errors of his ways and to repent

Other descriptions are movie makers ideas of what they look like

Present shows Scrooge the happiness of his nephew and his friends along with that of the Cratchit family.

Future takes Scrooge to the Cratchit house where they are grieving over Tiny Tim's death; he takes Scrooge to the cemetery where he can see his grave; then he takes them around and has him watch people react to his death-they don't care.
