Most Christmas songs are cheerful, full of fun, and all things nice. But have you ever come across a scary Christmas tune? "What is that?!" might be your first reaction too. After hearing it, though, you’ll realize it mixes Halloween and Christmas perfectly.
Pentatonix, also known as PTX, is a famous American acapella group. They are popular for giving pop and Christmas songs a unique acapella twist. PTX loves to remix, recreate, and reinvent old favorites. Since they often work their magic on Christmas music, it was time for a fresh spin.
This year, they leaned into the fact that Christmas decorations appear in stores right after Halloween ends. They decided to reimagine the song “Making Christmas” from the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas.
The video starts with the band in bright outfits, smiling and cheerful. As the music goes on, there’s an eerie change—everything turns darker and more ghostly. Creepy! Their voices, as always, are amazing. Don’t miss this exciting mix of happiness and chills in the video below.

Can you find the creepy part of this picture that’s freaking everyone out?
Lots of parents like to have professional photos of their family. They hire a photographer, take photos together, and smile for the camera.
Christmas is generally a joyful time, with everyone smiling. Yet, one very scary detail in a family photo is making people online feel very uneasy.
Can you spot it? Don’t worry if you can’t; it’s easy to overlook. Here’s a tip: look to the left of the picture.
If you’ve noticed it, well done! What a strange thing.
If not, look again at the young child’s arm. Specifically, who has their hand on it?
People have several ideas about the mysterious hand.
One idea is that the hand belongs to a ghost. Whether you believe in ghosts or not, it does seem to stir thoughts of the paranormal.
The second idea is more realistic. Some people think that the mother’s arm is showing and that the middle, older child was added to the photo with advanced editing software.
Take another look and see what you think.
Either way, this is really odd and disturbing. We wonder if the family knows anything about this. Whose hand is that?
Please share to hear what your friends and family think.
My Stepmom Took the Christmas Gift My Dad Left Me & Told Me I Didn’t Deserve It, Unaware It Was a Test
This Christmas story is not just about lights, gifts, and holiday joy—it’s about love, honesty, and justice. At its core, Anna’s journey shows the struggles of blended families, the hurt of being overlooked, and the hope that kindness and truth will win.
Christmas had always been Anna’s favorite holiday. Her best memories were of baking gingerbread with her dad, decorating the tree with old ornaments, and drinking hot cocoa while watching classic holiday movies. The smell of pine and sparkling lights made everything feel cozy and magical. But this year, it felt different.
Life had changed since her dad married Melanie a few months ago. Melanie wasn’t an evil stepmother, but she made Anna feel small. With a sweet but sharp tone, Melanie often said things that hurt Anna’s confidence. Comments like, “Are you really wearing that? Think again, sweetie,” or “Your dad spoils you too much. That won’t last,” made Anna feel out of place in her home.
Anna stayed quiet for her dad’s happiness. He seemed content, and she didn’t want to ruin that. After her mom passed away ten years ago, it had just been the two of them. Her dad had worked hard to raise her, and Anna often worried he was lonely. If Melanie made him happy, Anna thought she could put up with her.
But as Christmas got closer, Melanie became harder to ignore. She took over the holiday plans, swapping their meaningful decorations for fancy, expensive ones. The house looked perfect, but to Anna, it felt cold and unfamiliar.
One week before Christmas, Anna’s dad handed her a beautiful gold-wrapped box with a red velvet bow. It was so perfect, it almost seemed wrong to open it.
“Anna,” he said, his tone warm but serious, “this is a special gift. But I need a promise from you.”
Anna tilted her head. “What is it?”
“You’ll see on Christmas morning,” he said with a playful sparkle in his eye. “Promise me you won’t open it until then. I’ll call you first thing.”
Anna smiled and nodded. “I promise.”
He kissed her forehead and told her he loved her. For a second, Anna thought he looked sad, but she brushed it off. The next morning, he left on a trip, leaving Anna alone with Melanie.
On Christmas morning, Anna woke early, eager to open her gift. As she crept downstairs, she froze at the sight. Melanie was by the tree, holding the gold box.
“Morning, Anna,” Melanie said without looking up. Her voice was sweet but icy. “Merry Christmas.”
“What are you doing?” Anna’s voice shook. “That’s my gift!”
Melanie smiled smugly. “Relax, Anna. Your dad spoils you enough. Let’s see if this is finally something useful—useful for me.”
“Please, Melanie, don’t open it!” Anna begged.
Ignoring her, Melanie untied the bow, ripped the wrapping, and opened the box. She froze when she saw what was inside.
Anna stepped closer, her heart racing. Inside the box was a small black velvet ring box and an envelope with Melanie’s name on it, written in her dad’s handwriting. Melanie’s hands trembled as she opened the letter and read:
“Melanie, If you’re reading this, it means you’ve done exactly what I feared. I overheard you talking to your sister about taking Anna’s gift. I wanted to believe you wouldn’t, but you’ve proven me right.
You’ve disrespected my daughter too many times, and now you’ve crossed the line. This is goodbye. Merry Christmas.
Greg.”
Melanie’s face turned pale. She dropped the letter and opened the ring box with shaky hands. Inside was her engagement ring—an heirloom from Anna’s grandmother.
At that moment, the front door opened. Anna’s dad walked in, carrying his bag. Melanie spun around, shocked.
“Greg? You said you were on a trip!” she stammered.
“I wasn’t,” he replied calmly. “I stayed close to see this for myself.”
Anna stood still, watching her dad confront Melanie. His voice was firm but calm as he listed the ways she had mistreated Anna and broken his trust. “I gave you a chance, Melanie,” he said. “But you failed.”
Melanie tried to argue, but it didn’t matter. Her true nature was exposed. “Pack your things,” her dad said. “You’re leaving today.”
That afternoon, Melanie left, dragging her suitcase behind her. The house felt lighter, as though a weight had lifted. For the first time in months, Anna felt at peace.
Her dad spent the day with her, making up for lost time. They made pancakes with crispy bacon, drank hot cocoa, and laughed over old holiday memories. Later, he handed Anna another gold-wrapped box.
Inside was the ring box and a letter for her:
“Anna, You are the most important part of my life. I hope this Christmas is the start of something better for both of us. I love you more than anything.
Dad.”
Tears filled Anna’s eyes as she hugged him tightly. For the first time in what felt like forever, Christmas felt magical again—and even stronger than before.
WATCH: Is This Creepy Video From Gettysburg Proof That There Are Ghosts Among Us?(VIDEO)
The deadliest battle of the American Civil War happened in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Thousands of American soldiers lost their lives. To this day, many believe the site is cursed. It is also where President Abraham Lincoln delivered his famous Gettysburg Address. We will share the full speech later in this article.
Over 150 years ago, during the Battle of Gettysburg, countless soldiers died in the trenches. Ever since, many people say the site is haunted. In this battle, Confederate General Robert E. Lee led his final attack against the North. However, Union soldiers stopped him and pushed his forces back.
Greg Yuelling, a man from New Jersey, claims he captured evidence of ghosts on video. On the night of September 2, 2022, he drove through the historic battleground. This area, now a national park, is where he recorded the footage. Greg believes the video proves spirits still haunt the site.
Here is the Gettysburg Address, a speech President Abraham Lincoln gave on November 19, 1863:
“Four score and seven years ago, our fathers created a new nation on this continent. This nation was built on liberty and dedicated to the belief that all people are created equal.”
“We are now in the middle of a great civil war. This war is testing whether any nation, built on such principles, can survive. Today, we gather on a battlefield where this war was fought. We have come to set aside part of this field as a memorial. It will honor the soldiers who gave their lives here so that the country could live. This is the right thing to do.”
“But we cannot dedicate, bless, or make this ground sacred. It is already holy because of the brave soldiers who fought here, both living and dead. Their sacrifice has made it sacred, and we cannot add to or take away from that. What we say here today will not be remembered for long. But what they did here will never be forgotten. Instead, it is up to us, the living, to carry on their unfinished work. We must dedicate ourselves to the task ahead. We must commit to the cause for which these soldiers gave their final full measure of devotion. We must promise that their deaths were not in vain. We must ensure that this nation, under God, has a new birth of freedom. And we must ensure that a government of the people, by the people, for the people will not disappear.”
Thanks to new technology, more videos like Greg Yuelling’s are being captured. These recordings show strange sights at Gettysburg. Many people believe they are proof of ghosts.
