Dark Matter by Michelle Paver. Creeping horror in the far North set in the 1930s. Jack, a working class lad, gets the opportunity to join an Arctic expedition to the North East Coast of Svalbard. After a medical emergency he is left alone at the camp, and everything begins to deteriorate - the weather, the equipment, Jack's mental health, as the winter sun disappears completely and he begins to have visions of what may or may not be the vengeful ghost of a man who was killed there.
Spooky advent day 7: The spidery, dusty, nasty old vicary horror that is the Tractate Middoth by M R James, and more specifically Mark Gatiss' 2013 adaptation for the revived BBC Ghost Stories for Christmas strand.
The Old Nurse's Story by Elizabeth Gaskell (1852). This particularly chilly ghost story from the novelist and biographer probably most famous for documenting the life of her contemporary Charlotte Bronte is a tale of how the vengeful actions of a jealous sibling are supernaturally revisited upon a child of the family many years later.

There's a summary and analysis of the story here, with a link to the original story
