The Dilly-Dally Ghost 

A ghost that'll appear any time at night if you dilly-dally too much. They say that if you dilly-dally too much at any time of the night, the Dilly-Dally Ghost will appear, and punch you in the noggin. Of course, he doesn't always do this. No, sometimes he eats you, or straight up murders you.
Imagine that 3 friends are at a campfire
one of the friends wants to mess around and one of them agrees.
However, the last friend is worried and warns them about the Dilly-Dally Ghost.
The two other friends ignore this and then the Dilly-Dally Ghost appears and punches them in the Noggin.
They're sure lucky to be alive! Although they have permanent brain damage...
