The Canterville Ghost

"The Canterville Ghost" by Oscar Wilde tells the humorous story of an American family that moves into a haunted English castle, unbothered by the ghost’s spooky threats and supernatural occurrences. Rather than being frightened, they respond with practicality and wit, which frustrates the ghost and leads to amusing interactions. The tale blends humor, ghostly mischief, and a touch of the supernatural, all set against Wilde’s sharp commentary on cultural contrasts.
