The Canterville Ghost

The story revolves around an American family that moves into the British mansion, Canterville Chase, much to the chagrin of its resident ghost. The family's disbelief in the ghost's existence leads to humorous and insightful encounters, serving as Oscar Wilde's commentary on cultural differences and the clash between American optimism and British tradition. As the ghost tries to haunt them, the family's unconventional responses challenge the norms of haunting and highlight the absurdities of both American and British society.
