The Canterville Ghost

"The Canterville Ghost" takes place in an old English manor known as Canterville Chase, which is rumored to be haunted by the ghost of Sir Simon de Canterville.

When the Otis family, an American family, moves into the manor, they are initially unfazed by the ghostly presence. Mr. Hiram Otis, a pragmatic businessman, refuses to believe in the supernatural and dismisses the ghost's attempts to scare them. Mrs. Lucretia Otis, a strong-willed woman, takes a practical approach and tries to understand the ghost's motivations. Meanwhile, their young daughter, Virginia, is intrigued by the ghost and shows compassion towards him.

"The Canterville Ghost" is a heartwarming tale that humorously showcase the clash between the skepticism of the modern world and the supernatural beliefs of the past. It ultimately teaches us valuable lessons about empathy and the importance of embracing our differences.
