The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde

In this novella, a wealthy American family moves into an old English mansion, Canterville Chase, despite warnings that it is haunted by the ghost of Sir Simon, who has been unsuccessfully trying to scare away its inhabitants for centuries. The pragmatic and unflappable Otis family, however, is unimpressed by the ghost's antics and instead treats him as a mere inconvenience, even offering him remedies for his ghostly ailments. Through humorous and satirical interactions, the story explores themes of cultural differences between Americans and the British, ultimately leading to a poignant resolution where the ghost finds redemption and peace with the help of the family's compassionate daughter, Virginia.
