"The Canterville Ghost" is a humorous novella by Oscar Wilde that contrasts English mysticism with American practicality. An American family moves into an old mansion haunted by a ghost, but instead of being frightened, they treat it with indifference and clever tricks. The story blends satire, comedy, and elements of the Gothic novel.
