The Canterville Ghost is a short story by Oscar Wilde. A modern American family moves into an English stately home - Canterville Chase.

In this castle the crusty old ghost has a tough time convincing the family he exists and cannot even succeed in frightening them. This is extremely frustrating of course to him and as the protagonist of the story, the ghost takes matters (and non-matters) into his hands to deal with the upstart and irreverent new tenants.

Spöket på Canterville är en kortroman av Oscar Wilde, först publicerad i två delar 1887 i tidskriften The Court and Society Review. Verket ingår även i samlingen Spöket på Canterville och andra berättelser. OSCAR WILDE [född 1854 i Dublin, död 1900 i Paris] var en irländsk prosaist, dramatiker, essäist och poet. Wildes betydelse som symbol för förföljda homosexuella i världen är omätlig. Wilde själv dömdes till fängelse och straffarbete, verken bojkottades, dramatiska uppsättningar lades ner och han smutskastades offentligt. De mest berömda prosaverken är den faustiska romanen Dorian Grays porträtt [The Picture of Dorian Gray, 1890] och den självbiografiska boken om domen och fängelsevistelsen, De Profundis [1905].
