The Canterville Ghost is a short story by Oscar Wilde. It was the first of Wilde's stories to be published, appearing in two parts 23 February and 2 March 1887. The story is about an American family who move to a castle haunted by the ghost of a dead nobleman, who killed his wife and was starved to death by his wife's brothers. The story begins when the American Minister Mr Otis and his family move into Canterville Chase, despite warnings from Lord Canterville that the house is haunted. Mr Otis says that he will take the furniture as well as the ghost at valuation. The Otis family includes Mr and Mrs Otis, their eldest son Washington, their daughter Virginia, and the Otis twins. The other characters include the Canterville Ghost, the Duke of Cheshire Mrs Umney and Rev Augustus Dampier. At first, none of the Otis family believe in ghosts, but shortly after they move in, none of them can deny the presence of Sir Simon de Canterville. The family hears clanking chains, they witness reappearing bloodstains on the floor just by the fireplace, which are removed every time they appear in various forms. But, humorously, none of these scare the Otis family in the least. In fact, upon hearing the clanking noises in the hallway, Mr Otis promptly gets out of bed and pragmatically offers the ghost Tammany Rising Sun Lubricator to oil his chains.

Horace B. Otis, a wealthy American, purchases Canterville Chase, an ancient English manor-house, despite warnings that the house is known to be haunted. He moves into the house accompanied by his wife, his eldest son Washington, his daughter Virginia, and his two younger twin sons. Immediately upon arrival, the family is confronted by a bloodstain in a sitting room. The housekeeper, Mrs. Umney, explains that the stain has been there since 1575 and is the result of Lady Eleanore de Canterville having been brutally murdered by her husband, Sir Simon de Canterville.The Otis family takes a pragmatic perspective and scrubs the stain away; they repeat the process when the stain continues to reappear every morning. The stubborn reappearance of the stain, as well as other strange occurrences around the house, leads them to consider that the rumor of the ghost may not be totally unfounded. These ideas are confirmed when one night, the sound of clanking chains wakes Mr Otis from his sleep. He gets out of bed and confronts a terrifying ghost, but responds only by recommending that the ghost oil his chains so that he does not cause so much noise when he is walking around at night.Mr. Otis is not the only family member who is not afraid of the ghost: the young twins enjoy tormenting the ghost with pranks. The ghost is very proud of his tradition of terrifying visitors for hundreds of years, and he is determined to strike fear into the American family. However, the more and more terrifying he tries to be, the more they either make fun of or ignore him. Things hit rock bottom for the Canterville Ghost when the twins actually create a fake ghost of their own to scare the real ghost. He accepts that he has lost his status and power, and he begins to become depressed and pine away.

The Canterville Ghost was first published in 1887 in The Court and Society Review. The first part was published on February 23, with the second installment following on March 2. It was accompanied by illustrations. By 1887, Wilde had achieved a significant reputation as a poet, playwright, lecturer, and flamboyant public figure. Beginning around 1885, he had also become involved in the world of periodicals and magazines, initially by writing reviews and articles. This transition to a more stable form of income was important because Wilde now had a wife and two young children to support. The Canterville Ghost was the Wilde's first piece of short prose fiction to be published, but it was quickly followed by other tales and stories. By 1888, he had published his first short story collection, The Happy Prince and Other Tales. The Canterville Ghost was not included in this collection, but it did appear in Wilde's 1891 collection, Lord Arthur Savile's Crime and Other Stories. Wilde wrote the story after spending months touring America as a lecturer and honing his observations on American culture. Wilde's story is not just one of his most anthologized works, but also one of his most adaptable. Sir Simon--the titular ghost--has been portrayed on screen by, among others, Charles Laughton, John Gielgud, and Patrick Stewart. Wilde's story has been adapted into at least three different operas in three different languages in addition to a stage musical, a graphic novel, a Bollywood film, and any number of very loose adaptations. The comedy, short length, and accessible writing style have also made it popular with young readers as an introduction to the short-story genre. Wilde was not the first writer to toy with the idea of a comedic ghost; previous examples include the ghost that haunts Ebenezer Scrooge in Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol and Ichabod Crane's nemesis in Sleepy Hollow. And even the Ghost of Christmas Past and the Headless Horseman were capable of inspiring shrieks as much as guffaws--none came anywhere close to inspiring more squeals of laughter than squeals of alarm in readers. So, in a very real sense, The Canterville Ghost serves as an ancestor for all horror-comedy to follow, from Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein to Ghostbusters to Shaun of the Dead.
