INTRODUCTION "The Canterville Ghost" is a parody featuring a dramatic spirit named Sir Simon and an American ambassador named Mr. Hiram B. Otis. Mr. Otis travels to England with his family and moves into a haunted castle. Lord Canterville, the previous owner of the castle, warns Mr. Otis that the ghost of Sir Simon de Canterville has haunted the castle ever since he killed his wife, Eleonore, centuries ago. But Mr. Otis dismisses the ghost story as bunk and disregards Lord Canterville's warnings. FILM, TV OR THEATRICAL ADAPTATIONS The original was an early work of Wilde, published serially in the magazine ''Court and Society Review'' in 1887. A large number of adaptations of The Canterville Ghost have been made, including:
