The Canterville Ghost - Margaret O'Brien - Oscar Wilde - Lux Radio Theater

"The Canterville Ghost" is a humorous short story by Oscar Wilde. It was the first of Wilde's stories to be published

The story is about an American family who move to a castle haunted by the ghost of a dead English nobleman, who killed his wife and was then walled in and starved to death by his wife's brothers. It has been adapted for the stage and screen several times.

The Canterville Ghost is a 1944 fantasy/comedy film directed by Jules Dassin, loosely based on the 1887 short story of the same title by Oscar Wilde. It starred Charles Laughton as a ghost doomed to haunt an English castle and Robert Young as his American relative called upon to perform an act of bravery to redeem him.
