Canterville Chase
Canterville Chase is a fictional estate featured in the short story "The Canterville Ghost" by Oscar Wilde. The story revolves around an American family, the Otises, who move into the estate, which is known for its haunting by the ghost of Sir Simon, a former resident. The family's humorous and pragmatic approach to the ghostly encounters contrasts with the traditional expectations of a haunted house.
The estate is set in the English countryside and is characterized by its grand architecture and rich history. Despite its eerie reputation, the Otis family treats the ghost with indifference, leading to comedic situations. Ultimately, the story explores themes of cultural differences and the nature of fear.
