《坎特维尔的幽灵》 / The Canterville Ghost

[[TheCantervilleGhost|《坎特维尔的幽灵》]] is the [[OscarWilde|Wilde]] ghost story discussed in 10.王尔德奇异故事集：用最会撒谎的嘴唇亲吻天使. The episode describes an American minister’s family buying an English haunted house and responding to bloodstains, noises, and apparition theatrics with cleaning products, practical management, and modern confidence.

The source treats the ghost almost as the emotional protagonist: he is proud, theatrical, sensitive, and stranded in an old-world script that the American family refuses to respect. The story therefore connects Black Comic Moral Inversion to tenderness: fear becomes comedy, but the ghost’s loneliness and eventual rescue keep the story from becoming only a joke about superstition.
