Three years ago in a large Victorian house on the Jersey Shore in the town of Harbor Haven, fledgling private investigator Paul and his client, Maxie Malone, were murdered. Since then, recent divorcée and reluctant ghost whisperer Alison Kerby and her 10-year-old daughter, Melissa, have moved in and converted the place to a guesthouse, where Maxie and Paul are now checked in for an eternity and ready to solve any case that comes their way - or at least spook the guests (who love it). Alison’s got a lot on her plate at the moment, however, so when Paul discovers the 300-year-old ghost of a small boy in the house, he decides not to involve her in the case.

That is, until she met powerful Australian businessman Harry Griffith. Suddenly, Amy was doing all kinds of wild things - enjoying romantic dinners, taking spontaneous luxury vacations, falling in love. And yet, a part of her was still devoted to her husband, still wanted to touch him, hold him, talk to him. But Harry demanded nothing less than all of Amy.

Celebre racconto umoristico giovanile di Oscar Wilde, pubblicato nel 1887. Il racconto ebbe grande successo come parodia delle storie di fantasmi: in realtà, dietro al noncurante umorismo dello scrittore, la storia è pervasa di dolcezza e di poesia.

Los Otis, una sofisticada familia estadounidense, adquiere el añejo castillo inglés de los Canterville. El dueño de castillo les advierte que en el mismo habita el colérico fantasma de sir Simon de Canterville desde hace trescientos años, luego de haber asesinado a su esposa. Lejos de amedrentarse, el Sr. Otis desoye sus advertencias y se muda al castillo junto a su familia, su esposa Lucrecia, y sus hijos, Washington, Virginia, y los traviesos gemelos.

Ein amerikanischer Gesandter bezieht mit seiner Familie ein altes Schloss in England, in dessen Gemäuern ein Gespenst sein Unwesen treiben soll. Die Familie ist sich einig: Gespenster gibt es nicht! Und doch kommt es schon bald zu rätselhaften und aufregenden Begegnungen zwischen dem altehrwürdigen Gespenst und den neuen Bewohnern des Schlosses.

The American Otis family moves into the old English country house Canterville Chase. They are warned that the house is haunted before they move in but are unconcerned at first. They soon accept that the ghost is real but are not frightened by it. The ghost, who had been frightening all those who stayed at Canterville Chase for 300 years, takes the Americans' unwillingness to be scared by him as a great insult. He grows to despise them all, except for the teenage daughter, Virginia, who he feels is different from the rest of her family.

Als der amerikanische Gesandte Hiram B. Otis entgegen der Warnungen von Lord Canterville mit seiner Familie im Schloß Canterville einzieht, brechen für das dort wohnende Gespenst neue Zeiten an. Dessen Grusel-, Horror- und Spuk-Künste geraten trotz jahrhunderelangem Training bei dieser entzückenden Familie an ihre Grenzen. "Das Gespenst von Canterville" ist der Grusel-Komödien-Klassiker von Oscar Wilde.

Los Otis, una acomodada familia estadounidense, compra el añejo castillo inglés de los Canterville. Todos, hasta el mismo dueño, les avisan que la vivienda está habitada por un horrible fantasma, pero los Otis no creen en esas cosas. Lejos de amedrentarse, compran el castillo con fantasma incluído y acaban atormentando al pobre espectro anacrónico, que termina siendo juguete y víctima de los dos niños terribles de la familia.

The story is about a family who moves 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 home of the Canterville Ghost was the ancient Canterville Chase, which has all the accoutrements of a traditional haunted house. Descriptions of the wainscoting, the library panelled in black oak, and the armour in the hallway characterise the setting. Wilde mixes the macabre with comedy, juxtaposing devices from traditional English ghost stories such as creaking floorboards, clanking chains, and ancient prophecies.
