The Canterville Ghost

In Oscar Wilde's famous story, a ghost tries over and over to scare away the new family living in his castle, but ends up being funny and entertaining instead.

In this classic tale by Oscar Wilde, a spirit repeatedly attempts to drive away the new owners of his castle and instead, becomes a source of hilarity and amusement.

An ancient ghost confronts an American businessman who imported a castle and refuses to be intimidated by paranormal activity. Adapted from Oscar Wilde 1887 story.

CBS Radio Mystery Theater is a radio drama series created by Himan Brown that was broadcast on CBS Radio Network affiliates from 1974 to 1982, and later in the early 2000s was repeated by the NPR satellite feed. In New York City it was not aired by the then all-news WCBS but by its originating station, WOR, which produced and announced it as simply Radio Mystery Theater.
