The classic story of love, death, redemption, and forgiveness. When the Otis Family moves to England, they buy the legendarily haunted Canterville Family estate. The ghost, Sir Simon Cantervile, instead of being an object of fear, becomes an object of scorn as the Otis Family refuses to take him seriously. Sir Simon is miserable until he meets Virginia, the Otis's only daughter. She shows Sir Simon kindness and leads him to peace.
