This is a very very funny short story about an American family who move into a spoooky haunted English manor, but because they are Americans they do not believe in ghosts and they end up tormenting the ghost! Oh no! It’s very funny, much funnier than I expected. Real modern sketch comedy kind of energy. Ended in a surprisingly sweet and sentimental place. Will have to read more of Oscar Wilde’s short stories though tbh I do struggle with the form.
