The Canterville Ghost (1996)

Plunged into the ancient, creak-ridden world of Canterville Hall, young Ginny Otis finds herself far from pleased with her family's move to England. The old stone walls echo with mystery, the hearth is haunted by a persistently reappearing bloodstain, and the chilling presence of a ghost adds an eerie layer to her new home. Initially, Ginny yearns for her old life, urging her father to send her back to familiar shores, a plea that gains urgency upon her spectral encounters. However, her life takes an unexpected turn when she crosses paths with the elusive, cursed seventeenth-century ghost, Sir Simon de Canterville. This spectral encounter, coupled with the charming presence of the neighbouring Duke of Cheshire, casts a new light on Canterville Hall. Instead of fleeing, Ginny finds herself drawn into the age-old curse that binds Sir Simon. Armed with newfound resolve and unexpected friendships, Ginny sets on a journey to unravel the mystery of the ancient curse. Her previous longing to return home is replaced by a determination to free Sir Simon from his spectral chains. Amidst the echoing corridors and hidden secrets of Canterville Hall, Ginny learns that sometimes, the most extraordinary stories can be found in the unlikeliest of places.
