Synopsis

At the end of the 19th century, wealthy American Hiram Otis (David Harewood) takes possession of a country home in England, hoping to install the new invention of ‘electricity’. They soon find out the grounds are haunted by Sir Simon de Canterville (Stephen Fry), but he meets his match with the family’s eldest daughter Virginia (Emily Carey), who doesn’t scare so easily.
