Question

Describe the supernatural elements used in the canterville ghost

Answer 1

Today, our most popular supernatural horror stories appear in the form of movies like The Exorcist, The Shining, The Blair Witch Project, or the Insidiousand Conjuring series. During the English Romantic period(approximately 1785-1830), longer horror narratives came in the form of the Gothic novel. In the late 1700s, these novels featured eerie atmospheric elements such as ancient castles, hidden passages, unreliable light sources, and mysterious sounds. Just as many box office horror hits do today, Gothic novels also included ghosts, demons, and vampires. Although Emily Brontë's novel Wuthering Heights was not published until 1847, it contains many gothic elements and is generally read as more of a Romantic novel than a Victorian one (the Victorian period was approximately 1830-1901).
