A Haunted House by Woolf

The title of this story seems very deceiving. People may look at it and think of a horror story about ghosts but in reality it's a very light hearted story. It starts off in the view of two ghosts who are observing a living couple as they try to figure out what is making the noise in the house. It goes on and the couple gets closer and closer to this so called treasure in the house. At the end of the story we find out the treasure was the happy memories the old ghost couple had when they owned the house. I found it very interesting that this "ghost story" was through the viewpoint of the ghosts instead of the people. It made it different and a unique reading experience. I would enjoy these kind of stories where it twists the normal standard into a differnt point of view.
