The main themes in 'The Canterville Ghost and Others Stories' include the contrast between the supernatural and the rational. The presence of the ghost is a supernatural element that constantly bumps up against the rational thinking of the American family. There's also the theme of acceptance. As the story progresses, both the family and the ghost start to accept each other in a way. The family accepts the existence of the ghost, and the ghost accepts the family's rather unorthodox ways of dealing with him.

Well, there's the theme of cultural differences for sure. The American family's attitude towards the ghost is very different from what the English might expect. Also, there's the theme of fear and how different people deal with it. Some in the family are scared at first but then become more curious, while others seem less affected. And there's a bit of a theme about family bonds too. They all face the ghost situation together and it sort of cements their relationships.
