THE TRANSFERRED GHOST by FRANK STOCKTON
Amild mannered man falls in love with a young lady named Madeleine but doesn't have the courage to tell her, mainly because her father is a mean old guy who wants to keep her by his side as he grows older. The father goes away on a business trip and a strange chain of events takes place when the father's ghost shows up complaining that he was given the ghostship mistakenly while the old man was still alive and needs help getting out of his predicament. nA funny story from Frank Stockton that English teachers have tried to spin as an allegory to the rise in capitalism- but that's pure you-know-what. Stockton just wrote it as a funny short story with a great twist.
