What is the title of Lewis Carroll's 1869 poem about a ghost?

Lewis Carroll's 1869 poem about a ghost is titled Phantasmagoria. The poem is a comic, seven-canto conversation between a narrator and a ghost who arrives to haunt the wrong house.

Rather than presenting a purely frightening spirit, Carroll makes the ghost fussy, argumentative, and surprisingly bureaucratic. The ghost discusses different classes of supernatural beings, including Spectres, Elves, Goblins, Fairies, Banshees, and Trolls. He also explains supposed ghostly customs, expenses, fashions, and professional standards.

The humor comes from treating haunting as an ordinary social occupation. The ghost complains about food, wine, cigars, house design, and the rules imposed by a Haunted House Committee. Eventually, he discovers that he has mistaken Tibbets' house for Tibbs' house, turning the supernatural encounter into a farcical domestic misunderstanding.

Phantasmagoria was also the title of the 1869 collection Phantasmagoria and Other Poems, published by Macmillan in London. That collection contained 26 poems. Readers sometimes confuse the title with Carroll's later poems The Hunting of the Snark or Hiawatha's Photographing, but neither is the 1869 ghost poem.
