1896 Georges Méliès Le Château Hantée (The Haunted Castle)
Le Château Hantée, 1897, 0m44s
Star Film Catalogue No. 96
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1213033/
A man defies warnings from his friend and prepares to spend the light in a haunted castle. He sits nonchalantly down in a chair - which vanishes and reappears on the other side of the room, causing him to fall to the ground. He gets up, looks around indignantly, walks over to the chair, reaches out to move it back, but is alarmed by the sudden appearance of a mysterious apparition clad in white robes and cowl and holding a box. Drawing a sword, the man runs him through, only to find the apparition turning into a skeleton. He shakes the skeleton and it turns into a burly guard clad in armour. He vanishes, and another man appears behind the central character, pointing out the reappearance of the white-cowled apparition.

This film is exactly the same one you call "The Haunted Castle" and put under year 1896.
So is this film from 1896 or 1897? And the film you describe above, does it exist, and what year is it from?

This is actually Le Manoir du Diable (1896) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0000091/), not Le Château hanté. The two are often confused because both were given the title The Haunted Castle in the U.S.
