Bierce may have chosen to call the story "an occurrence" to emphasize the unexpected and significant nature of the event. By using a neutral term like "occurrence," he creates a sense of detachment and mystery around the disturbing and violent act of a hanging. This title choice adds to the eerie and unsettling atmosphere of the story.
