“The Canterville Ghost” begins with the sale of an old British castle called Canterville. But the family didn’t know that the castle was haunted. But Mr. Otis is not worried and he doesn’t care that the castle is haunted. Mr. Otis moves into the castle with the rest of his family. Upon moving in, Mrs. Otis notices a dull red stain on the floor and requests that it should be cleaned. Their housekeeper says that it is a bloodstain from the murder of Lady Eleanore de Canterville, who was killed in 1575 by her husband, Sir Simon de Canterville, and that it cannot be removed. She warns Mrs. Otis. He cleans the bloodstain until it was gone. As soon as the stain is removed, lightning flashes and a peal of thunder rocks the house.
The next morning, the family finds the stain has mysteriously returned. For the next few days, they routinely clean the stain only to see it reappear the next morning. A few nights later, Mr. Otis is awakened in the middle of the night by a noise. The noise is coming from the hallway. Rather than being frightened by Sir Simon’s glowing red eyes Mr. Otis politely insists that the ghost should oil his chains and gives him a bottle of oil for this purpose. Humiliated by the twins, who throw pillows at his head. Virginia decides to follow the Canterville ghost and then Virginia sees the ghost die and then she comes out the wall with a gift in her hand.
