14)Who was Mr. Hiram.B. Otis why did everyone say that it was f_oolishof him to buy Canterville chase

Answer 1

When Mr. Hiram B. Otis, the American minister, bought Canterville Chase, every one told him he was doing a very foolish thing, as there was no doubt at all that the place was haunted. Indeed Lord Canterville himself, who was a man of the most punctilious honour, had felt it his duty to mention the fact to Mr. Otis, when they came to discuss terms.
