The story is about an American family who move to a castle haunted by the ghost of a dead nobleman, who killed his wife and was starved to death by his wife's brothers. It has been adapted for the stage and screen several times.

Explanation:

     The Canterville Ghost story is around a countryside  house in England (long time ago).  That is an interesting and quite a dramatic ghost story about a haunted house.  He describes the house very well in that.  He blended comedy in to the story very well.

    Mr Otis and his family (his wife, daughter Virginia, son Washington)

are Americans from New York. They just shift  to the house named

"canterville Chase", even after being warned of it being haunted.   They

did not believe in ghosts.   They hear a lot of sounds, see blood on

the floor many times etc. They started believing in ghosts, but they

still were not afraid of them.   The name of the ghost was Sir Simon de

Canterville.

    The ghost becomes humiliated and feels terrible,

as he could not make the family frightened.  The family talks of

detergents and stain removers when they see mysterious red marks

(resembling blood) on the floor.  The various desparate attempts of Sir

Simon and the funny responses of the family are narrated with a lot

of humour.   Sir Simon changes forms and assumes many roles  like:

strangled girl, blood-suc ker, skeleton and corpse snatcher, headless

person etc.   Instead of frightening the family, he himself gets beaten

every time.  He falls over tripwires, slips on butter, takes on his head

bucketfuls of water.  He even gets shocked by seeing a ghost  (created

by Otis twins).

 

      Sir Simon comes close and feels good with

young Virginia in her teens.  He tells her the story of his wife.  She

is serious and beliving and not mischievous like other members of the

family.   She listens to him sympathetically.   He requests her to pray

for him and weep for him, as he is unable to do those (because ghosts

cannot weep or pray).   He requests her  to accompany him to the God of

Death to show mercy on him.   She does so.  Then he is relieved of his

ghost state and goes to another world.  She returns to the house later

in the night.   The house is free of the ghost.
