The Otis family reacted hilariously when they met the Canterville ghost.  

EXPLANATION:

The Canterville Ghost is a humorous satire by Oscar Wilde. In the story Wilde mocks at the high-handed attitude of the Americans through the American family -the Otis. The Otis had come to England. They had put up in an old British Mansion haunted by the Canterville Ghost. The British were so scared of it that none wanted to live in the mansion.  

The Otis however was not at all scared of the ghost. The youngest twins played tricks on it. The family members made fun of it. They even offered it a bottle of oil to lubricate its chains and stop making noises. They applied their American stain remover to clean the blood stain made by the ghost to scare them. Ultimately it was the ghost who got terrified by them and not vice versa.
