The presence of blood stain in the story is of dramatic importance. The blood stain is the first visible sign of ghost’s presence in the story. The blood stain also reveals many secrets about the ghost’s past. Mrs. Umney narrates to them the red stain on the floor in the library was the blood of Lady Eleanore de Canterville, who was murdered on that very spot by her own husband, Sir Simon de Canterville, in 1575. Sir Simon survived her nine years, and disappeared suddenly under very mysterious circumstances. His body had never been discovered, but his guilty spirit still haunted the Chase. The blood-stain had been much admired by tourists and others, and could not be removed.
