The ghost was frustrated and angry at the Ottis family's refusal to be scared of him.On the contrary, they had insulted his ghostly self by scaring him. This was beyond endurance and he was determined to take revenge.
He set down to plan meticulously by grading the horror of his next deeds according to the deeds of the members of the family. He decided to give each of them separate treatments.
Accordingly, he decided to enter Washington Ottis's room silently and blabber at him meaninglessly from the foot of his bed and then stab himself repeatedly three times with the accompaniment of soft music. This was because it was Washington who erased the famous Canterville blood stain again and again.
He planned to visit the minister Ottis and his wife while they are asleep. He would place a clammy hand on the wife's forehead and whisper into the husband's ears some dreadful things about the charnel-house. He was sure that the couple would be reduced to shivering dummies at this.
He planned his most terrible revenge on the twins who always hurt him physically and mentally. First of all he would sit on their chests giving them nightmarish suffocation. Then he would stand between their beds in the form of a green ghostly mass. When they are sufficiently terrified he would terrorize them more by removing the sheet that covers his bones and crawl around the room as a skeleton with one bulging eye. He called the get up 'Dump Daniel or 'Suicide's skeleton'. He was sure that this would give the twins the worst scares of their lives.
He had nothing against little Virginia and so he decided to be easy on her. He would only shout from the wardrobe and if it fails to awaken her, he would shake her counterpane a little.
