Question

Who was Mr.Otis ? Why did everyone call him doing a foolish thing when he bought canterville chase?

Answer 1

Mr. Otis was an American Minister of U.K.
Everyone call him doing a foolish thing because all believe that a ghost of Lady Eleanor's husband used to live in the canterville chase

Answer 2

hey there,

The full name of Mr. Otis was Hiram B Otis. He was an American Minister. Mr. Otis was a very bold and fearless person. He did not believe in the existence of ghost. He was totally materialistic, rational and ruthless in his attitude. He believed that money can buy anything , even a ghost . He bought the canterville chase, though he was told that it was a haunted house.
everyone tryed to dissuade Mr. Hiram b otis from buying canterville chase by honestly telling him it was haunted , he told him all the scary incidents that had been happened at the chase from the last three hundred years .
