The Canterville Ghost
by Oscar Wilde
CHAPTER I
When the American, Mr Otis, bought Canterville Castle, everyone told him that this was
very foolish, as the place was haunted. But Mr Otis answered, 'I come from a modern
country, where we have everything that money can buy. And if there were such a thing as
a ghost in Europe, we would have it at home in one of our museums.'
A few weeks later, on a lovely July evening, Mr Otis, his wife and their children,
Washington, Virginia and the twins, went down to their new home. When they entered the
avenue of Canterville Castle, the sky suddenly became dark and a spooky stillness was in
the air.
Mrs Umney, the housekeeper, led them into the library of the castle, where they sat down
and began to look around. Suddenly, Mrs Otis saw a red stain on the floor just by the
fireplace and said to Mrs Umney, 'I am afraid something has been spilt there.'
'Yes, madam,' said the old housekeeper in a low voice, 'blood has been spilt on that spot.'
'How terrible,' said Mrs Otis; 'I don't want any blood-stains in my sitting-room. It must be
removed at once.'
The old woman smiled and answered, 'It is the blood of Lady Eleanore de Canterville, who
was murdered on that spot by her husband, Sir Simon de Canterville, in 1575.
Sir Simon disappeared seven years later. His body has never been found, but his ghost
still haunts the Castle. The bloodstain is a tourist attraction now and it cannot be
removed.'
'That is all nonsense,' said Washington, the eldest son of the Otis family, 'stain remover
will clean it up in no time,' and he took a bottle of stain remover out of his pocket and
cleaned the spot. But as soon as the blood-stain had disappeared, a terrible flash of
lightning lit up the room and a fearful peal of thunder made the whole building shake.
