There was a horrible storm that night, but apart from that nothing scary happened. The next
morning, however, when the family came down to breakfast, they found the terrible stain of
blood once again on the floor. Washington cleaned it a second time, but the second morning it
appeared again. The third morning it was there, too, although the library had been locked up at
night by Mr Otis himself.The following night, all doubts about the existence of the ghost were
finally removed forever. At eleven o'clock the family went to bed and some time after, Mr Otis
was awakened by a strange noise in the corridor, outside his room. It sounded like the clank of
metal, and it came nearer every moment. Mr Otis got up and looked at the time. It was exactly
one o'clock. So Mr Otis put on his slippers, went to the door and opened it. There, right in front
of him, stood the ghost - his eyes were as red as burning coals; long grey hair fell over his
shoulders and from his wrists and ankles hung heavy chains.My dear Sir, said Mr Otis, you
must oil those chains. It's impossible to sleep with such a noise going on outside the bedrooms. I
have therefore brought you this bottle of lubricator, and I will be happy to supply you with more
if you require it. With these words Mr Otis laid the bottle down, closed his door and went
backto bed.

Shocked, the Canterville ghost stood quite motionless for a moment, but then he growled angrily.
Just at this moment, the twins appeared on the corridor and threw a large pillow at him! The
ghost hastily escaped through the wall, and the house became quiet again.When the ghost
reached his small secret chamber, he took a deep breath. No ghosts in history had ever been
treated in this manner!
