millionaire, purchased Canterville Chase, an old English country house. Mr Otis was warned by the previous owner, Lord Canterville, that the house was haunted by the ghost of Sir Simon de Canterville, who had murdered his wife and disappeared. However, Mr Otis did not believe in ghosts and moved his family into the house. On the first night, they were greeted by the ghost of Sir Simon, who tried to scare them with his chains and bloodstains. However, the Otis family was not afraid and even offered Sir Simon some lubricant to oil his chains. The ghost was shocked and offended by their lack of respect and decided to intensify his haunting.
