The life of the Otis family part 1

 

When the American, Mr.Otis bought canter ville 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 house 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 canter ville castle, the sky suddenly became dark and 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`m 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-stain 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 has been found, but his ghost still haunts the castle. The blood-stain 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 cleans the spot. But as soon as the blood-stain had disappeared, a terrible flash of lighting lit up the room and a fearful peal of thunder made the whole building shake.
