THE CANTERVILLE GHOST AND OTHER STORIES by AITANA ARCIS

The Otis family moved to Canterville (England) to a house which they said there were ghosts and everybody was scared about it.
When they entered the house, they went to have a look to all the rooms. In the library they found a blood stain, so they decided to tell the maid to clean it. But, the next day it appeared again, and so on. It was strange but they weren’t scared, because they knew there was a ghost.
So, the ghost decided to scare them by making noises with his chains at night, but it didn’t scare them. The ghost was sad because he couldn’t scare that family, it was like his work. The members of the family made terrible tricks with him, the ghost was fed up.

The ghost told Virginia, the little daughter, that he wanted to rest in peace, as they didn’t let him do his work (scare). Finally, Virginia, decided to help him with his plan, rest in peace. So, she convinced to her family, and all together, the Otis family and the Lord Canterville family, made a funeral for the Canterville ghost to rest in peace. Since this day there weren’t any more ghosts in this old house at Canterville.
