THE CANTERVILLE GHOST AND OTHER STORIES (Hector Boix)






An American family, Otis, buys an enchanted English castle. When the family went through the castle saw a blood stain,  the housekeeper tells them that they can not take it away but they cleaned it and this action angered the ghost.

That night the ghost appears with chains but Mr. Otis gives him oil and the twin sons throw pillows at him, humiliating the ghost.

The second night he decides to appear with a suit of armour but he falls and makes a lot of noise and Mrs. Otis gives her an ointment. And the stain continues to appear day after day.

In the end the daughter, Virginia, enters a room and meets the ghost, and he asks her for help to rest in peace because he has no tears or faith. She decides to help him and the fantasy sends her to a hidden cave. The family looks for her and Virginia appears with a box of jewels and takes them to where the corpse of the ghost is where there is an almond tree that has flowered, and it rests in peace.
