Mr.Otis ::
This is very strange. I locked the library door at night. No one can come inside. No one can make a stain on this floor.
Washington Otis ::
I don't think
Pinkerton's
It's a bad thing. I think it must have been someone who actually created this blood stain. A ghost came and made a blood stain on the floor at night.
Mr.Otis ::
We must find this ghost. We must stop it from making this blood stain again. Their mother doesn't like blood stains on the floor.
And today they left the house. They walked to a nearby village. And they walked back.

I felt very surprised. He has been here for 300 years. And everyone is afraid of him. Because everyone is afraid of ghosts. But this American gentleman is not afraid of ghosts.
Canterville
Decided to work harder. He wanted to make the Americans afraid of him. So he made scary noises and made the lights in the corridor turn green. The door at the end of the corridor opened. Twin sons came out. their room. And they threw the pillow in their hand at the ghost. And they laughed at the ghost.
The ghost was surprised and depressed. No one had ever laughed at him before. He was a ghost. Everyone was afraid of him because he was a ghost. No one had ever laughed at a ghost.
Canterville
Come first. Ghost.
Canterville
Not knowing what to do, he disappeared into the wall of the house and the house became quiet again. He went back into his secret room and sat down and thought about what had happened before.
Over the past 300 years, he has tricked many people. He tricked the servants at the window. He knocked on the bedroom door. He tricked people who were sleeping in bed. He made the candles go out at night. He made the hallway lights Turned green and dragged the chain back and forth making noises. Everyone was afraid of him. No one ever put lubricant on his chain.
No one had ever thrown a pillow at him. He felt like he was a very unhappy ghost.

Pinkerton's.
But it had a problem. Because he (ghost) painted it red too quickly now the finished color has turned brown and purple. That's the reason why sometimes the blood stains are green, sometimes blue. Plan to trick
The twins Otis.
He planned to go to the bedroom at night. He planned to turn himself green and make scary noises. And to touch them (the twins) with his cold hands in the dark. He left. From his room in the middle of the night, he climbed the stairs and walked down the long corridor.

ghost
Canterville::
I haven't slept in 300 years, I haven't slept since my wife's brother killed me.

Walk towards the ghost. And saw on his face that he now had a sad face*
Virginia ::
Ghost with a bad temper, what can I help you with? So that you can sleep??
ghost
Canterville::
Far away in the forest, there was a small garden. In the garden there was long and thick grass. There were many trees and flowers. The nightingale sang all night long. The song that the nightingale sang was It's so funny. Beautiful and sad. The stars and moon looked down on this garden. It was a very peaceful place.
Virginia ::
You mean it's a garden of death? *Her eyes were filled with tears that welled up. She covered her face with her hands*
ghost

I don't know how to respond. So I sat and listened to him speak*
ghost

Have you read the message on the window yet?
Virginia ::
I read it, but I don't understand its meaning.
ghost
Canterville::
Look, read this line *
Virginia
Watch and read poetry*

For the ghost that cannot sleep,
Then the dead at the last shall die
And in restful earth may lie.

Canterville::
This message means You must shed tears for me, then the angel of death will take me to rest. Will you help me???
Virginia ::
What must I do??
ghost
Canterville::
You will go with me into the dark. You will see strange things. You will hear strange sounds, but nothing will hurt you. You are good and kind. The darkness cannot do anything to you.
*Virginia
There was no answer and he was still waiting for an answer. He had been waiting for 300 years. This was a minute longer than the past 300 years*
Virginia ::
I'm not afraid, I'll go into the dark with you.
*He kissed the girl's palm. His white mouth was as cold as ice, but it was hot and burned with fire. He held her hand and they walked into the wall of the library. The wall opened. Behind the wall Far away it was dark and a cold wind was blowing. The sound of the wind said to
Virginia
said 'Go back,
Virginia.
Go back before it's too late.'
Virginia
Walk into the darkness with him.
Virginia
with him disappearing into the walls of the library*
Virginia
Didn't come down to eat dinner.
Mr.Otis
So he sent the servant up to her room. But the servant found
Virginia
She couldn't be found, so everyone in the house went looking all over the house. They looked everywhere but no one could find her.
Mr.
and
Mrs.
They were very worried. It was a hot summer evening and the sun had not yet set, so they went out to find the garden before it got dark. The garden was full of trees and deep ponds. They searched both in the trees and and in the pond. I asked people at the train station. But no one saw me.
Virginia.Mr.Otis
So I went to inform the village police that
Virginia
disappeared. But, at this time it was already dark and no one was looking for her at this time. No one wanted to sleep or eat. They sat in the library and waited. They hoped that she would come back safely. They planned to search again in the morning. It was the middle of the night when they decided to go back to sleep. They left the library and walked upstairs together.
Suddenly, the clocks in the whole house pointed at the number 12 and a terrifying scream sounded out. Thunder sounded outside the house and they heard terrifying cries. Strange music was played throughout the house. The door on the upper floor opened.
Virginia
Standing in front of the door she looked down at them below. Her face was pale and she held a small box in her hand.
Mr.Otis ::
Where did your child go?? *asked angrily* Do you know that Mother is very worried about you? You made us very afraid. You must not do this again.
The Twins ::
Except with ghosts!! She can use tricks on ghosts!!
Virginia ::
Dad, I went with a ghost. He died and now he can rest. He gave me this box before he died. This box is filled with beautiful jewelry. *Open the box.
Mr.Otis
Look, inside is a necklace made of red stone*
Mr.Otis ::
Where did you get it from? Where did you go??
*Mr.Otis
He completely forgot his anger when he saw that his daughter had returned safely.*
Virginia ::
Come with me, I'll take you to see.
*She walked back into the door at the top. Everyone followed her.
Washington
He is a candle holder. She led them down a secret passage. They came to an old wooden door and opened it. Beyond it was a small room with a low ceiling. There was an iron ring stuck to the wall and two chains. .At the end of the chain was a person's body that was left with only bones. It was a human skeleton.*
Virginia ::
This is the body of
Sir Simon de Canterville .
He killed his wife in 1575. And his wife's brother locked him in this room. He did not give him food.

Virginia
Holding a white flower in her hand, she looked up at the stars and the moon. She still remembered his (ghost's) words about the garden of death. Nightingale began to sing. It was a beautiful, beautiful song. Sad.
Virginia
Smiling, "God has forgiven him for killing his wife..."
