Mr Hiram B Otis, the American ambassador, purchased Canterville Chase despite warnings that it was haunted. One night, he was woken up by a noise outside his room at exactly one o'clock. Upon investigating, he encountered a terrifying old man with red eyes, long grey hair, and rusty chains on his wrists and ankles. Mr Otis remained calm, offering the ghost a small bottle of lubricant for his chains before returning to bed. This encounter with the Canterville Ghost was just the beginning of the Otis family's interactions with the supernatural entity haunting their new home.

"The Canterville Ghost" is a story about an American ambassador, Mr. Hiram B. Otis, who purchases a haunted estate called Canterville Chase, despite being warned against it due to its ghostly reputation. One night, not long after moving in, Mr. Otis is awakened by a strange noise resembling the clanking of metal. Curious and unafraid, he discovers that the noise is coming from an old ghost, who appears quite formidable with his red eyes, long grey hair, and ancient, dirty clothes adorned with rusty chains and handcuffs.

Instead of reacting with fear, Mr. Otis calmly addresses the ghost, offering him a practical solution to his noisy predicament. He hands the ghost a bottle of lubricant to oil the chains, suggesting it would prevent them from making such a racket. Mr. Otis then places the lubricant on a marble table, and without further ado, returns to bed, casually shutting his door behind him. This interaction highlights the cultural clash between the pragmatic, modern American, represented by Mr. Otis, and the traditional, supernatural British element, embodied by the ghost. The passage underscores Mr. Otis's practicality and unflappable nature in the face of what many might consider a terrifying encounter.
