I must be honest with you, Mr. Otis, said Lord counterville.0:45
There is something very strange about this house.0:50
My family and I don't stay here very often.0:54
But what is so strange about the place?0:58
There is a ghost here, said lord canterville.1:02
It visits anyone who lives or stays here.1:06
My poor old aunt, the dowager duchess of bolton, once felt two hands on her shoulders as she dressed for dinner.1:09
The hands were cold and hard, like the hands of a skeleton.1:18
My poor aunt was very frightened.1:24
She became ill and she never really got better.1:27
That is why my family and I do not like to stay here anymore.1:31
Did anyone else see the ghost?1:35
The Reverend Augustus Dampier also saw it, said lord cantarville.1:39
Dampier went to cambridge university.1:45
You know, he's very clever and not the kind of man who imagines things.1:47
No, of course not, said Mr. Otis.1:53
After the terrible thing that happened to my dear aunt, most of our servants left the house and didn't want to come back here to work.1:56
My poor wife, lady canterville, could not sleep at night.2:07
And of course, the strange noises that we hear in the halls and in the library make us even more afraid.2:13
I'm not afraid, said Mr. Otis.2:20
I want to take the house and the ghost.2:23
I come from a modern country where we have everything that money can buy.2:25
There is nothing in europe that we don't have in america.2:29
If there were ghosts, we would have some, too.2:33
And there are no ghosts in america, you know.2:36
Lord counterville smiled.2:39
I'm afraid that the ghost is real, he said.2:42
It is more than 300 years old, for members of my family first saw it in 1584.2:45
Shortly before any member of my family dies, the ghost appears.2:52
I'm sorry, he said, but I don't believe in ghosts.2:59
There is no such thing.3:03
Well, smiled lord canterville, I hope you are happy in the house, but you must remember that I warned you and you did not listen to me.3:05
