Q:1 Mention the plans made by ghost to frighten the otis family?

The Ghost had made elaborate plans to frighten the Otis family. He decided he would first frighten Washington Otis, by gibbering from the foot of his bed. When Washington would wake up hearing these sounds, the Ghost would stab himself three times to the sound of low music. After that, he would go to the bedroom of Mr. and Mrs. Otis. There he would put his cold and wet hand on Mrs. Otis' forehead and speak terrible words to words to wake up and frighten Mr. Otis. For Virginia Otis, he had decided he would make groaning sounds from the wardrobe or tap on her window pane. For the Otis twins he had special plans, because they plagued him the most. He would first sit on their chest, so that they felt as though they were having a nightmare. When they would wake up, the Ghost would stand between their beds in "the form of a green, icy-cold corpse, till they became paralyzed with fear, and finally, to throw off the winding-sheet, and crawl round the room, with white, bleached bones and one rolling eyeball, in the character of 'Dumb Daniel, or the Suicide's Skeleton". Such were the plans of the Ghost to frighten the Otis family.
