Mrs. Otis notices a bloodstain in the library and Washington rubs it out using ‘Pinkerton’s Champion Stain Remover and Paragon Detergent’.The stain resurfaces time and again, which forces the Otises to acknowledge the ghost’s presence.

Mrs Otis noticed a dull red stain on the floor on enquiring the housekeeper he came to know that it was the blood of Eleanore de centerville who was murdered by her husband. But the washington family didnt feel shocked or scared. Washington used a stain remover to rub the stain off.

But everyday the blood stain appeared and everyday washington tried to rub it off and finally they had to believe the fact that there was a ghost in the house.

The blood stain invited a lot of excitement from the Otis family. The continual renewal of the stain on the library floor was a strange occurrence as the door was always locked at night by Mr Otis and the windows were kept closely barred. The chameleon-like colour changes of the stain also excited a good deal of comment. From dull red to vermilion to a rich purple and once even a bright emerald-green. It amused the party very much and bets were freely made on the subject every evening. The only person who refrained from such jokes was little Virginia who some inexplicable reason was always a good deal distressed at the sight of the blood-stain and very nearly cried on the morning it was emerald-green.

The blood stain made everyone amused for the first time but after that the whole family was very used to that except Virginia.Even whenever the blood stain reappers Washington or Mr Otis used a stain remover to rub the stain off.
