The Canterville Ghost

At Canterville Chase, there is a blood stain that can't be cleaned. This suggests that there is a permanent, stubborn mark on the property that cannot be removed or erased. The presence of a blood stain implies a dark history or a tragic event that has left a lasting impact on the location. The other options, such as an old, dirty dish, a blanket, or a dog, do not convey the same sense of permanence or significance as a blood stain.

Simon de Canterville became a ghost because he killed his wife. This act of murder resulted in his spirit being trapped in the Canterville Chase, unable to move on to the afterlife.

The Canterville Ghost gives Virginia a box of jewels. This is evident from the options provided, where the other choices (a dress, a suit of armor, and his old chains) do not align with the traditional notion of a ghostly gift.

Additionally, the mention of her being a ghost is not mentioned in the options, further confirming that she is the housekeeper.
