Lord Canterville warns Mr. Otis about the Canterville ghost in a very blunt and straightforward manner. Lord Canterville flat out tells Mr. Otis that there is a ghost in the house.
Indeed, Lord Canterville himself, who was a man of the most punctilious honour, had felt it his duty to mention the fact to Mr. Otis when they came to discuss terms.
Additionally, Lord Canterville tells Mr. Otis that he and his wife haven't really lived in the house too much. His wife and various other family members have been scared too many times by the ghost and refuse to be in the house anymore. Lastly, Lord Canterville tells Mr. Otis that even the young servants refuse to work in the house because of the ghost's presence.
Mr. Otis does not believe the ghost is real at all. He believes that if ghosts were real, Americans would already have them displayed in museums and circus acts.
