what did virginia tell about the ghost after her return to canterville chase
 

Virginia returned to the family after a whole day that she had spent with the ghost. She told her family that the ghost had confessed about killing his wife and told her the reason why he had killed her. He had been repentant of his crime but solace had not been given to him. He was tired of roaming around as a ghost and being sleepless for hundreds of years. Virginia had prayed for his release from this life as a ghost and her sincere, innocent prayer had been heard. The ghost had left a box of priceless jewels for Virginia. She said that a service must be conducted for Sir Simon's peaceful rest.
