Lord Canterville's initial warning about the presence of the ghost foreshadows that there will be problems for the Otis family after they move in. Virginia's distress about the bloodstain reappearing every day foreshadows that she is more sensitive than the rest of her family, and that she will have a closer relationship with the ghost later in the story.
