The Canterville ghost wanted vengeance because of all the people he'd frightened at Canterville Chase.... the Otis family wasn't afraid of him. They were simply annoyed.

And after all this some wretched modern Americans were to come and offer him the Rising Sun Lubricator, and throw pillows at his head! It was quite unbearable. Besides, no ghost in history had ever been treated in this manner. Accordingly, he determined to have vengeance, and remained till daylight in an attitude of deep thought.
