What happens at the climax of the story “The Monkey’s Paw”? Mrs. White believes her dead son is knocking at the door and goes downstairs to open the door. After Mr. White makes his third wish, he hears his wife wail, rushes downstairs, and runs outside. The White’s guest throws the monkey’s paw into the fire; Mr. White cries out and snatches it from the flames. A stranger knocks on the door, enters the room, and offers the Whites two hundred pounds.

It is believed that the climax is at the very end of the story when the couple hear a knock at the door and none is there. Which implies that their son came back from the "land of the dead".
