Salazar Slytherin didn't think that muggle-born pupils should be educated at Hogwarts as they had dirty blood. However, the other founders disagreed. So, Slytherin built a secret Chamber and hid a Basilisk (a giant serpent) inside. Then, when his own heir (somebody who could speak parseltounge) arrived at the school, they could open the Chamber and release the monster who would purge the school of muggle-born students.

Before Salazar Slytherin, one of the four founders of Hogwarts, left the school, he built the Chamber of Secrets and sealed it so that only the Heir of Slytherin could open it. Inside the Chamber was a monster called a Basilisk. It was put there so that when the Chamber was opened, it would be released and would purge the school of Muggleborns.

Hogwarts was going to be closed after the monster in the Chamber killed a girl (Moaning Myrtle) and Hogwarts couldn't find the Chamber and prevent more students from dying. Tom Riddle, the person really behind the attacks, has nowhere to go as he was an orphan with no family. Hogwarts was the only home he ever knew and to stop it being closed, he framed Hagrid, who was keeping a giant acromantula in the castle.

Tom Riddle wanted to purge the school of muggle-born students who, he believed, didn't deserve to attend Hogwarts as they had stolen magic.

The snake didn't take Ginny into the chamber. Ginny was being possessed by Tom Riddle who made her go down. Riddle made her go there so that Harry would come down and save her.
